The Adrenalina Skate Marathons & The LDP Demigods

History of the Adrenalina longboard / skateboard marathon series in 2011 and some of the other biggest races in the history of longboarding while it was at its peak, where there were $30,000 prize purses and some ungodly fast skaters such as Paul Kent, Kiefer Dixon, and Jeff Vyain.
In my opinion, 1:30 is the bar to beat.

As a mother of a longboarder, thanks Adam. Your chronicles are interesting, engaging, knowledgeable, well-written, complimentary in highlighting individual strengths, and all-around fantastic!

[@BlueridgeLongboardProject]

Thank you! That's very thoughtful of you, glad to hear it!

As a super-casul commuter/cruiser i did not know how Pantheon started, but found that nugget fascinating (Ember v1 still going!). Dipped into LDP after seeing the ultraskate documentary, but then moved somewhere very hilly, and downhill is way more popular here. Just dusted off the GBomb, so this and your other videos have been aspirational.

I miss this era. I participated in the first Adrenalina marathon in 2010 and Jeff wasn't an unknown at the time. He was already skating with the Bustin guys and had made a name for himself. I remember him and Solomon Lang lapping me. But at least I finished 2hrs 10min. My legs were dead after 26 miles, good thing they had free pollo tropical after.

Can't believe I'm just now watching this video. What a great documentary, thanks for making this Adam.

Great job! Thanks for chronicling this important era in distance skateboarding history. Adrenalina Plano was my first competition. It was a sad effort, but watching these athletes and rubbing elbows with the fastest skaters on the planet really lit the fire for me!
PS: there’s an embarrassing but cool shot of Paul Kent lapping me in that Plano race at 13:58.

[@PaulKentSkates]

The only sad effort is wanting to do something but making no effort to do it. You showed up, and you went on to cover impressive distances. Miss you Jude!

[@MichaelB-gi4lt]

Wow…does this ever bring back memories 😮 Fantastic job. Great to see the analysis of the set ups. Best wishes from Toronto

[@Zigsquiddly]

That was great! 😊 I only got into the LDP push scene after it was all over, so it was really cool to learn about the legacy of this event. Well edited, and good job finding all of that old footage

Some of this footage I didn't even know existed lol. Good stuff man, very insightful storytelling. We can definitely push the envelope some more.

[@DS_baixadasantista]

Great... Amazing Documentary... 👏👏👏

[@Barnes1111]

So happy to know Paul and see just a piece of this history happen. Thanks for this awesome video!

[@oliverjackson5070]

Man, this video just teleported me back to a better time of Dancing & Distance. The best DnD xD
Love that you're honouring this vein of LDP in your attempts to progress it.

[@skate-horizons]

Truly a great Video!
It gives me as a relatively new Skater a great perspective on history and performance of the golden age of longboarding.
Please continue making these great Videos!

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

I got to know about Adrenalina when I had an oppurtunity to talk to Mr. Alexandre Bangnoi. Man, I wonder how did you get the rights to use those footages to form this wonderful narrative !!! Awesome Video 🙂

[@ogokforever]

Great video! Just starting longboarding a year a go on a pranayama. Put on some wedges and learn to pump on it. Good work out while having fun on it!

[@johnnorris1457]

Well done! Very much enjoyed the history and also the industry level perspective.

[@clintmclaughlin2152]

Stellar. Thanks Adam.

[@tyyao2000]

Amazing storytelling🎉

[@michaelharlowe2918]

Thanks for the great video!

[@breadcrumbtrail]

Amazing, thanks!

[@jacobmullins8280]

Mannn I’m only up to 10 hours of steady state a week on my board. Kent was doing 30 that’s insane. The 15 mph wall is real tho. I’m stuck on it rn. That’s inhuman

[@skating.in.circles]

Another great video! Thank you for doing this

[@leiliu7887]

thank you for the inspiring video. I do not fully understand the essential parts of push power: the height of board, size of wheel, flex of board or the push geature? thanks again

[@ruhtraeel]

I miss Adam Colton
