Wow, CRAZY skateboarding down steep hill.

Skateboarding down steep hill.

This video is great! It looks like so much fun. The camera work is excellent, It must take a lot of skill to do this with a camera too.

WATCH!

Thats actually pretty cool, it takes ages to load though, i'm only half way through.

It's cool that the car brakes for them but i'm not sure thats what you want to see going that fast on a skate board.

A few cool camera swaps too.

I'm gonna go and watch the rest of the vid.

Yeah it's looks good, great camera work. It loaded pretty quick for me, but slower than usual, but I guess that's because of the nice quality.

I thought it was good even thou I'm not into skateboards, but it reminds me of similar hills from when I had a bike, feels fun.

WOW!!!! Thanks for the rush. That is something that I would like to have done about 40 years ago. What a great road. I owned a skateboard in 1963 that was maybe 7 inches wide and 20 long with soft rubber truck bushings and fiber wheels with crappy bearings. I built a downhill board for my son in the late 90s and rode it a little, but not on anything like the road in the video. Seeing this thing was as close as I'll be to the primal freedom of being young and daring.

You wouldn't want to hit a pot hole would you?
Or an oncoming car for that matter. [EDIT] or a fire hydrant, those wheels do well on rough surfaces.
I'm just wondering why they stop half way down, do you think one stacked it and just cut it from the vid???

Oh, i'm no skater either, but it's cool to see like that.
