Longboarding Lesson 2026 - Video 1

Many of his students are very new to skateboarding and have come to him realizing it is easier to learn how to skateboard on a longboard. His lessons provide all the gear you need including a longboard, knee and elbow pads, and slide gloves. So new students don’t have to invest in their own gear before taking a lesson or seeing if they want to pursue longboarding.

Service: We specialize in teaching the safety and skills needed to become a successful rider with longboarding and skateboarding lessons and the classes instructed by Eastside Longboards owner Robin McGuirk.   He has officially taught hundreds of longboarders and skateboarders since 2010.  And has coached many more riders prior at Mt.Tabor Park, Maryhill, and other well known longboarding locations going back to 2003 when he started making longboard skateboards.   He has found that many beginners learn to skateboard easier on a longboard or skateboard with soft wheels.  Soft wheels glide easier with less pushing and safer to ride when new to skateboarding by going over sidewalks and rough pavement smoother.  With less time spent pushing and more time with both feet on the board, learning to skate comes faster and it’s also more fun!

The Return of the Mach 3

The Mach 3 was originally released in 2013 during the beginning of the “Skate Everything” era in longboarding. This single kick design has been our specialty since our beginning with our first model The Tabor. The Mach 3 is a bigger beefier version of the Tabor with a whole lot more features aimed at being a versatile downhill freeride board. It can handle both speed and maneuverability with some very cool “Next Level” features provided by the mold and the shaping.

Eastside Mach 3 with Coarse Griptape featuring the Kicktail and “Gas Pedal” edges.

The Mach 3 has a deep radial concave with a touch of belly rocker and a super sweet fish tail shape tail. Carefully placed gas-pedals edges are set for the back foot to leverage with a smaller to medium stance. And the scoop side of the kick tail is another leverage spot for digging in with the back foot during a wider stance. That foot lock into the side of the tail makes all the difference for easier stand up slides. The solid kick-tail is very useful for dropping of curbs, getting over cracks, and off kicker ramps. And so much fun when freeriding downhills, slashing driveways, and on any type of banked terrain.

Eastside Mach 3 with Caliber Trucks and H20 Rain Wheels.

Like all our boards these are made in small batches and limited. Get one direct from us at our Product Page below or at our Online Retailers Daddies Board Shop and Muir Skate. Have fun skate safe!
