I'm Claude Atkins
I live in Alexandria Virginia and I've been a long longboarding for one year now.
Define longboarding? It's just longboarding you know?
Longboarding to me is an outlet
For, for anything that is going on. Because when you're going down a hill whether it's...
freeriding or downhill
you forget about everything you're going down the hill and thats
That's all you're thinking about, nothing else
I'm Greg. I live in Alexandria Virginia and I've been longboarding for three years now
Longboarding to me is a way to get around, It's not only a way to get around
It's a rush to be able to going down the hill, bustin' out a standy
Thirty foot standy. I actually used to think longboarding wasn't that...
Like it was a stupid thing to do. But, my friend Pat got me longboarding
like three years ago when I moved to Virginia
and haven't stopped since
We were trying to get that shot like all day
That like coming the big backside. Because I was the only one that could do a backside
And I fallen the one right before that so I had that little bit of nervousness goin
and then I tried to go big on it
and I just wen't for it and as soon as I tried to kicked it out, it just stuck and I just got tossed off.
alright I A
when a little bit too far outta my limits
I A came around the corner the way they don't mind
didn't bend my knees whatsoever my wheels grabbed up
and I got thrown off the board likely I was wearing
a helmet which probably saved my life but
it is a good experience and I'm
glad it happened because I made money off that

the
for my happiest moment long morning was definitely
getting to the bottom of that hill that one day I had done it a couple times
before
but this time in particular something happened to where I guess I wasn't
my foot position wasn't completely cracked
I so didn't do that right after I started and getting to the end of that
hell after getting
wobbles I well I don't know I wouldn't come while more than Kong
twitches the whole way down I
is that but the relieving happy experience knowing that I didn't mean it
memorable moment start the battle on the time

any but doubt he'd get back to Spurs want any
front side and any keep going down the hill so it's any
got and the hell got walls and masses

with my trucks I like to keep bond split
downwards and I'm going downhill because the rake in them
leaflet that makes it a lot more stable I really like these trucks mostly
because they're good for

takes is on
