Longkate has many tricks and dance steps that are different from skateboarding. In longboarding, there is no need to jump at all: although there are tricks inspired by the old schooltyle (skate tricks from before 1990 - 2000), we also do many dance steps as we can in surfing.
The difficulty is of course not to eat the ground! A good helmet and knee pads will usually do the trick. Sometimes a pair of gloves can be useful to avoid shredding your fingers too much. In any case, your success depends on your motivation! So take this book, your board and get on the pavement!
