OC Action Mile 1000? 👀
I got my first board ever around July 2025. I used it to skate to classes, but never really skated for more than a mile or two at a time. In march of 2026, I first discovered the sport of LDP, and was hooked ever since! I researched everything I could, found local and not so local ldp events, and reached out to some amazing people in the LDP community.
I was super bummed that a large portion of the Atlanta longboarding scene has died out, so I set out on a mission to collect as many local boarders as I could to meet up and cruise around! There are only a couple of skaters I consistently meet up with, but I’m super grateful for this niche, but amazing community.
With that being said. I’m coming up on a milestone that I’m super proud of. One that has not come without blood, sweat, and tears. I’m hoping to celebrate my 1000th mile milestone this Sunday at an open streets event! It’s truly been an amazing ride, and I can’t wait for the 10,000 more miles to come!

Nope. For ldp, a lot of riders like to use really big wheels (85-100mm) because they roll over much rougher terrain and they conserve momentum a lot better than smaller wheels. This makes huge wheels super efficient if you’re just pushing straight ahead nonstop!
