Love the title – I literally laughed out loud. You’re giving the Gagster a run for his money these days.
The only bumpersticker I have ever put on my car in 40 years of owning cars was “Skateboarding is not a Crime”. My oldest was a skateboarder – we lost him years ago but I love to watch boys tearing up the streets of San Francisco as I once watched him. Thanks for posting boarder clips. lorraine
Hi Julie- Thanks, but no one can touch Bob. Sui generis
Hi Lorraine- The BSBFB loves longboarding!
At what point do you start wishing for a spectacular bone jarring crash instead of watching the long boarding? Like NASCAR and Telledaga – “The Big One”? :>)
I’m probably in the minority here, but I’m not a huge fan of long boarding. If only because back in CT, I had a close encounter with one of these long boarders on a blind curve, 10 degree hill about a mile long. Fortunately nobody got hurt (well, my truck got a nice dent in the side from trying to avoid running the kid over – knocked over a mail box). I’m not impressed. And I suspect neither would you be if one of these kids ended up head first through a wind shield.
I’m not for banning them – I’m a pick your poison guy – and I’m speaking from a position of knowing risks – like jumping out of perfectly good airplanes and helicopters at altitude. :>) But there has to be some kind of common sense about this – don’t play in traffic might be one rule.
PS: Would that be Bob Monkhouse by any chance?
Nope – Gagdad Bob. About whom Sipp is correct, but of course the same is true of Sipp.
I filmed and edited this video, these are not longboards, they’re FREEBORDS http://www.freebord.com. WAYYY more control than a longboard, slide or even stop anytime you want on any hill. It brings the control of snowboarding to the street.
