Book excerpt: In 2012, a skateboarder riding a longboard traveled more than 80 miles (129 km) per hour downhill to break the world record for fastest longboard speed. On the other hand, the longboard skateboard is likely the best skateboard to ride for just getting around via skateboard! Readers are introduced to the many ways of riding a longboard, including in downhill competitions and freeriding. Full-color photographs highlight the fast action of the sport, while the main content encourages caution when beginning a new, daredevil sport. Safety tips and fact boxes add even more detail about this fun emerging sport.
