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.

A handstand, are you kidding? Let’s do a fingertipstand 😂 #longboardgoosechase
The @skatebloodorange challenge “circus act” is just to juggle some wheels but @johannes_albertson just had to show off and earn some bonus points. Well done! #longboardgoosechase
When so much seems out of focus, there’s one thing we must keep in focus. #peoplematter #pushingforimpact #ldpcast #theidsa #longboardgoosechase #mentalhealthawareness #eachmindmatters

So I took an adjustable broomstick and attached a water shoe, which is flexible and has a rubber sole, with some duct tape to it #longboardgoosechase

It’s ALIVE! We present you this “Frankenboard” as stitched together by @niekohletzanakis for this @gbomb_longboards challenge. Can you imagine riding this monster? #longboardgoosechase

I usually end up doing my ghost rides in these combos at a pretty slow speed so I wanted to start with one this time, as well as work my pivots a little extra. I was getting a full 180 fairly consistently today!
The original combo I was trying to do was ghost ride - nollie pivot - 180 step - nollie pivot but I don’t know if it was my body placement, speed, or what but I could not turn my body back around with a 180 step today. After much frustration I switched it to a body varial for my temporary sanity — I’ll definitely go back to trying a 180 step there though.
Also speed tested my carver for the #longboardgoosechase and got up to 21 mph???????? Like the average was consistently around 7 so I assume 21 mph was a lucky combo of momentum and the little decline I was on but STILL I feel very proud of my lil board not designed for speed lol.
Lastly, this fall — I don’t know what happened either. My body decided it didn’t want to step off the board for the ghost ride but then......also refused to do anything else??? Luckily it was right on the meat of my butt and NOT my hip or tailbone bc I would have probably combusted had I landed on my hip.
So this is for sure the best butt boarding we have ever seen. This submission is fir the @loadedboards “dig your grave” challenge. Dang! Please tag this rider and thanks for playing our game. @stine.sweet.16 @niekohletzanakis #longboardgoosechase
I haven’t skated in TOO LONG but I was thrilled that everything didn’t seem totally inaccessible my first day back. Sometimes my cross steps feel like I’m just barely managing so I wanted to do two in a row today to work that muscle memory. It felt pretty good! I still want to get more confidence in bigger carves but I feel like my basics are getting a lot better.
Also swipe to see some goofy #longboardgoosechase submissions I did today lol. One is to do “coffin carves” and one is to slide while buttboarding and I legitimately had no idea where to start so I just rolled around on my butt awkwardly for like fifteen minutes lol. It was such a blast.
Play, skate, win epic prizes!

Team MIA (@robertokassin ) has been working so hard at these challenges and battled for 1st place all weekend only to be dethroned at the last minute by a team who drove up a mountain for snow and literally broke a Guinness world record. Thanks for completing our “global family” challenge and brining such a diverse group to the game. Y’all are the reason we did this @theidsa #longboardgoosechase
