Longboarding Boston

Original team rider Brian Bishop 360 flips longboarding off the sidewalks into the air and onto the streets of Boston, Mass on his Apex 37. Go Longboard and celebrate the up-coming release of the new Apex 37 with Original.

Old but gold !

[@juicynaru]

Best 50 seconds intro in Longboarding ever. Really chill audio, good imagination and control from Brian. Makes my favorite

[@SuperVValrus]

I love longboarding but I gotta say that I don't get why you would use a longboard for tricks like this when it's easier and more impressive on a skateboard.

[@lookbehindyou7906]

its more impressive on a skateboard, but its EASIER on a skateboard? isnt it when things are harder to do, its more impressive to see someone do? Yeah ik this comment is 4 years old lol

[@michelinii2311]

i have never been interested in skateboarding movies or longboarding, i subscribed and love these vids because of the landscape they are filmed in, the music and the good quality, it all just seems so calming and beutiful :)!

[@chaoticdroidd9916]

Hey original people's I absolutely love your videos and just everything it's awesome I've been longboarding for about 5 years now and you guys are just a huge inspiration to me thank you!

[@originalskateboards]

ChaoticDroidd in that case it sounds like we have to be doing at least something right haha Stoked you are stoked CD, thanks for being a part of it man.

[@nasheegorang9343]

One thing that I love about your videos is that you show a bit about what else goes on in the town. The boarding rocks.

[@originalskateboards]

Hey! Totally, always love meeting fellow shredders. You have my word, I will never stop skating haha. Happy shredding! - Bish

[@bostonbhudda2923]

when you put it like this.... i am proud to live inn this beautiful city.

[@ohheydarciemae1121]

1:10 was awesome! Great filming and editing, Sam! I loved how you showed a bit of scenery before you showed Brian skating. :)

[@EveryMomentHasMusic]

i find all my new favourite music from watching these videos, its awesome x

[@ryleymillett9099]

I knew my city is a great place to ride and do some sick trick.

[@skibbyskib13]

freestyle longboarding at its best...you've gotten those 360 flips down sooo clean.

[@Silentbutdeadly826]

watched this when i was 13. im 23 now i love this video so much!!

[@longboarding21]

Brian Bishop is a sick rider on the sickest board I've ever seen. I wish I had an Apex

[@theexplosivedawg]

Crazy airs man!! You get all the props my body and soul can give! Just wow!

[@originalskateboards]

Yes you can! International shipping takes 5-7 business days to get to you with UPS, and it costs $60 USD. -Lindsay

[@originalskateboards]

Usually riders in areas with smaller hills will slant more toward boards like the Apex as there is a significant amount of riding done at slower speeds (which can utilize the tail / nose more). If its pure high speed freeride, and the terrain is available to take long runs at higher speeds, most of the time you won't see boards with a nose. If you are flying down a 10 mile long hill at 45 mph the last thing you care about is whether you can throw a bigspin half way down : )

[@originalskateboards]

@password2200 That is the 2008 / 2009 Apex with Original S8 trucks and Abec 11 ZigZags. The new version of the Apex (2011) is significantly stiffer with carbon bar reinforcement.

[@originalskateboards]

We still sell, and rock Original trucks! We use them whenever we're carving! But when we're looking to ride at higher speeds and do a bit of freeriding, then we'll use a bushing truck which is more stable.

[@Russell7624]

Brian Bishop changed longboarding forever. Happy Birthday Brian!

[@cow101011]

Great video! I love how he takes the subway at the start and he is driving a car at the end

[@originalskateboards]

Hey, thanks for info but how would you like to use the board? For your size I would suggest either the Pintail 37', or Freeride 38 rocker concave. The Pintail will be the best bet for you if you want chill skate, like carve, cruise and commute. If you want a more advanced board for all around skating that you can learn trick and slides with then go with the Freeride. -Davey

[@originalskateboards]

Hola Callay! You can order from our online store here at Original Skateboards for the cost of the board plus $60USD for shipping (delivery to Spain takes 2 to 5 business days). You can also buy from any of the dealers who stock Original in Spain, we have many in Catalonia and a few in Madrid.

[@originalskateboards]

@JamLambBaby You gotta keep in mind that longboards require high quality craftsmanship along with materials such as wood, fiberglass, ink, resins etc. So the finished product is really a well crafted piece of sports equipment. Think of it like buying a pair of skis or a set of golf clubs. As for a board, tell us your height and weight and we'll help you find the right one!

[@originalskateboards]

@MrJackWaters You should check out either the Pintail 40 or Pintail 43. Both of those are great designs for bombing hills while still having the maneuverability to rip up banks

[@ijoneill07]

Bishop is a bad man definitely one of the best I've seen.

[@longboardlover70]

You guys are the BEST!!! You inspired me to longboard

[@suhaili]

you guys made me miss Boston all over again. sob...

[@originalskateboards]

It sounds like you are looking to do a little bit of everything! I suggest checking out the Apex 40 Diamond Drop for stability during higher speeds, sick concave for sliding, and kicktails and durability for freestyle. As for wheels, I personally like using Abec 11 Flashbacks for sliding. -Lindsay

[@originalskateboards]

@ZeppelinWhoFan19 A great board for you would be the Apex 34. It's light weight and a little bit smaller than the one Brian's using in this video, so it will be a perfect sized board for you! Let us know if you have any other questions

[@originalskateboards]

The Pintail 37 would be a good beginner board for you. It's meant for cruising, carving, smaller hills, and you can learn how to slide with it. If you are also interested in doing some freestyle tricks then check out the Apex 34 double concave for a more versatile board and kicktails. -Lindsay

[@originalskateboards]

Hey Marci! Sounds like you like to do a little bit of everything! I suggest either the Apex 34 double concave, or waiting for the Apex 37 double concave to come out which will be more stable for you on hills. -Lindsay

[@originalskateboards]

The Apex 40 Diamond Drop would be perfect for you! The concave is great for sliding, and it has kicktails which are great for kicks. This board is also very durable and will last you a long time, especially if you add some PK Nose guards to it. -Lindsay

[@TheFlyingskunk]

Good answer! I love original longboards and their teams.

[@MANOinTECHNICOLOUR]

i love how much variety longboarding has, brian bishop youre sick

[@originalskateboards]

Our main location is in Newton, NJ 07860, we dont have an official store but we do love visitors!

[@originalskateboards]

@epicsalmon The guys were just out in Cali for a week or so- home base was around LA and San Diego. They had a blast. -Joel

[@RealDaveTheFreak]

Never thought Longboarding can be so amazing!

[@danaranaran]

in case anyone was wondering, the song is Mall and the Misery by Broken Bells. SUCH a good band

[@nickangus103]

brian you have finally visited my home!!! love you

[@vanessa02261992]

sick video. great song to go along with it as well (two thumbs up)

[@SoCalLongboarders]

Brian Bishop is flat out amazing, no questions asked.

[@dj97records]

awesome videos you guys never let me down

[@originalskateboards]

If you're just starting out, a good beginner board you should look into is the Pintail 40. It is meant for cruising and carving! Check out our Pintail video on our page to see how the pintails ride. -Lindsay

[@originalskateboards]

Hey Hades, Depends on the type of riding you want to do. The stuff you see here is sort of a cross over blend between freeride and freestyle. For that sort of riding and Apex 40 would be killer. It's setup to be super strong for freestyle (tons of reinforcement) which is why its a little more expensive to start. BUT it is actually good value in the long haul (if you do tricks) because crossover freestyle riding is so hard on a deck. For more cruising and carving a Pintail 40 would be great.

[@GoLongboard1021]

bishop u sir are the best longboarder ever in my book

[@marciii411]

Looks badass definitely going to check out and thanks for the suggestion nice to know you guys actually care about your customers =]

[@bo0ti]

still sO glad I subscribed to this channel! thanks for the awesome vids guys!

[@Sk8willyp]

Brian you never disappoint.

[@smithtom888]

one of the best longbaorders ive seen

[@SuperMl10]

another thing i like about orignal is that an actual person responds. LONGBOARDING ROCK ON!!

[@originalskateboards]

Hi Mark! We have quite the selection that you can choose from. What type of riding are you interested in doing? -Lindsay

[@Kadhaver]

Yhea!! men U rock's, I'm a skateboarder from Mex. but there is not usual to see longboarders but is pretty fun I enjoy seen this videos.

[@wililie8]

Broken Bells are an awesome band. Awesome band + awesome longboarding = mint as video!

[@HappyChampignon]

those 360 Flips are amazing!

[@thecompleteopposite1]

Great stuff and great music choice as always.

[@AwesomeMinecraftSauc]

Brian Bishop you inspired me to longboard and i hope you feel really good about yourself. Never quit longboarding. Haters gonna hate now go skate! :D

[@originalskateboards]

Sounds like a Drop Freeride 41 would be pretty dialed for you jackson. You could look at the Apex DiamondDrop if you are going hard at the freestyle game but if not the Drop Freeride will certainly hold up to occasional freestyle (and comes in a little cheaper). While there is no substitute for the insane durability the Apex brings to the table, the Drop Freeride is killer for... freeride. As you might expect.

[@opmfsnipe]

its like you just cant stop getting better and better... YOU ROCK :)

[@hilerc]

Me and my friends skate boston almost everyday in the summer. this shit makes me nostalgic. Can't wait to get back this summer

[@BassPro49]

inspirational as hell. makes me want to skate all day

[@nicscrubs]

that's not just cruising, that's cruising in style!

[@NoahManalac]

My Favorite longboarder in the whole Universe..... Brian Bishop!!!! :D

[@conmanrogster01]

i knew this sounded like the broken bells! finally some talent riding for originals, pretty good video

[@Moses388]

brian bishop is the man. great all around riding!

[@originalskateboards]

Hey, thanks for telling me your height and weight. How would you like to skate or use the board. We have a good amount of board for different styles of riding. If you are looking for a board to carve, cruise and commute on I would suggest the Pintail 37! _Davey

[@Alaskanwi1dman]

I watched like 2 of your videos then went and got a longboard best decision ever

[@originalskateboards]

Hey, that depends on how you want to use your board. For cruising and carving I would suggest the Pintail 43 or 46". For a great all around board, I would suggest the Apex 40 Double concave. The Apex's will be great if you want to get into tricks and slides but still be able to carve and cruise. _Davey

[@camester1]

i saw you guys that when i fort i would be call to get a longboard so i did ! :D Never regreted buying one !

[@joshpage62]

This Video Man... I started Longboarding Off this video, Its so inspirational Thanks Original. for Making my Life 100 times Better By introducing Longboarding In to My life. Stay Awesome -Josh

[@edgefan5ify]

I love boston :) I longboarded while I was there over christmas

[@FlyTedward]

this video is so sick. Brian you're my idol.

[@originalskateboards]

Hey, all longboard wheels can slide. There are wheels made for it and wheels made to grip. For sliding wheels look into something that has rounded lips, this makes them easier to kick/activate slides on. The higher the duro or harder the wheel the less it will slow you down in slides. I do not recommend going very high or hard because you run more of a chance of your wheels slipping out. I tend to stay in between 78a-83a for wheels. _Davey

[@LucasLongLemos]

Brian you rides goofy man, i always see de guys riding regular, but i ride goofy and you are a inspiration for me.. thanks

[@originalskateboards]

Check out our Pintail series. They're great beginner boards and come in four different sizes depending on your height and weight

[@originalskateboards]

No worries man, Pintail 46 would be a great cruiser that will absolutely hold you. For a drop down / freeride deck check out the Drop Freeride 44. Super stiff and won't have trouble with your 267 lbs

[@scotteetu]

loved it don't ever stop long boarding.

[@originalskateboards]

You say wanna skate, we say wanna skate. Longboard. Skateboard.

[@wmerck26]

Steezy Sammy Weezy! Good to see you driving down Westland Ave and not letting your old pal know... See you around town.

[@ZNuMbA1GmR]

brian bishop's my favorite longboarder on their team

[@KostyaRomantikov]

Woooow ! I really like it ! I dream some day to skate the same way but in Moscow ! Thanks a lot for the video !

[@chad773]

I swear Bish just goes HAM everytime he leaves his house.

[@birdhouse000]

Arguably The Best Longboaridng Video On KZbin. In my opinion anyway. Keep Up The Boardin

[@TheEASTMOUNTAIN]

Brian, you are awesome !!

[@veronicalennon8506]

The slow head turn to cut scene kills me to this day lmao

[@snoopyboy101]

WHOOOOOOOOOOO BRIAN BISHOP!!!!! YEAAAHHHHHH BEST LONGBOARDER IN THE WORLD!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[@CurseYou1]

no way.. i was in boston yesterday and i was saying how much i wish i had a longboard.. i recognize some of these places haha

[@orangeking8]

i go longboarding in boston all the time its so much fun

[@ToferOrourke]

@Originalskateboards Just getting into longboarding, I borrowed a friends for a few days and it got me hooked. I can't afford one yet (damn being a college student), but when I can, stuff like this inspires me. I haven't felt anything like just cruising around. Keep it up, hopefully I'll be joining the ranks soon!

[@Julandrius]

Brian reminds me of seann william scott so much, not only looks but also facial expressions :P Seems like a great guy to hang out with haha, and an awesome boarder too.

[@Doubleodude]

I love you video's thanks for posting.

[@adamzonavidios]

Boston is the greatest place on earth. And for longboarding

[@originalskateboards]

@PhilipDemelo It sounds like the 37 would be the better choice for you!

[@Gosox2525]

Damn nice video, you guys do great shots and editing and Brian shreds on an apex

[@christopherdorner925]

I remember back in the early days being able to call Original and ask when the custom 35 would be back in stock and actually getting one of the brothers on the phone. Am I old?

[@TheFlyingskunk]

Okay, That makes sense, most of the videos I have seen lately would lead me to think that, but its awesome to know higher speed riding is still pretty popular. Around where I live I see a lot of apex's.

[@DiRexKolors]

thats one sick 360Flip man!

[@goorackerelite]

oh good god, I'm so glad I moved here! Brian is a monster, and if you're in the neighborhood again, let me know, I'll make you an awesome dinner.

[@micahelcampbel631]

hey brian, i would love to meet you some day, your my favorite longboarder, AND BY THE WAY, never stop riding!!!!

[@630ben630]

Handstand??!! Wow.. That was awesome
