Streetluging

Streetluging is a type of street skating that uses steep downhills as a thrill ride. Streetluge enthusiasts usually employ a longer skateboard for greater speed gained by being able to lie down to reduce wind resistance. Since streetluging is extremely dangerous, only a closed course should be used.

And because every town has miles of streets, street skateboarding is a dominant form of the sport with millions of skateboarders across the country.
