Well, I was going to buy a new unicycle.

Since I have not had a workable one in a couple years.

Buuuuuuuut...I bought the loaded dervish longboard instead. I guess a new unicycle will have to wait.

I have never even seen a longboard in person, and I dont even skateboard.

But thats the same thing I did with unicycling!

It shall be here on Wednesday and im pumped as ever.

The subject line in a thread should be what the thread is about in this case Longboarding, not the first sentence of your story.

Seriously? You've got to be kidding me. What does it matter?

Longboards are cool. Very flexible.

That does look like fun! Been debating a longboard deck myself but right now I'm having too much fun unicycling.

I do!! At my school, kids can make their own longboards in the Woodshop. It costs them half the price of buying one, and they can completely customize it. They're great for getting around, but not much else. People are now making downhill longboards, which are thicker, and they claim they get up to 80km/h (I'm somewhat skeptical).

Anyway, longboards are nice, but unicycles are better!!

I would be wary of someone who said they went 80km/h on their longboard. They're either lying or their crazy.

It's only because at a quick glance down the list of threads, there's no way to know that yours is about longboarding, so people who might actually want to talk about longboards will ignore your post. It's not a big deal, but it makes your thread have more traffic.

lets see... 80km/h would be about 50mph...

Its not smart unless you're wearing proper gear.

but I wouldn't doubt it.

ffs. Leave people alone.


seriously, ffs, why the hell do people care so much about bitching at what other people do?

you can obviously just drag your mouse over the title, and it'll do the first bit of the subject. thats what i do. thats what lead me in here.



btw, sounds cool, make a video of riding the board.

Why don't people follow forum etiquette and not make redundant topics and use relevant subject heading?

why dont people stop bitching about the people not following the forum etiqette.

seriously.

it doesnt matter. It serious to god does not matter.


because the previous threads are already dead, and another one brings it back to mind, and then serves its short life, then dies, then another comes up.


and the whole title thing, so what? it kinds offers up that "lets go in, because i dont know what its saying", thus your obligated to post. even if not, who cares? theres enough people on this forum that will go into the thread even if the title is irrelevant, it wont attract the most people who are interested in what the subject is, but hell, do you want people to start posting all JC things in RSC? because then it would get a lot more traffic.
