Wow... and why it'd never work for me

Here is a Youtube link of a longboarder speeding down a really hilly area. The kid has serious skill.

Why it wouldn’t go well for me, aside from my lack of balance, etc. As soon as I get synched with the camera chaser, an old, rusty camper would drive past in a blue cloud of exhaust.

I wonder how they managed to film the whole thing without hitting any traffic.

Pretty impressive skills, but God help the poor driver that nails him on a corner.

So um, what’s the difference between a longboard and a normal skateboard?

it’s longer

Well, a longboard is quite a bit longer than a street board.
The clip is great, but would have been even better as one long take. Kyle Chin got mad skilz regardless.

Honestly thats amazing

How long do wheels last with that kind of braking?

It is probably good, but how do we know he didn’t fall like 50 times?

Many of his bodily surfaces appear largely intact.

Yes, one long take would have been amazing, but we wouldn’t have all the great camera angles.

Amazing and terrifying. All I could think was that if he bit it, he’d have no skin left.

That’s beautiful.

I like this one. There’re no tight turns or anything, just cruising down a highway amongst the traffic.

Going back uphill must be a bitch.
