"My favorite point
at the end of the ride was around 109 miles in when I passed
a group of young male teens on the trail. They were hanging
out leaning against a building looking at me- here I was a slow,
pitiful-pumping, exhausted looking guy ... trying my damndest
to go a measly 7 miles an hour. Putting my head down as I skated
past, I expected the worst kind of criticism. Instead I got
four waves and a "Hey, nice longboard!" After that,
I felt great and finished the ride strong with my head held
high."

Seattle to
Portland
204 miles,
23.5 hours
We managed the
weekend on very little sleep, brand new miles and miles of chipsealed
roads, 95 degree temps, and Barefoot Ted conquered the hills
with grace. This was my third STP and hands down the best vibe
coming through the finish, feeling strong and realizing we want
another one of these sooner!
Thank you Dave
and Holly Nottingham for taking this shot of us!

Longboard Commuting
with purpose and buzz
"(The commute was) totally
unexpected and euphoric... The kind of ride that leaves you
buzzing — a morning shot of endorphins instead of caffeine."
- James Peters
"Living in the city, you
just don't really need a car so why make your life cost more
than it needs to? It just ties up your freedom... My board takes
me everywhere." - Sheldon Lessard
