When the snow stops, the rain pours, then the sun shines. Leaves and flowers bloom from the tree branches; and that yellow dead grass grows green and soft. Soft enough to fall in! During Colorado's warm season, Bucky bucks out his longboard and finds the steepest, smoothest, and (don't forget) safest hills. Living in Fort Collins, I can't speak for the whole state, but Fort Collins has got some gnarly hills. I'll be talking longboarding, skateboarding, and maybe mountain biking and hiking later in the season. For now, longboarding is going to be my topic of discussion.
I've owned several boards. My board right now, is a Loaded Flex 2 on Gull Wing trucks with yellow Orangatang Stimulus wheels. I'll admit I'm a much much better skier than a longboarder. I can take those steep hills and carve my way down; rarely going over 30 mph.
The things I see these guys do longboards just leaves me stunned. They cruise down hillsides either heading straight down or power sliding the BUCK out of those boards going at speeds and sometimes exceeding 40 maybe 50 mph! WOOO GETTIN BUCK!
