Although you wrote you'll never do it again, IF you were to do it again anyway some day I would like to advice you to have another look into a longboard, and choose a day when it's nice weather! You'll have a lot of more fun riding. Check out http://pavedwave.org/ http://pavedwave.org/ (The Soul of Distance Skateboarding). On the forums you'll find tons of advice (skateboard equipment, technique, nutrition) which can help you achieve awesome goals. You can also find events over there. If there's one time an event close to you you should really check it out, it's a great experience to come together and ride for 24 hours! (sound funny huh)
