Long Distance Skateboard Pumping is a technique that allows longboard skateboarders to go on distance excursions much the same way one would travel across town on a bicycle, without ever touching foot to ground. It is also referred to as "LDP."

Longboard-skateboard technology has rapidly advanced since the 1970s, and along with those changes is a new breed of distance-pumping skateboarder. LDP sessions can be casual 5- to 10- mile pump cruises on flat bike / rollerblading trails, or a 26-mile all-out marathon, where a gyrating, pumping motion is the primary means for moving the skateboard forward.
