No ocean waves required for longboarding, a past time catching the eye of some Top of Utah teens in this latest installment of Trending With TX.

Cruisin’ via boards

Feeling the wind rush through your hair and adrenaline pumping through your veins is what most longboarders live for. Zipping along at daredevil speeds or simply coasting is the new “in” thing to do.

Longboards are making a comeback. Gone are the days where “hippies” were the only ones that rode. Now, longboards — wider and longer versions of the standard skateboard — are the popular mode of transportation, often used to get to school, a friend’s house or the mall.

Crazy videos, geeky pleasures and a few amazing movies are the topics of our newest installment of Trending With TX.

‘Harlem Shake’

“The Harlem Shake” is sweeping the globe right now, similar to Psy’s “Gangnam Style,” and the Spanish phrase meaning “with the terrorists” is its signature line. The dance craze began with a wacky YouTube star, DizastaMusic, wildly dancing in a pink body suit to the song “Harlem Shake” by Baauer. In the few days following the upload of his video, thousands of people copied the video, each one being more ridiculous than the last.

Favorite music, the happiness of great shoes and caution about wearing tight, colorful pants are the topics of this new installment of Trending With TX.

Shoe love

Few things in this world are tried and true classics. Blue jeans for instance. Peanut butter and jelly for another.

And you know what else is a classic? Converse sneakers. They go with anything from cutoffs to prom dresses and everything in between. They are so versatile that anyone can wear them; adults, teenagers and even little kids can be seen kickin’ around in Converse.
