DEC 04: Longboarding is NOT Skateboarding.

By Hali Estrada.

The other day I was going to meet with our Am Rider Leon for a night session and on my way to meet him something weird happened. I was crossing 9th Street and I ollied over a little hole on the ground and by the time I landed it I heard somebody shouting at me: “Skate or Die Bro!!” as I turned around I discovered this guy wearing sandals, cargo shorts, a tank top, sun glasses (It was dark already) and carrying this huge LongBoard, then he proceeded to ride away trying to do what I think is a “Hang Ten Nose manual”…. follow him were this other two Hipster Guys riding this little colorful Plastic Toy Skateboards and hardly keeping balance on this little “grip less” things.

I’ve been seeing more and more of this “Longboarders and Extreme Tiny Plastic Cruisers” here in LA but this incident in particular was the inspiration for this Tshirt. I have nothing against Longboards but I think Longboarding is a completely separate thing from Skateboarding, I can never see myself wearing a tight full leather suit and a motorcycle helmet to go down a hill on my Skateboard, Longboarding is NOT Skateboarding and anybody with common sense will notice that, it would be like comparing Hokey and Figure Skating, they both Skate on ice but they are completely different things, of course Longboarding could be maybe fun and exiting ( If you go extremely fast ) or maybe a good way to go to the Beach but lets be clear that is definitely NOT SKATEBOARDING.

I’ve seen this not only in LA but also in my home town Lima, Peru. I’ve seen people confusing Longboarding with Skateboarding many times, specially among the upper class, I’ve seen many “Surferitos” and also “Surferitas” riding their $200 Longboards and calling it Skateboarding, even trying to Kickflip on those things ( Which is Possible but in my opinion it looks RIDICULOUS ).

I think you “Bro’s” should embrace your Longboards, go out with your leather suits and “Power Ranger” helmets and go nuts on a hill or just cruise by the beach with your dog, get together and create a “Longboard Association” and make events to get more people to Longboard, Im pretty sure a lot of people will join your “Sport”, but please, DONT CALL IT SKATEBOARDING. (And by the way Skateboarding is not a Sport).

So, this is the message we would like to share with you: “LONGBOARDING is NOT SKATEBOARDING”, and here at Choncordia we only make SKATEBOARDS, if you want a Longboard please go somewhere else.

T shirt is now available at the STORE, Sorry “Bro’s”.
