Pumping Longboard Characteristics
A pumping longboard is a great type of longboard for cruising and commuting. A rider can pump on any longboard, but pumping will be more effective with a board that is made with a material that has some flex and will bounce.

Temecula Skatepark | Ronald Reagan Sports Park
The Temecula Skatepark is very large with a pretty unique and open layout. I found that the most unique feature of the Temecula Skatepark had to be that it features a really large cement hill inside of the skatepark. And from a longboarders perspective the large size of the skatepark, the cement hill and a bowl plus it being located right next to the Temecula pump track made this combination a cement surfer's paradise!

Longboarding the Wetlands Loop Trail
Some people hit the jackpot on the strip in Las Vegas but we hit the jackpot by finding a lot of fun things to do off the strip in the Las Vegas area! In fact, this area has some great scenery nearby as well as exciting hikes and even hot springs. We also enjoyed the skate parks and the pump track in the area. But as far as longboarding goes, the Wetlands Loop Trail is amazing! Not just by things to do in the Las Vegas area standards but from all of our longboarding adventures this one was a lot of fun!

Trinidad Skatepark – Dream Skatepark in Colorado with Amazing Vert
Trinidad Skatepark is an amazing skatepark in the southeastern corner of Colorado. This skatepark seems so far from the rest of the Colorado skate scene, but don't let that deter you. This is definitely one of the best skateparks in Colorado. Heck, I'd say this is among the best skateparks in the country! I had a blast cement surfing this entire skatepark with my longboard.

Our travels through Colorado led us the 23,000 square foot concrete Pueblo Skatepark inside the larger El Centro del Quinto Sol park. The skatepark was built in 2016 by Team Pain skateparks with a unique layout that has multiple different sections spread out around the park. This is a large skatepark that is good for riders of any skill level. Plus, both street and vert skaters will enjoy this skatepark. While on my longboard I was able to find some some good flow in every corner of the skatepark
