I don't agree that the video would've been unremarkable with a bunch of young guys instead. Compare it with this one, I think most people who like the one will also like the other - http://videosift.com/video/Madrid-Longboard

Now this one has had a few more votes, but the other one never got a promote (which this one has) and the other one is twice the length, and it's always harder to get people to watch longer videos (well, it takes longer!!!).

Speaking for myself, I would certainly have upvoted the exact same video with guys instead of girls, and as at least one straight girl has voted for this I don't really think I'm going out on a limb to say I'm not probably alone here.

Watch it again to enjoy it for the excellent production values, and great soundtrack.>> ^TickleMyElmo:

It's a bit sad that a video that would be totally unremarkable with a bunch of guys is so unusual with girls. I'll have to bookmark this to show my twin girls when they get a little older.

Yeah, longboards are more for cruising and enjoying long turns rather than doing tricks via the small boards.>> ^luxury_pie:

Longboards seem to be better suited to go faster and to do easier curves.
This may result from having the tires at the end of the board.
Sooo longboard = fast, cruise; skateboard = tricks, jumps and craziness.
I guess.

You are most welcome.

That looks like fun. It's a shame I'm too old to learn to skate, and too old to stay up until dawn to skate at dawn anyway.

Why would you choose a longboard over a normal skateboard? It seems to bend quite alarmingly in the middle...

For a good ride it's worth it. Just wear your Orca repellent, L'odeur des Palin!

I want to know where this is... That's an epic left! I'd love to be on a longboard there.

Actually I would counter that you wouldn't given that there are frisky orcas in the water!

Hey Choggatron, thanks for the offer, but it seems like your Vintage video did fine without my famous breath of life.

Also, the turtle is society, and you're the one trying to get it to move, even if only an inch at a time, am I right? May I respectfully suggest rollerskates?

The "Longboard" tag brought it up. Odd that auto-match didn't catch it. <shrug>
