i'm a expert in the long board caper and this is the way i see it.
most wanting to cross step and nose ride can't turn a board.
generally girls are way better at the cross stepping and nose rider gig. why i saw a hot blond chic casually hang five this afternoon. no cheater stuff either. she was right up there and looked class.they have the movement and grace to make it look natural and a art form
most guys look like their doing their first aerobic class when they try it- un co's
so i say get your sh!t together and turn your board like a man and leave the ballet to the girls
amen
