The Increasing Popularity of the Longboard

In Gulf Shores, the only people you see on bikes are either snowbirds or old people. Ever since skateboarding became popular, people started to skate around on their skateboards to get around town. But we all know that you gotta have a good skateboard to get across town with. For one, unless you have got some GOOD wheels and GOOD bearings. Either way, skateboards just weren't designed for cruising. But for some people, standing on a piece of wood and pushing with your feet was fun. So longboards appeared everywhere on the Gulf Coast. Due to their heavier weight and long sleek design, longboards are perfect for getting around a small town like ours. One push will have you going for at least 30 seconds. And cruising isn't the only thing longboards are good for either. In fact, they are good for even more sports not possible by most skateboards such as downhill longboarding and street luge. And tricks are still possible of course like sliding. And to top it off, you don't have to lock it up and leave it unattended when you go somewhere. You can carry it where ever you go.
