Zak Maytum, 19, competing at the Festival of Speed this month, is a champion downhill and slalom skater on his longboard.
GOLDENDALE, Wash. — Here in the high desert east of the Cascades, where towering windmills quietly whir overhead, skaters hurtle downhill along a ribbon of blacktop six at a time wearing helmets and motorcycle leathers, hay bales stacked along switchbacks for the inevitable wipeouts.
But in the garment district in Manhattan, it is a slightly tamer story. One day in the spring, Todd Brunengraber stepped from his office on West 39th Street. Hearing a distinct hum from newly repaved Seventh Avenue, he turned and watched a commuter on a supersize skateboard whiz by.
The board was similar to the type he built in woodshop while growing up, but with big, candy-colored wheels. Soon, Brunengraber, a 62-year-old grandfather who had not set foot on a board in more than 25 years, spent $50 for a lesson and joined a growing legion of longboarders.
This summer, he has been pushing to and from Penn Station, and each night after work cruising a hill on his Bay Shore, N.Y., street.
“It’s a rush to get on it,” he said. |

Board Sport & Safety Day Camps For The Youth of Our Community
The Colabo School of Riding has been established for the purpose of mentoring the youth of our communities in a safe and fun environment through educational riding. The focus of our program is to teach kids how to ride on any and all boarding sports. With the primary focus being on longboarding, our students will experience fun-filled days going to local skate parks, to downhill skate hills for both beginner & advanced riders, and to our best beaches for Wakeboarding and other related beach events.
Mentoring the Youth Safely Through Educational Riding
The Sport of Longboarding is growing at exponential rates, about 30% per year for the past 3 years. Young riders in the sport often want to walk before they crawl after seeing how Colabo's Team Riders do it on the big screen. The next logical step of our ever-growing community is to educate the youth on how to ride in a safe & responsible way while respecting the communities where we congregate. |
