i ride a stacy peralta warptail around and i surf the fuck out of hills on that little bitch,perfect for cutting pedestrians and traffic.i dont see how or why youd rock a big-ass longboard in the city,99% of those dudes also keep their trucks tight as fuck,defeating the whole purpose of having the thing.i was skating my 80's cabalerro in toronto last spring,and a dude asked me if it was a short longboard?!?!?!?im not hatin,but a lot of these kids are obviously buying into the fad without knowing the ropes.they act like they dont need to learn how to skate before buying a 6 foot board which they look ridiculous pushing on.theyd be better off buying a pig or a pool deck with loose indys and some soft wheels.
