His third pro model shoe the "spanky" was released in June 2008.Long has appeared in the video, Baker 3, which was the recipient of the Best Video award at the 8th Annual Transworld Skateboarding Awards. He was also featured in Emerica's "This is Skateboarding" and "Kids in Emerica" which both show his incredible talent for skateboarding. Recently he appeared in Baker Skateboard's "Baker Has a Deathwish".
