frontside360 longboarding podcast: Recent Episodes
Bob Loftin
It's been 11 months of hardship and bullshit, but WE ARE BACK!
We talk about longboarding freestyle, what we've been up to, David's participation in the World Freestyle Roundup, or is it he Freestyle World Roundup? Whatever. And we talk about longboarding again, and plan a video project. Let's do this!
Also we are simply using our libsyn page as our site now. To contact us, email us at FS360Pod@gmail.com
In this episode David and Bob catch up after months of not recording a podcast. The topic is mostly freestyle. We talked about wheelies, flow, boards, wheels, and some great skaters.

In this episode, David and Bob talk about ditch skating on longboards, Bob talks about his GREATEST VICTORY, and then we get back to longboards in ditchs. A fun talk. Here's the Turkeybowl footage we talked about:

In our 3rd episode, we talk about David's efforts to do flatland freestyle (in the more traditional sense) on a 40" board, and talk about the challenges of doing that, and some strategies for adapting your longboard skating to that discipline -- all inspired by the great Chris Chaput, who used 40"+ longboards in his freestyle routines in the 1970s.
Next episode - ditch skating.

In this episode David compares traditional flatland freestyle with longboard dancing, and we talk about this video from our blog (you might want to skip the first couple of minutes). Bob remembers the early videos of Adam Colton and boards of Longboard Larry!
The first episode, hastily thrown together, with no proper intro, but here we are. A quick introduction to our little site, podcast, and, errr...whatever.
