What skaters THINK longboarding looks like 🤓🛹

[lucasbastos]

Skateboarding: For people who wants to get hurt doing maneuvers

Longboarding: For people who wants to get hurt going on high speed

Remember people who call other skaters posers are probably dog water themselves

Skateboarding: for people who want to get hurt

Longboarding: for people who want to die

Any of those people can be skaters. If you're on a board, and you're having a good time. You're a skater to me. I don't care. I don't understand the whole gatekeeping thing. Do what makes you happy

[Haikara-pacer]

Honestly, as a guy who skateboards and longboards, both of these are accurate. Neither are good generalizations, but both are accurate for different parts of longboarding

[dragonclaw._.animations]

Real skaters acknowledge skill of any kind, whether it's skateboarding Longboarding or even scootering

[hentaifansandpfpusermustdi]

Nah us skater ain't that gatekeeping very much. Just skate for fun and strees reliever and you'll be alright..

I got a board when I was 16, I’m 18 now and after graduating I have so much time so I’ve been skateboarding I don’t know tricks yet, but I had had so much fun seeing myself being comfortable on the board, tonight I finally was able to do the thing where you run and put your board down and jump on to get speed.

[whimzycloud]

So now longboarders gatekeeping other longboarders?

[tmshaweenee]

both are equally good just let people enjoy whatever they wanna do

[syluxv]

I may catch flak, but I really do hate when I get called a cheater by another longboarder when I am using an esk8. Like brother, I am not even competing with anyone. I am also just trying to have fun my own way while getting around

[SodaCanGaming]

I don’t care what people do as long as they aren’t ruining my day

[chancethewizard]

fr, we get so much shit and for what?

Skateboarding is literally *founded* on being an outlet for social outcasts, and now we have kids throwing shade around and being elitist assholes, even amongst themselves.

I switched from skateboarding to longboarding due to fracturing my wrist. And honestly, just cruising around is WAY more enjoyable for me than regular skateboarding. But everyone's different, and that's ok. That's what it's all about anyway.

TL;DR
Stop being an elitist prick and let people enjoy what they will.

[ComicKodi]

Nah I’m the first pictures as a long boarding. I just like cruising. Don’t need no tricks lol

[sysdumb]

if youre pushing the limits, youre a skater, period

[JackXTV]

Let’s be brutally honest: what we think of longboards are 90% of longboarders💀

HOWEVER, if you’re having fun, it’s all love bro

[FoxxyFortniteee]

aight boys quick story time. I was going down a hill full speed pretty steep with some pot holes. did this with my friend, and she went first, had no problem. I went next, and this thick patch of random grass just popped up in a crack and tripped me off my longboard. Ugh hurt like heck. my knee was completely destroyed, and I have a nasty scar there to prove it… lesson: maybe wear some knee pads lol

[JordiTNV]

As a skater i can confirm that longboarders look like that

[Adrenaline-dl]

What long boarding is vs how they see it

[grmm]

As a skater who just got a long board, skaters aren't the judgemental. A few may give you stink eye, but as long as you're pushing and having fun, that's all that matters
