downhill longboard events

Focus and Speed

Downhill longboarding is a form of boarding that takes a lot of skill and focus. When going at speeds of 30, 40, or even up to 70mph on a longboard, you really got to hone in on the moment. The world record for speed currently stands at 80.83 mph and is held by Mischo Erban. Go Mischo, the fastest longborder in the world! That definitely would be a hair-raising scene to witness at downhill longboard events.

For all you longboarders that like to ride the mountains and hills, and for those who like to spectate, we at Whatever Skateboards put together a list of the top downhill longboard events coming up this 2016.
