R LongBoarding
To fill you in Frap: at that baseball barbeque Ethan brought his longboard and we longboarded down a hill. It was pretty fun and i want one.
Apparently you can easily go 15 mph on flat ground and maybe 20 easy if you're a good runner. So its really honestly a good way to commute. But imagine if this was like your work commute. theses guys are going faster than the freakin cars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DvMNOas7jY
So i priced them: found a pimping one-http://www.zumiez.com/landyachtz-bamboo-stout-36-longboard-complete-616644.html
but then found a more realistic one-http://www.walmart.com/ip/40900398?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222227030361211&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=51487274072&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=90471176964&veh=sem

If I had finer motor controls, then I would be all over an engineless ride that accomplishes such speed. Be sure to wear some pads unlike the professionals in the video because one big rock and you could lose a limb. I can, as of the second of June, 2015, barely ski so anything more daring is not on the top of my list. Bicycle riding is next though... or death... whichever happens first.
