It seems like you tried a little too hard to be artistic

[QUOTE=LethalBunny;32384392]It seems like you tried a little too hard to be artistic[/QUOTE]...That sums up alot of longboarding videos ive seen.

[QUOTE=yuper11;32384581]...That sums up alot of longboarding videos ive seen.[/QUOTE] very well, carry on

[QUOTE=yuper11;32384581]...That sums up alot of longboarding videos ive seen.[/QUOTE] The source of inspiration is apparent.

Whenever I see a vimeo player, I expect a high quality video... not in this case sadly, but good music none the less.

[QUOTE=yuper11;32384581]...That sums up alot of longboarding videos ive seen.[/QUOTE] Then why not try to be different? Don't be like every other video.

[QUOTE=tesher07;32387320]Whenever I see a vimeo player, I expect a high quality video... not in this case sadly, but good music none the less.[/QUOTE] except it wasn't good music.

[QUOTE=skynrdfan3;32396947]except it wasn't good music.[/QUOTE]except that's our music preference, deal with it.

I actually live really close to there.

i want a longboard so bad

[QUOTE=Rediscover;32403335]i want a longboard so bad[/QUOTE]make sure you know what you want before you get it because they are expensive and there is a ton of different styles

[QUOTE=Rediscover;32403335]i want a longboard so bad[/QUOTE] You would just get bored of it in like 2 weeks and go back to sitting on facepunch all the time until i offer to hang out or you go with colob or something. Just like usual.

Really? You used the same song that Danny Macaskill used in his most popular video? (27 million views) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z19zFlPah-o[/media]

I have to say, no damn fisheye lens is always a plus.

Yeah using the music from dannys video ruined it. Plus longboarding is all about long swooping videos going down hills, not skateparks.

Ok so instead of just putting down your effortslets give him some constructive criticism So first off, the camera angles were pretty good. Most of them, anyway. There's the one coming down the hill there a car comes from the right, that wasn't so great because it wasn't focused enough on a feature, in this case the skater. I mean you can even focus it on a tree or something and it will still look good if the riders come into view, you just need to have a feature in every shot that the camera is trained on, you did that in the other shots pretty well Also a better quality camera would be good, too As the above poster mentioned, you need to longboard in larger places rather than small roads and flat spaces. Other than that, good choice of music

Dude, Longboarding is all about going downhill fast. You guys aren't even considered longboarders.

Not to mention that carving and cruising were around before speedboarding, we're not members of the landyachtz team. We're three kids with decks who just want to skate.[QUOTE=No Party Hats;32414584]Dude, Longboarding is all about going downhill fast. You guys aren't even considered longboarders.[/QUOTE]

Nah mate, if you wanna cut up a park, you buy a skateboard. Longboarding is all about long carves down hills.

[QUOTE=No Party Hats;32415480]Nah mate, if you wanna cut up a park, you buy a skateboard. Longboarding is all about long carves down hills.[/QUOTE] I skated a lot a couple years ago. Then my board broke so I got a longboard. I'm getting back into it this year

Hah, I live about 3 hours from there! Nice video.

It's funny, people call Snowboards the Skateboarding of Snow, but I think of it as more of Long Boarding. It feels like Longboarding when you're going down anyhow.
