Beautifully classic pic from the west coast, but this is embracing physics; not defying gravity.

La Costa, CA. July 1975.

Fluency at its finest.

Edit: Just got back from a skate down the hill on my street and it was exhilarating. I suggest you do the same

Inertia

not at all

[–]RegencyAndCo 0 points1 point ago

Why not.

[–]Armonster 0 points1 point ago

well inertia is what keeps you moving forward when you come to a stop.

if anything, this doesn't need fancy physics words and could just be described as 'balance'.

Sidewalk surfing at it's finest!!

Hell you could probably cross post this to /r/HumanPorn as well if you wanted.

I love longboarding and this post is awesome!

[–]PhilxBefore 2 points3 points ago

I assume you already know, but if not, please enjoy r/Longboarding

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Did not. Thanks for sharing, Phil.

[–]PhilxBefore 0 points1 point ago

Anytime, brojangles.

[–]Chakky 1 point2 points ago

His name is Phil too. Just in case you had forgotten/didn't know

[–]PhilxBefore 0 points1 point ago

How the hell would you know that and why did you comment on a month old response?

[–]Chakky 1 point2 points ago

I was immensely bored and was digging through old reddit, when I saw these comments, he was tagged as Phil, and I realised that finally I could use RES's tagging function.

Sorry.

I feel like I should wait 17 days before commenting.

[–]Chakky 0 points1 point ago

So you waited 13 days?
