I've been getting back into longboarding lately and yesterday my boyfriend got a board too so we can cruise together! It was literally his maiden voyage on this board and the vibes were right and we skated 11 miles! This is the furthest either of us have gone on our boards and it was such a satisfying adventure! We grabbed some trail beers about halfway in and then skated all the way to our favorite cocktail bar and back. It was awesome ✨

I adopted this boy from the shelter a couple months ago. I have another cat who does not do the dangle, but as this guy has gotten more comfortable at our house, he just gets danglier and danglier!

I used to board a ton when I was 16 - 18. I got into the idea of longboard dancing and saved up to buy myself this OG Loaded Bhangra (which was new at the time). I learned a couple simple tricks and I was proud of myself. Anyways at some point life became all adult-y. I stopped skating nearly as much when I was around 19. Then the pandemic hit, I moved to remote work, my climbing gym closed and my activity levels plummeted. I gained around 50lbs since I was 18, I'm 26 now. Getting back on the board feels like trying to reclaim the youth I lost through the pandemic and a 9 - 5 corporate job. I also just need hobbies that keep me from drinking because that's honestly been my main hobby for the past 4 years. I know 26 isn't that old but I feel old. Anyone else on here pick their board back up in their late 20's or even later?
