If your like me then your going to want to get a long-board, I have a semi busy schedule every week so having a long-board that can reach high speeds and keep that speed for the distance is very helpful. But it all also depends where you live and how the terrain is, in my town/towns there is a bike path that can take you through four towns with no stopping. Most places do not have things like this so depending where you live decides whether you should get a long board or a skate board.I choose a long board cause I feel like I have more control, the only reason I would get a skateboard is because I like the design it has or because I want to start learning tricks other than that skateboards are small and compact for easy grab and go. but if none of those work for you and you live in a big town with many streets, i advise you to get a penny board because it doesn’t take much space on the side walk and can fit in most back packs.

What kind of terrain would be best to ride when you’re in a rush?

.Terrain. The best kind of terrain to ride your board in is smooth pavement there are no indents in the ground so it makes it more of a luxury to cruise, maybe even pop a manual while your at it. But if you don’t have any smooth roads by the area you ride the public sidewalk and regular road pavement will do, it will just take a bit more effort to get places compared to smooth pavement.

.Time. If and When you are in a rush your timing may not be your best friend, most of the time it could be the biggest set back when needing to get to your destination at a certain time period. But all that can be changed with a few simple steps

.Routes. Scouting the route to your destination may lead you to some shortcuts or a route that isn’t on google maps or your standard town map that can cut your time in half.

This post is going to be me talking about my personal views on a board and there pros/cons.

.Long-boards. My opinion on long-boards differ from my thoughts on a regular board. I just find long-boards to be very helpful with transportation because they are made for distance and speed. All though you wont be as fast as a car you can sure do tricks or take certain routes to have some type of fun.

.Stress Relief. When I cruise I get this feeling of being able to control [anything] my direction,perspective and speed plus my music. I personally think your music has a lot to do with effecting your riding, whether its fast paced or slow down music it can really put a toll to your riding, so if I were you I would put some relaxing music so you can enjoy your ride.

.Speed. The fact that your board has no brakes means you got speed with no resistance and maybe you should consider buying a helmet with some knee pads or elbow pads. Other than buying protective gear you should invest your money in getting sliding gloves, they keep you from getting road rash on your hands, and are great for needing to hop off your board during a scary situation.

Theses things are what go through my head when I think about long boarding.

Hello today I will be instructing how put together a uncompleted board.

First grab your deck and grip-tape, you’ll need a knife or scissors for these first instructions. now pull back the seal on the grip-tape and apply the grip-tape to the top of your board ,if you get air bubbles its okay just make a small slit into the bubble and smooth it out with a credit card or something flat, once you’re done smoothing out your tape, cut off any excess tape hanging from your board.

Now we move to the next steps of completing your board, Next grab your trucks and bolts+nuts , now when placing your trucks on your board you must make sure the bolt on the trucks is facing inwards of the board,now secure it on there tightly with a Philips screw driver . make sure your trucks are not moving at all when you check to see if they are secure if they are moving around it means you either forgot a screw or didn’t tighten it enough.

Now that you have your trucks on we move onto putting your bearings in your wheels, when putting on your bearings be aware that each wheel takes two bearings and a spacer in between them, once you have done this to all four wheels you may put them on the end of your trucks now, now when putting on the nut for your wheels make sure they are on but not fully touching the wheel, if you tighten the nut to much it will create resistance when you ride so make sure your nut is not interfering with your wheels, now that you have your wheels on go test out your new ride(outside) .

Finally now that your board is complete if it is to difficult for you to turn ,loosen your truck bolt, located on the bottom of the board towards the center and if you are able to turn with little to no ease then that means you have to tighten the bolt on your trucks. other than that your board is complete and thank you for viewing my instructions on how to complete a board. Enjoy Your Riding Experience!!!

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
