Fashion Skatement (Statement)

I know, I know, looking good while skating is such a big issue for you guys. Who would want to look like crap on a photo or video while doing a 100-foot standie? Style is not only applicable to the way you skate it is also relevant in the way you look. Ditch those lame old straight cut jeans and oversized shirts, because making a statement through your skills is good, but add a statement through fashion and you should be killing those photos and video edits.

Top 10: Sexy-looking boards

Disclaimer: This is not an accurate ranking; it is based on a poll and some of my personal opinion.

10.) Omen Airship

Don’t be fooled by the name. Contrary to actual airships, which are huge, bulging, and slow, this airship is fast, rigid and compact. It sports a one-directional shape with the Accelerated Rocker design that gives it the distinct dropped look and feel. The shape on the tail end gives it an aerodynamic vibe.

Longboarding: Society a One-sided Judge

Most people nowadays pretty much cling on what the majority of the people in our society think and they don’t bother asking why. They only look on the negative side of things, ride on with the bandwagon and abolish whatever that does not fit in the norms, instead of looking in the positive side and finding a way to make things work out. They jump to conclusions rather than hearing our side of the story. We skaters, especially here in our small community in Dumaguete, are misunderstood, misconceived, outcasts, persona non grata, at least for most of the people.

Slide-Show

Crazy stalefish grab sit down slide.

Sliding, a technique used by skaters that is initiated by breaking wheel traction and at the same time maintaining control over the board then re-initiating traction to efficiently reduce speed when entering tight corners or for emergency braking. Well, others do it for maximum style and steez depending on the situation.
