who we are
We are a dedicated team of long boarders from Brighton Sussex. We are continuously searching for better rides and to improve our long boarding skills.
We are particularly looking for long smooth rides on concrete and gentle carving slopes.
We also experiment making our own boards out of ply, trying out different cool shapes and lengths. We also really enjoy making stencils for each different board.
We also ride a few pro boards too
We would also like to hear your ideas on cool places to skate to help us find new runs to improve our art.
Keep on truckin’

This is a stencil we made onto watercolour paper- if you’d like one get in touch and we can send you one in exchange for a few quid
The Best Places To Skate
Palmiera square- one of our best rides so far gives a long smooth ride, from the floral clock down to the sea. Gets pretty fast towards the end.
The Drive – ok it’s in the cycle lane so watch out for cyclists but it’s never that busy. Really long gentle ride from the top of Davigdor Rd. Make sure you stop at the lights at Church Rd!
Brighton sea front in front of the Metropole Hotel. The ramp leading down to the esplanade above Brighton Sailing Club – Its pretty fast down to the new flat tarmac they have put down now the old pool has gone. But a nice flat ride once you’re down. Really busy at weekends.
Making Longboards
First you need a plank of plywood. Then you need to draw a picture of how you would like your board. Then you need to cut it out with a jigsaw. And then you have to sand the edge of the board. Once you have done that you need to sand and varnish it once. Then you make or buy stencils of anything and you can do it on the front of the board. Then you varnish three more times. Once you have done that you can buy 2 pairs of trucks and wheels. Then you can put some see through or normal grip tape over it. Then whoow! you have FINISHED. Hope you have good time.
