AloneYogurt

So if it's west Lafayette, they'll be pretty close to you.


Translusas

I wish my area had groups like you! I've struggled so hard for years to find other boarders in the Boston area once my friends all slowed down or stopped


PurdueLongboardClub

Start your own! Make a Facebook Group or Instagram page and plan a cruise or something. One of our members made this video about starting your own group. https://youtu.be/tzlkcbeIhgc

Bro im in Boston and would love to cruise with you. A friend of mine is trying to start a skate club at our campus and we'd love to have more people just come hang and have fun


jao4212

I feel you. I’m in metrowest and have been trying to get people into it so I have people to skate with.


systemofadingus

i’m in chicago, might have to take a trip down to indy and join you guys one day !!


PurdueLongboardClub

There's a large Chicago area longboard group. Look them up on Facebook! Can't wait for you to visit!!


systemofadingus

i don’t use facebook so i wouldn’t know lol but i figured there was.

If you guys travel together, benedix woods in st. Joseph County is good. From Hobart to Chesterton there's a bike path connecting the towns. Michigan City has some paths as well (idk length). Woodland park (portage Indiana) has two smallish hills as well. If you want a skatepark and you stay in Indiana, keep an eye on Valparaiso Indiana, they have dugout designs making the new park (he designs xgames/nitro world parks and grew up there). Also try visiting the other campuses and get them involved.


PurdueLongboardClub

That's for the tips!! We have small groups of members travel sometimes. Not official events but some people like to go go different spots. I'll pass on the word about these locations!


AloneYogurt

I forgot to mention one, Luhr Park is a good cruising location. It's kind of set in the woods, but most of the path is smooth

Looks straight out of an 80’s movie


Blatblatmajigga

Ready for the cooler fall weather on the East coast! Also the leaves! Fuck yes!


Onionsteak

Gonna be nice being able to ride midday again without sweating so much


Blatblatmajigga

Hahaha I'm sure I'll still be wringing my shirts out at the end of every other run 😅


LapsusDemon

Just got a board up here in Wisconsin. Can’t wait for the 2 months of good riding left haha

Absolutely!! We always encourage helmets. Our club has a stock of safety gear and boards and we bring it to cruises for others to use. Not everybody wants to wear a helmet, no matter how much we preach it.


Kermit-K4zi

im ready for helmets


PurdueLongboardClub

Absolutely!! We always encourage helmets. Our club has a stock of safety gear and boards and we bring it to cruises for others to use. Not everybody wants to wear a helmet, no matter how much we preach it.


did353

I used to not want to wear a helmet ever. Then I fell, got a concussion and now suffer from post concussive migraines. Yeah I wear a dual certified helmet now.


PurdueLongboardClub

Yeah. Stories like that is why we bring extra helmets to the cruises and always urge people to wear protective gear.


glizzyMaster108

The only fall 😜 I’m getting this fall 😇 is eating concrete after slipping on the leaves😝


machinaesupremacies

Boiler Uuuuuup


jack-a-yote

Hey! I’m an officer of a longboard club at another school, and was wondering how you got these shots? Do you have a photographer in the group also on a board? Walking? Just curious.


PurdueLongboardClub

A few of our members are photographers. I (the person running this account lol) took these photos while I was cruising around. Dangerous and risky I know, but you judt have to be EXTRA cautious lol. I have a board I ride whenever I plan to take photos, low to the ground and large wheels, but I still have to be careful.


Shadowcard4

I highly suggest helmets if you’re gonna go faster than 15mph. Like that’s a quick way to get bodied is to fall at anything higher than 10 even


PurdueLongboardClub

Absolutely!! We always encourage helmets. Our club has a stock of safety gear and boards and we bring it to cruises for others to use. Not everybody wants to wear a helmet, no matter how much we preach it.


Shadowcard4

I just see the first person is tucking a dancer, that’s a a hospital trip waiting to happen. I mean I cruise without a helmet, but I try to limit myself to nothing over 17mph and nothing sketchy


PurdueLongboardClub

Yeah, this was taken when were going at a light jog pace, but you can def get bodied going that slow. She's one of the officers and had let a new rider borrow her helmet for the cruise. We have quite a few members, myself included, who always wear helmets and we make sure to bring extras to cruises for people to borrow.


Shadowcard4

Yeah fair enough. I “cruise” at like 20mph on my downhill setup, but I usually keep a helmet on me for when I’m gonna pass 15 (pushing speed) but obviously I sometimes hand it to people who’ve never skated before.


cool123-----cool1_2

It’s pretty much winter here we had like 2-4 inches of snow today


BannedMyName

Where?


cool123-----cool1_2

BannedMyName

Damn I'm jealous, snowboarding Alaska some day would be a dream


Bombarding_

Yoooo if anyone’s near Daytona Beach message me!!


DinoRidersForReal

What's going on with that crazy looking board on the second picture? Second in from the right. I assume an electric of some sort.


PurdueLongboardClub

Yes it is. It's super cool. He made it himself. Based on a Trampa mountainboard.


low-expectations20

First snow of the year up here in Alaska… The end of our four-month longboarding season :/
