Longboarding the new fad...in the Philippines
For some reason I've been hearing about longboarding/downhill skating in the Philippines a bit over the past couple of weeks. And now I see this:
The rush: Nicole, Denise and Migo share their love for longboarding
There's a bit of a scene in Malaysia and New Zealand, so now we need Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, China and India on board. Would be cool to have an Asian racing series that rivalled the European and American races.

I wouldn't say there's a huge scene in Malaysia, as the only DH scene has been me and the few guys that I've taught to street luge. Right now we're looking on banking on the scene in the Philippines to help the rest of us Asians get to that level where we have plenty of riders.

i've been talking with Carlos http://whiskeyhill.multiply.com/ and Nicole about getting boards and safety gear over there and sponsoring Nicole she won the last downhill race, still very raw not many in leathers yet. A good start in getting downhill and longboarding into to Asia potentially a huge force if we can help get it going. Shanghai has the biggest skatepark in the world so the momentums gathering.
