Longboarders on Highway -

Longboarders tackle the Bombay Hills - National - NZ Herald Videos

You think going down a hill at speed is crazy, try it with traffic on a highway with no shoes or protective gear.

One of them is said to be Canadian (person with camera???).

[doublejceballos]

why would that dude ride without shoes?

[Skym]

Don't know. At least he's wearing a helmet.

Canadian dudes name is Andrew Chapman -

Longboardings the new craze around our town here, one of my friends went down a hill and at the bottom of the hill hit a car head first (the car didnt hit him, he hit the car lol), into the side mirror... Broke the mirror and got some cuts on his head... Now he wears a helmet lol.

They had a movie called "Thrashin" back in the 80's which had a Longboard type of race (using Skateboards) at end -

If you can see it coming, you can slide to slow yourself down, in an emergency split second type thing..... what dreadedfist said

I got myself doing 76km/h on radar on my d/h board, and it didn't feel like the fastest section of road.
