Long Boarding Bimingham

Longboarding Birmingham

What is long boarding?

If you don't know you are either here to learn or just stumbled on here on accident.
do not leave yet if you are here on accident because i am sure i will convince you to change you mind about the so called rebellious skaters but to be honest with you if u think I am rebellious you have something wrong with you. Long boarding is a smaller community than your typical skateboarders but it is a much nicer community, we are scattered across the globe but that wont stop our passion.
A long board is a over sized skate board and come in categories of shapes and sizes:

  • Pintail
  • Twin tip
  • single tip
  • twin tip over mounted
The list goes on with Mixes of each genre suited to each skating style.

What is this blog about?

Longboarding Birmingham is made by me (MrjuicygamingHD) an ex-hardcore gamer but recently i found a new love...
Well I guess you will already know what my new found love is judging by the name of this blog but for the odd idiot its about long boarding and my love for the sport. I feel that longboarding is not just any old sport it shows personality in the way you ride and the size of board you have and  what trucks, wheels, how soft or hard your bushings are etc. Long boarding is not just a sport for america or U.K but it is connected worldwide with a huge community and me being the first to write about long boarding in a place like Birmingham really does show that long boarding can be found anywhere.
Even in places where the weather is as crappy as here. :)

Me living in Birmingham ( Small place in The U.K) What Kind of Style do i ride?

I ride Pintail Mainly because i wanted to get into sliding but i prefer speed runs and Carving Because i find it extremely relaxing :)
I am willing to invest in a twin top over mount and i am extremely tempted but his is what i currently own and i love.
Saving up though :)
Fingers crossed i get my £100 for the twin tip deck
Gonna get some solid mindless team rouge sliding wheels
with bones red abec 9 bearings.
FINGERS CROSSED :)
