Last Sunday many people flocked to the small alpine town of Annecy, France. For the most part it was for the 16th annual edition of the Venetian Carnival but for some it was the prospect of smooth asphalt, breathtaking views and the chance to race along an awesome stretch of bike path next to the lake. For some this race was...
Last weekend saw the second edition of the Paris Push Race…the amazingly warm weather that has been predominant in Europe has helped postpone the end of the season. The 20+ participants, a few kickbikers included made the most of the dry conditions to battle it out for the top places over a 25km (15 mile) course. This event is...
What a year! The last Adrenalina Skateboard Marathon of the World Tour ends with the two racers of the year holding hands across the line to tie 1st place. Paul Kent and Jeffery Vyian have dominated the racing season and split the 1st and second place prize money . More pics and info to come.

Talk to Daniel and I 10 months ago, and we’d tell you doing a long distance longboarding trip was just a dream. Doing something that would impact our community was something that we...

Last weekend saw the 1st Longboard only marathon take place in Amsterdam, Holland: The Rabbit Race. Overall, 21 riders of varying ages got together to compete. As expected, Holland was heavily represented, but there were strong contenders from France and England as well. What the race was lacking in numbers was certainly made up in enthusiasm and good vibes, both from the participants and organisers.
The 2.2km course in itself was in the beautiful tranquil location of Sport Park Slotten and the weather conditions could not have been more perfect. It was for the most part flat, with a steep uphill over a bridge providing a challenging climb followed by a downhill section a little after the starting line.
200 skaters in a push race! Something epic is going on! We would like to thank ABEC 11, Bustin, 187, Onbongo, Vertigem Tattoo, TopSkate, GoDown and M4… It was a great event. We had over 200 riders this year. The gnar was spread!! Push Race vibration… Thank you to all our sponsors and supporters. You all helped us to...
You may think from looking through all the stuff here on skatefurther that we only like BIG trips or push races with BIG money prizes. Far from it. In fact, way back at the beginning this site was all about pushing yourself further than you have been before. Summer adventures on a skateboard are where we all started. Skate...
From the blog of our good friends over at Bustin Boards, a girls only push race being put on by the Longboard Girls Crew of Dominican Republic. Looks like it’s going to be great.
