    / simplelongboards
    This video tries to show you some of the basics steps used in longboard dancing. It starts at the absolute basic level and works a little bit up to some more advanced steps. But still, almost everything is based on the simple cross-step. No fancy board manipulation or technical wizardry. Just walking on the board.
    I hope you will use this as a guide and as an inspiration to go dancing. It's really not that hard!
    Board: Simple Platypus, Randal 180's, Orangatang 86a Stimulus

    Been longboarding for two years, found this video and decided to try something new - By now I've learned the cross-steps (both) and the sex change. It's tough and you'll lose your balance sometimes but this video has helped me an enormous amount. Good luck, future dancers!

    So I ripped this video onto my phone - found a fresh built carpark in Wells, Somerset, England and bought a longboard. Your flow has pushed me in the space of 3, 6 hour days of riding back and forward to push myself to learn smooth cross steps, 180 steps (both step forward step back and step around..like a 360) and I'm on the Peter Pan tomorrow. Thanks man, keep up the good work!
