How to Longboard! Beginner basics: Pushing, Stopping, Carving/Turning

In this video I cover some of the basic principles of longboarding. I focus on how to stand on your board, pushing, stopping, balance, carving, and turning. Update: At one point I talk about "mongo" stance but I accidentally say "mongrel" .. the word is slang to begin with but I slung it more.. so I think could be right either way but mongo is more correct. Supposedly it comes from someone callin someone a "mongoloid" for their ass-backwards style of pushing.. On a side note, every skater everywhere, as a rite of passage, needs to watch the movie Lords of Dogtown as well as the documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys. Good luck and happy shredding
