Yeah it is, my friend Parker has a $200 longboard... Once I got the hang of things it was pretty damn fun, I might grab one to use to get around campus haha
ive got a $200 board too haha. i dont ride it enough though. i mostly cruise as of now but its not a longboard or has the right wheels for it. ;p
weather here sucks too, and the warm inside is nice.
BUT i have the biggest outdoor skatepark of europe a few blocks away so no room for me to bitch
