    Any good longboarding race spots in the ottawa area ? any decently large and steep hills ?

    MrH


      As this is a running site I don't know if you will get much help on long boarding races in Ottawa, but in the spirit of being helpful, there is a major quilting festival coming up in Houston at the end of October,

        I always associate longboarders with people with unusual costumed, anthropomorphic fetishes. Vancouver (that's right over yonder from Ottawa, right?) has a furry convention, VancouFur, next year. http://www.vancoufur.ca

         

        Hope this helps!

          Has anybody longboarded the AT?

          It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

              We know Grandma Gatewood carried a quilt on the trail.

               

              Some through-hikers probably resemble furries by the end.

               

              Setting a longboarding FKT may be the next thing.

                Longboards are fast and stable, but not particularly agile, especially in chop.  I recommend a much shorter board for the rocky parts of the AT.

                  Is there a particular wax you would recommend to make it smoother?

                    That's what she said.

                      There was a point in my life when I ran. Now, I just run.

                       

                      We are always running for the thrill of it

                      Always pushing up the hill, searching for the thrill of it

                        How long should a longboard be for it be logged as a longboard race.

                          Mr Zog's is really the only wax to get.

                           

                          Longboards are 8+ feet. As for how long the race needs to be, well, it's not how long you make it... it's how you make it long.

                              Surprising how long it took from SRL's soft pitch to the swing...

                              Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.
