The Origins.

Three and a half months a go me and my friend will came together and formed NYC Longboarding, our goal was to get sponsored by Original Skateboards, we filmed videos, made our own designs for tee shirts tee-shirts, but after a month of waiting to hear back comments, or letters about our sponsor video, we lost hope. But we did see hope in something else, we were spreading push culture through NYC, hense the name "NYC Longboarding." I myself like to longboard because it is the closest i have to surfing, and being in the water, I like to take surf style, and put it in my longboarding. My friend Will wanted a longboard, and sure enough two days after he got one, it came naturally to him. We are not unpopular kids, but people find it funny and weird that we longboard "you only longboard because you can't skate." Some of this statement is true, I am not incredible on a skateboard, but that is not the reason longboard. I longboard because it is fun and relaxing, and once again, the closest thing I have to surfing. Fast forward  two and a half months, we just came out with our fifth video, and it is our best one yet, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GrEPczOu_U. A week later I came across Bustin Boards, it was not the first time I had heard about them, but it was the first time I took full interest. I do only ride Original Skateboards, and it was not the boards that intrigued me about Bustin,It was their idea, their mentality. They to were just a bunch of chill guys who liked to longboard as well. Orignal skateboards had inspired me, but Bustin had intrigued me. A few days ago I was reading through the bustin blog, and I realized that they were doing the same thing, spreading push culture through NYC, of course they were doing a better job, because they had been doing it for years, but we had the same idea. Anyways, the reason I am writing this is because I wanted to say thanks to the people at bustin, and thanks for spreading, and helping me and the crew spread Push Culture throughout NYC.
