Thanks for setting up longboarding on Lemmy! I thought it would be nice to make a thread about LDP (long distance pushing/pumping) and I thought I’d post a few links for anyone interested in the idea of travelling long distances on their board.
Please feel free to add more links in the replies, it’s quite a niche type of skating so there’s not loads of content out there, but once you start looking there’s some good stuff!
