Original Longboard Skateboard Review

Saturday September 1, 2007
Original Longboard Torpedo SkateboardOriginal Skateboards makes complete longboards - decks, trucks, the works. Two brothers started the company in 2002, using their college money, and created a seriously impressive longboard brand! These aren't just recycled board designs with Randal trucks slapped on the bottoms - the boards are high quality and their trucks are spring-loaded! If you are looking for something fresh to cruise around on, read the rest of this review of Original Skateboards.

Mike,
What you are trying to do is called “pumping”. Pumping allows you to propel yourself forward using thrust generated only by your body and the board (with out kicking off the ground).

Good resources can be found online via google, search “Learning to pump a skateboard” or some variation.
