GohanTheHusky Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Today I bought my longboard and got to film my husky pull me for the first time. It is super fun. And he gets a good exercise out of it. Definitely will be doing more of that! Except for the part where I almost fell off because of how fast I was going. Pulls super hard, strong dog. Haha Picture was obviously moving but it goes to show how fast I was moving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 My Son is a Longboarder ( I'm an ex-Skater from the 80's myself) So i Know how much fun skating is and I don't want to rain on your parade but. . . . Huskies and Skating of any kind is a recipe for disaster. You know how esay it is for a simple stone to stop your board dead. You then hug the tarmac at great speed. If you're being pulled by your dawg one of two things will happen You'll get dragged along the road or you'll let go of the lead and chasing any husky is not easy and not fun especially as you may also be injured at this point. and if a stone doesn't throw you off your board a Huskies tendency to sod off in random directions will do that for you too. Please, please take my advice, if you want to be pulled by your Husky get a proper bikejoring Kit or an under the saddle mounting kit both for mountain bikes Or invest in a proper rig, and do it safely.

Thanks for the advice. Never thought of that. When I use to skateboard it'd happen to me but very rarely. But you are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
