Chase Jones, 19, started longboarding six years ago and talked about why he loves it.
Longboarding is very similar to skateboarding; the difference is that longboarding is meant for longer distances downhill. Longboarders typically travel at an average speed of 35-45 mph.
“I fell in love with long boarding the moment I tried it,” said Jones. “Although it is a little pricey, the experience is well worth the money.”
Jones initially spent $150 on his first longboard set-up. Because he enjoyed it so much, he spent another $300 on a new set-up and an additional $150 on a deck.
