Scott Barger’s need for speed began 10 years ago. He has since got­ten involved in both skate­board­ing and long­board­ing through­out the years.

Barger, an FSU junior in busi­ness admin­is­tra­tion, said one rea­son it’s become pop­u­lar in the last two years is because it’s fun, eas­ier and more con­ve­nient, while being a quick means of trans­porta­tion.
