With little of the spastic movement of skateboarding, longboarding is sometimes said to resemble surfing on concrete, which is a good way of describing the agility, grace, and flow of the sport. Watching a good longboarder is mesmerizing and surprisingly relaxing.
For a moment of zen, check out this video of Kyle Chin longboarding down a long, winding road in the mountains. The video was shot in an undisclosed location.
