I'm just curious to see how many people skate like me 
. I, for one, really enjoy cruising an empty road on my longboard.

Longboard
Did you see the movie, "Lords of Dogtown"?
That is my era and we rode that style in empty swimming pools, etc.

great movie. i guess my era was getting harrased by the cops and actually being involed with some of the first street style skate parks built.
Still remember my board.......Santa Cruz board, Tracker trucks and OJ wheels with German bearings.
I started skating in 84 when i was eleven. Will be 39 soon, skating the whole time. Worked in a shop for many years and had some sponsors. My son skates too, he is now 18. I still ride when ever i can. My back has given out, so not as much as i wish. Eventually will have to get surgery. But... love bombing hills, flat ground, ramps/bowls/pools. Kids trip out when they get beat by the bald old man in game of skate. I try to keep my game up. Never owned a long board though.
And carvinguitarist, german bearings were the best. Then in the earlier to mid 90s, Chinese knock offs appear, still saying german on the shields, that total sucked. And from there on never saw another set of the originals. And the cheap chinese bearing took over. Only ride the bones Swiss at this point, as everything else sucks. You brought back memories with that one. Germans and NMBs.
