Jake Tracy ’18 has started an unofficial longboarding club at the College. The club is open to anyone interested in longboarding and is a way to meet other longboarders on campus.
The club meets in front of Roberts Hall on Sunday nights, as Tracy believes that there are far less cars on the road on Sunday nights than any other nights. A typical Sunday night consists of scouting out hills, bombing said hills, and exploring the Lake Forest area.
“Mingling with all the other longboarders” is sophomore Zach Augustyn’s favorite part of the Longboarding Club. “You do not even need a longboard to join,” he said. “Heck, I don’t even use a longboard. You just need something with wheels on it and isn’t fueled with gas.”
While the club meets Sunday nights, students can also find other times to skate with each other. Search for the “Lake Forest Longboarding Club” on Facebook and join the group. Anyone can post times they are skating so that others can join them.
This club does not receive Student Government funds.
