In the spirit of promoting inclusiveness, mental health, creativity, and fun in the face of COVID-19, Skate IDSA(International Distance and Supercross Association) is hosting a virtual scavenger hunt event accessible to anyone in the world with a smartphone and a skateboard! The Great Longboard GooseChase, Vol. 1 begins Friday, December 18, 2020 and runs through Monday, January 18.
Using the mobile app GooseChase, participants will connect with each other in virtual teams to tackle challenges that can be completed almost anywhere and while observing social distancing. Prizes will be awarded to top points finishers, and a portion of fundraising proceeds driven by both participants and sponsors will be donated to the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation.
The organizers strive to show that even in one of the most unprecedented times in history, it’s still possible to grow a community, make new friends, and support each other.
About Skate IDSA – founded in 2011 as the official governing body for long distance skateboard racing, it has evolved into a platform that supports organized events that help promote and provide a platform to longboarding. The mission of SkateIDSA as a 501 C(3) non profit organization, is to showcase Longboarding as a viable source of alternative transportation through competitive and educational events on paved roads, tracks, parking garages, and pumptracks/skateparks. SkateIDSA also provides a larger voice to independent longboarders trying to showcase legitimacy to their municipal leaders worldwide. For media inquiries, please contact [email protected] or visit www.theidsa.org

- Complete posted challenges to get as many points as you can.
- Fabulous prizes for top finishers and raffle entry for hitting a TBD point total.
- You can compete on your own or in a team of up to 4 people, prizes for each category.

Another mission for the “Great Longboard Goose Chase” challenge: Pets on boards, no more, no less. Unfortunately I don’t have a pet, but I have a plush bunny that can skate #longboardgoosechase
Needed to do some maintenance on the winter setup and decided to tick off the Mazzone challenge for the Longboard Goose chase. Long distance setups contain way too many parts.

Tough 110km today, temperatures around freezing in the morning and a lot of water on the road the rest of the day. Luckily some sunshine as well!

I always thought this guy would make a solid skateboard graphic so I slapped him on my longboard design for pantheonlongboards mission at The Great Longboard Goose Chase. It's a superfun global skate event to create awareness for mental health issues (created by the folks at ldpcast ). My board design is a simple single kick for us older dudes who still like to skate hills despite the aching knees and poor shape😂 #longboarding #illustration #skateartwork #skateboardgraphics #longboardldp #longboardgoosechase

If you wonder why I dressed up like this here. It is the Kazakh cultural costume that I got from my Kazakh friends during my last visit 6 years ago. I was born in Kazakhstan and emigrated to Germany 13 years old. Although I am not a Kazakh, I feel very connected to this country and I love the people and their nature-loving and hospitable culture.
When the longboardgirlscrew called out the Local Vintage challenge on the Great Longboard Goosechase the idea to use this costume came immediately. Thanks to my girlfriend lin.dancing for filming and pushing me to do it!
At this point I would also like to greet all my Kazakh friends and all the friends and family who share with me the same origin very warmly. I miss you and I‘m looking forward to the time we can embrace each other again. ❤️🇵🇼

Addiction sucks. Mental health is important.
You don’t have to go it alone. Skateboarding is awesome.
Presenting: The Great Longboard Goosechase, Volume 1.
We are proud to be part of a first of its kind virtual scavenger hunt initiated by theidsa. With challenges from virtually every discipline of soft wheel skateboarding, we believe that this event will be one to remember. All you need to participate is a skateboard and an android/apple smartphone. The competition is free to enter but this will be no easy cruise. With more than 20 skate brands taking part and fabulous prizes from each of them, there has never been a longboard event quite like this before.
This challenge aims to bring us all together while starting a tough conversation about mental health and addiction in our community. We want to show that even in one of the most unprecedented times in our history it’s still possible to grow a community, make new friends, and support each other.

Weird world we live in these days. I think it’s funny, I’ve been social distancing myself from people before it was popular lmao! Anyway, this photo was taken in key west a few days after I skated over 100 miles at ultra skate 2020, which had the worst weather of them all. But still, a great experience to say the least... 🌴 🥥 My first ultra skate was in 2013. So I guess this means in 2021 it would have been my 9th ultra skate. That is, if I didn’t shatter my knee on October 9th 2016, which made me miss 2017 ultra skate... you know what they say, everything happens for a reason. Pain is what was needed to push me to the next level and for that I am thankful 🙏🏼
I would also like to let you know that my helmet has saved my life twice. I was in a hit in run about 5 years ago, a car ran into me while I was skating the bike lane. I still had concussion symptoms for 3 days even tho I had my helmet on.
