Northwest Longboarding

Northwestlongboarding.com is an online community that provides a forum to the skaters of the Northwestern corner of the United States. Here they are able to discuss events, places to skate, share ideas, pictures and more while meeting new people to ride with.

Shane Donogh founded Northwestlongboarding.com with his wife Jenn. Shane’s family history of involvement in “extreme sports” has gotten him where he is today. His great grandfather was a pioneer in hydro plane racing, his grandfather and dad raced in downhill skiing while his mother was responsible for getting the family into dirt biking, which Shane raced when he was young. Shane got his first longboard for Christmas in high school and found himself in the emergency room hours later. That hasn’t stopped him from bombing hills, but he has since then become an advocate of safe riding practices. Shane is super personable and breathes longboarding. Contact him for questions regarding the website, event requests, questions or to go riding.

At Northwestlongboarding.com, we value small business over corporatism and above all, Northwest vendors. We also value customer service. As the provider of a means of discussion, our goal is to facilitate the needs of those that use our service and therefore we are open to suggestions, criticisms and compliments.

Our mission is to grow and sustain the Northwest longboarding community. We will do this while raising awareness for issues pertaining to the sport such as in safety, preserving places to skate, and innovation. We will also provide events or sponsor those put on by others to challenge and further the sport as it is today in the Northwest. Ultimately the Internet is a great place to meet and socialize, but nothing beats actually riding with people so post where you’re going, meet up and skate, then report back… we’ll see you out there.
