Downhill, freeride, longboard dancing, <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/LDP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LDP</span></a> (long distance pushing or pumping), <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/SUP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SUP</span></a> (standup paddleboard). <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Fingerboarding" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Fingerboarding</span></a> of course.
