Being a very large campus, UCF takes a long time to cross. It can take up to half an hour to go from Hercules to the Towers. There are only a few ways to get around quicker, biking, skating and long boarding. Many people enjoy long boarding yet some are looking to have it banned on campus.
I have played hockey since I was 8 years so rollerblading was an option. After weighing out the pros and cons I realized that roller skating would be more of an inconvenience than it is worth. I would have to tie my skates and skate all the way to class while carrying an extra bag for my shoes. Then when I get there I would have to untie my skates and change into my shoes before I go into class. The whole charade would take almost as long as walking. I have also considered riding my bike. However, there are also too many cons in my opinion. After riding to class there is the hassle of trying to find a place to safely park it and lock it to.
Therefore the quickest and most logical way to get to class is to long board. By long boarding I can get from Hercules to the Towers in approximately 8 minutes. Also by long boarding I eliminate the problem of changing my shoes and parking my bike. I simply take my long board wherever I go. I can even take it into class. Until my freshman year of college I had never skate boarded. I could barely step on a skate board without falling. When I moved up to college my older brother gave me his long board to use and I learned with ease.
