Ember Volland can skate. She whipped out her Landyachtz longboard and we explored some popular Austin sites, such as the postcard mural and Lady Bird Lake.

Ember is terrifically brave and seems to also crave an adrenaline rush. She convinced me to give longboarding a shot and it is now my preferred means of travel. Lupe Fiasco’s “Kick Push” is the song in the bonus video.
