  I dunno if this outta pocket for me. But I wanted to make a thread to better know the dancers/freestylers:

  INTRODUCE YOURSELF THREAD: (feel free to answer whatever, the below are suggestions)

  What's your name, where u from, social media:

  How long you've been skating, and or skating dance/fs:

  Dance style or type of music u listen to: 

  Fav trick/dance combo/steps:

  Or anything else that I didn't think of :) (like favorite setup, a photo, whatever)

  ------------------------------------------------------------------

  Ex:

  Hi! I'm Justin Chang, I'm the current dance/freestyle director of the Purdue Longboarding Club, and I've been skating for 4 years, dance/FS for 3. You can find me on justinschenchang (insta) where I barely post. I like extremely quick steps since I like listening to j-pop/rock, and phonk. My fav trick so far is probably 360 nollie shuv, because it's the only flashy trick I know :(. I consider myself a big fan of the longboard dance community, and wish to get myself more involved and good enough to go to SYCLD one day.

  Hi, I'm Raphael,

  new to this forum, although not new to the wrongboarding lifestyle.

  (I think we should have a general Introduction thread, not exclusively Dancing/Freestyle, maybe we should add/pin it to the General channel...)

  Anyways let's go (changed it a bit):

  What's your name, where u from, social media:

  • Raphael
  • Germany
  • @raphael.heckmeck on insta but rarely posting, check out my homies @teamheckmeck
  • formerly aka boardwrecka in the fish, gnarwheels and longboardz forum

  How long you've been skating:

  Had my first toy skateboard as a kid, then started getting into longboarding in my teens 13years ago. Got into dancing and DH/freeriding 1 year after starting, and then picked up a bit of slalom and LDP a few years later as well.

  Skate style:

  Everything. If it is a board with wheels, I try it. If it doesn't have wheels, I still try it. So freeride, techslide, dancing, slalom, street, snowboarding, surfing, wakeboarding, freeskates...

  Fav trick/dance combo/steps:

  Don't care but the weirder, the better

  Or anything else that I didn't think of :) (like favorite setup, a photo, whatever)

  Been through a lot of setups but things that I keep coming back to:

  • 120cm/47" dancers
  • Single kick freeride setups with 55cm/22" WB 
  • 35" Double kicks with 16-17" WB
  • Riding a LY Evo every now and then.
