n1 camelo!
i got this 1:
so you're saying a pro snowboarder skateboarder wouldn't be able to ride better on it than someone who hasn't touched a board in his whole life?
if someone got kind of a board-feeling, of course he'd be better.
but basically a "short" skateboard is designed to do tricks, whilst you cover distances or just cruise around with a longboard. you can do the other way round, but then it's either f@#!ing hard (like the stuff in the video above) or no fun at all.
there are some similarities, but too much difference to really put them on the same level.
would be like comparing a bmx with a racing cycle.
