Cora Ellis

So yeah this girl named Cora Ellis. She is the hands-down the  best sit-down-hallway-longboarder. She has the best technique ever.  She zooms past teachers with no consequence. I dont know how she does it. This is probably a sport that you haven't heard of. But its legit. check her out ya'll.

Popular Skate Apparel

Down here on the Gulf Coast, the basic outfit for skating consists of a hat, skater's brand of a tank top, some board shorts, and a nice pair of kicks. So I'll tell you the best brands for each of the items listed:

Hat:

Skater or not, on Pleasure Island you gotta have some sorta hat game. Vans makes really cool hats, and my personal favorite brand of hat is Neff. If you are looking for a more non-skate theme, Neff is the way to go.


Tank-Top:

Neff or RVCA. No questions asked.


Board shorts:

Hurley, Billabong, RVCA, but Alpines



tars are my favorite by far.


Kicks:

Vans, DC, Etnies, Adios, Emerica, Fallen. Check em out.

Trucks

Alright, we're gonna talk about trucks. For longboards. I will just go ahead and tell you the two most well known brands of trucks down here. There are Bear's and Paris's. On my current longboard, I have the Paris trucks.  Now in general, Paris trucks are more well known for stuff like tricking, sliding, pumping, etc. And I must say Paris trucks are good for downhill although that is not their main purpose. Bear trucks however are more focused on downhill racing and bombing. Bear's tend to have a more thick, somewhat bulky look to them. They seem to be really sturdy. I'm not saying Paris trucks arent sturdy but Bear's are just better specialized for downhill and Paris are more fit for tricks. Here's a couple of images for ya. Bear trucks are first, Paris are second.

Skateparks

I am probably about to start getting into skatepark skating. I've been wanting to for a while. The thing I want to do the most is skating in pools. Now that I have adjusted to my Penny Board, I feel like I should get some tricks down. So I think thats what I am gonna do. On a side note, before I was about to post this, I have just been informed that there are no pools in a 100 mile radius. Well thats.... thats just saddening.

I Highly Recommend Fullbag Skateboards To New Skaters

Hey guys. As I have said before,  I want a Fullbag downhill longboard but the one I have been wanting for a while isn't even as cool as other Fullbag skateboards. I looked on their website (fullbag.com) and they have several different size boards for sale. I discovered that longer longboards aren't necessarily always better. That being said, I have reconsidered what board that I want. They are pictured below:
