Longboards





Longboard Season

I started longboarding just this past summer on my brothers longboard, but once I took a liking to the sport I purchased a board of my own. Over the coarse of the past summer I was teaching myself the basics of longboarding such as carving, cruzing etc. Once I tackled all that jazz, I began leaning some of the more simple longboard tricks such as the early grab, Coleman side, a variation of other hands on slides, both the toe and heal side 180 and a couple types of dancing. Although I managed to complete a fair amount of longboard tricks in my first season many of these tricks are quit similar. In longboarding the tricks are kind of split into families, and what I did in my starting year was I found some simple starter tricks and I worked my way up the family of tricks unil I complete them all. In this coming longboard season I hope to complete many different verities of kick flips which I didn't quit get to in this past season. So until then I hope to work on my snowboarding skills and keep you posted about my progress.

Greetings

Hi my name is Lukas Schroeder, I will be recording my progress and giving other information for my passion project. It will be mainly based on snowboarding but I also may include a bit from my first longboarding season from the past summer. During this project I hope to learn transitions and  tricks both from my mentor and other sources off the Internet. This is not my first snowboarding season but I still have very little experience therefore there is much to learn. I also hope to give you more information over the coarse of this project like my progress, tricks that I will be learning, hopefully pictures and possibly even videos, my materials, mentors, locations & more.
