I set this site up to help those interested in getting into longboarding or e-boarding (especially the youthful older ones like me, who may not have skateboarded for a long time :->) and to highlight some of the less well-known small time longboard makers, including many Europeans, who are making this sport and pastime a real joy right now.
I have tried to capture all the various things I have learned from skateboarding and longboarding, push and electric, to help anyone else looking to take it up first time or come back to it – it is a lot of fun.
There is no commercial intent behind this site; this is just me rambling on and trying to help others (plus, I guess, a bit of vanity). I make no money from the site (my day job is as a founder and owner of a small tech company) and I pay for everything with my own hard-earned money; but I do get to test a lot, which is an cool upside. I have no sponsorships (not looking for it) nor am I an affiliate for anyone (not looking for that) and there is no advertising on the site (not looking for that either).
Finally, I don’t retain any of your data other than what WordPress guesses where roughly in the world (country) you are reading from – because it is interesting. I have a data privacy policy, but it short because I don’t use or hold any of your personal data – read away; and if I can help and promote, great.
