I learned how to skateboard on a longboard... but it definitely did not look anything like what is going on here.
Looking as if they were built in Satan's garage just after he had a beer and cooked up a plan to conquer the world, these longboards by Corbus are definitely cool, but are not exactly in congruence with the laid-back lifestyle of the longboarder. I guess, maybe, they go along with the skater mentality of always pushing the envelope?
But a longboard?!
I'll get used to it, I promise. Check out more on the longboards by Corbus above.
