Longboarding Around the World

Longboarding is a very popular sport all around the world.

A common thing for some longboarders is traveling to different countries to find spots to skate. Some longboard companies, such as LandYachtz, come from the North American continent to countries such as Africa, Asia, and Europe, to skate and meet the locals. A recent event would be LandYachtz's trip to South Africa, where they skated down the biggest hills and joined with local longboarders to have a good time.

Popular longboarding events also take place around the world, which includes downhill races. Every year, there's an event called the "Maryhill Festival of Speed," located in Maryhill, Washington, USA. Hundreds of riders, including some that come from different countries, come all the way down to Washington to skate the Maryhill Loops Road, a 3.6 mile long downhill road, which has many sharp turns, and fast straights.

Longboarding takes you places, and its a great international sport. Someday, I will also travel to cool places to find spots to skate.
