Kaj je longboard? ….hmmmmmmmmmmm….”Any extra size surfboard or skateboard.” Kok je “ekstra size” bi se dal debatirat… Za prijatelja Jerneja, surferja na valovih, je longboard vse kar je nad 7′00″ (dolžina surfboarda), meni, pa longboard (oz.longskate) pomeni široko cesto z ravno pravim naklonom in pa neskončen občutek svobode, ko se spustim s svojo 47.75″ dolgo rolko….
longboard = longskate = “dolga rolka” = “dolka” (prevoda sta predloga slavistu) 
Torej, se enkrat, zakaj gre? Gre za malo daljšo rolko oz. “deščico s koleščki” (SSKJ) na kateri stojimo z eno nogo z drugo se poganjamo. Med vožnjo imamo obe nogi na “deščici” in smo obrnjeni prečno na smer gibanja.
…and then, you start to dance….
Slovenski “downhill longskating” je rojen! Primeren za staro in mlado vseh generacij. Ne glede na spol, starost, vero, raso, nacionalno, politično ali kakršnokoli drugo ideološko prepričanje je ta športna rekreacija primerna za slehernega SI uporabnika. Borderji in surferji bodo v tem našli trening, otroci bodo spet na luftu, mamice in atiji pa bodo pršparal na bencinu, saj bo že najbližji klanec lahko kvalitetno preživet nedeljski izlet.
“Longboarding is not about sponsorships, contracts or stopwatches; your sponsor is the road, and the only contract you sign is with yourself. It’s about simplicity. Longboarding transforms a trip to the grocery store from a monotonous annoyance into an adventure. It’s about remembering that there’s more to life than money and schedules as you feel gravity locking your feet into the board on a tight carve. It’s about having more fun walking up the hill with friends than carving down by yourself. Longboarding is more than a fancy piece of wood with wheels on it; it’s an attitude. It’s about enjoying a ride on broken pavement 400 miles from the nearest ocean just as much as a perfect barrel ride in ten foot surf. Don’t just ride; enjoy the ride!” (C.R.)
Longboarding je šport, je rekreacija, je razvedrilo, je zabava, je industrija in je filozofija, longboard je način življenja…
