This is the best Longboarding movie i have seen this year. Digging the mic'd up riders, and the idea of following him in a car as he narrates is really smooth. This was perfect.
Hey Louie it's me Joey with Go Longboarding Day! This is sick. Thanks EG for linking me to this! This just changed my view on downhill bombing. Time to go practice!
The video edit was sick. The concept of narrating while freeriding is sick. The follow cam in the car is sick. (How did you guys mount the camera to get such a stable shot?) The skating is sick. THIS IS FCKING SICK! One of the best skate videos I've seen!
When you think about it, skating is a REALLY odd thing to love to do. People who don't skate never understand why we like it so much and if you put yourself in their shoes it kind of makes sense haha. I don't know what it is about skating that I love but I know I'll never stop doing it. To quote the great Louis Pilloni, "Get on your board, ride down a hill, grind a bank, snap an ollie. Skateboard."
Here I am a decade later, reading your comment as a novice longboarder, and this comment still rings true. I get funny looks or straight up amazement from people when I tell them I usually cover the 5 mile ride to my work on my board. And yes, it‘s not easy, but it‘s just so damn fun!
@EinYeTi I'd stick with the 70mm's simply because it works with tons of free ride boards. 70mm is like the happy medium. Offset meaning the core is off-center, being slightly more towards the inside of the wheel.
@SnoMan1818 you should start by trying to make deeper and more charged carving. it also depends on how loose your trucks are + if your wheels have sharp edges ( not been broken in yet) it'll be more harder for you to slide. When you're carving you'll feel that in some point the wheels stop having contact with floor on that moment you'll realize your almost sliding after you get the idea of what it is it's just using the same science but trying to focus on the contact between wheels and floor.
@TheZC13 practice practice ;). No seriously, PRACTICE like crazy. Usually I push uphill or anywhere switch, just to get experience. Lately I've committed full days to riding switch, doing slides, carving, even just grabbing rail and lightly bombing and tucking. It's REALLY tough at first, but after a month or three, you'll notice a LOT of growth. Also, you'll want a bidirectional board (symmetrical length-wise) so as to get those switch 180's to regular. Makes it more fun :)
@SnoMan1818 well you should firstly start by using harder wheels since the softer they are the more gripper they're ofc. In my opinion otangs are one of the best wheels for longboarding around. I'd advise you to get 86 A wheels, those are the harder available in otang variety stimulus are made for free ride and sliding. You can always look for slide guides at youtube. If you need to know about anything else send me a pm . Peace
i suggest to get a baseplate at like 44 degrees and get some VENOM SHR bushings and do a board side 91 red and road side 88 sea foam. its a really good combo for fast downhill and good freeride. just adjust the tighnest and ur good.
@powking86 no it doesnt look close at the end. its not a vugenhaussen nor is the tail bolted on. i have a chopped voodoo xl with a kicktail bolted onto it.
So today while longboarding me and my buddy did a check in a driveway at this rich neighborhood, and coming out of the driveway back onto to road we were stopped short by a hummer and almost hit it. We said we were sorry and waved, then he pulled into the driveway we just shot out of. AWKWARD. and we got bitched out for doing that. but, we hit the feature!!!! THANKS
Speed wobbles are all in the rider my friend (till you reach insane speeds i guess) my best advice is to practice, and practice again; perhaps you can change the bushings to some harder barrels from venom but I do not suggest tightening your trucks, loose trucks save lives. Another thing that causes wobbles, beside the rider over correcting at higher speeds because the trucks react alot more at when going fast, is a flexy deck, if your board has too much flex it's not the best for DH.
I'm pretty sure he's riding the daisy. Even though it doesn't have the daisy's graphic it has the tail. Also this was the top video when i searched sector 9 daisy. I'm not 100% sure so don't get mad at me if i'm wrong haha.
My left ear enjoyed this.
Louis is such a kickass dude. All around down to earth guy, super awesome to skate with....and of course, he's damn good at skating. Sweet vid.
this is one of the most helpfull videos on you tube we need more instructive videos thanx
ahahh rides like a beast and narrates the entire time! that takes skill!
This is the best Longboarding movie i have seen this year. Digging the mic'd up riders, and the idea of following him in a car as he narrates is really smooth. This was perfect.
Yeah Louis! your 360s are so clean and smooth.
Awesome video. Great shot at 1:07
Hey Louie it's me Joey with Go Longboarding Day! This is sick. Thanks EG for linking me to this! This just changed my view on downhill bombing. Time to go practice!
This is probably my favorite video ever
Such an awesome guy
This downhill has an upbeat infomercial vibe. You're like the Billy Mays of freeriding.
This man clearly knows what it's all about. Amen to his sentiment at the end.
videos like this get me stoked to skate
Louis is an amazing skater
finally.... louie has come back on youtube *Thumbs up*
I love his style its so relaxed. makes it look easy
No, then it would be like any other video. He just also happens to say one of the most inspirational quotes in longboarding history and the end.
"DUDE thats my car dont do that!!" immediately does it again.. haha!
this video is so sick. Louis Im glad to see your enjoying sector9, I still watch your videos from loaded. But good to see you still spread the stoke.
awesome riding man great run!!
more louis videos please!!!! we love seeing him skate!!! ill buy your boards!!!
louis is so bad ass no matter who he rides for he is just epic and so chill :)
"I just love skating, all kinds man, just get on your board, ride down a hill, grind a bank, snap an ollie... skateboard"
'i dont know what i was gonna say.. i just love skating' haha. Love it!
Oh my god, I want that board!!! DH with kicktails are where it's at!
The video edit was sick. The concept of narrating while freeriding is sick. The follow cam in the car is sick. (How did you guys mount the camera to get such a stable shot?) The skating is sick. THIS IS FCKING SICK! One of the best skate videos I've seen!

"Get on your board, ride down a hill, grind a bank, snap an ollie. Skateboard." i Love that Quote
The best from Sector 9.
Man, this guy is crazy, but full of energy. I hope 1 day I'll be able to skate as good as him.
10 years later ... got that good? ;)
This video does not capture just how crazy steep and how f'ed the pavement is, Louie kills it!
"Duuuuude! That's my car, don't do that!... be careful with that alright?" HAHAHAHA.
One of the best riders out there! sick vid!
needs more views tbh
my left ear loved this...
man those switch stand up slides are crazy
louie pilloni, i can't believe your a pro
skate all day er' day for life! keep livin the dream louie!!! pce
great stuff - even today
SO ABSURDLY GOOD
@EinYeTi

"And into the might Cliff Coleman!"
He then proceeds to do a Bert slide.
I'm pretty sure that board is the Arbor Hybrid Gt. The board Kody noble used in that San Francisco video.
@SnoMan1818 you should start by trying to make deeper and more charged carving. it also depends on how loose your trucks are + if your wheels have sharp edges ( not been broken in yet) it'll be more harder for you to slide.

Thats a beautiful hill :) I just love skating :)
loved that video
Sick riding! Respect!
I actually met this guy!!
Longboard-Tribute to Bob Ross, loving it!
@EinYeTi
They look like Sector9 Race Formulas. 70mm, 80a, with a sharp lip and is offset. Usually go for about $40 in most online longboard shops.
@TheZC13 practice practice ;). No seriously, PRACTICE like crazy. Usually I push uphill or anywhere switch, just to get experience.

back for the daily visit
What amazes me is the wheels on the board don't get flat spots in them.
....I really enjoyed that
Damn son, wonder how many kids have asked what board that is since this vid came out hahaha!!!
"Be careful with that, alright?... Well let's bomb this! Come on, let's do this! Let's get this thing!!!"
dude this guy is so excited
if you see water, go through it! if your bearings rust, your sponsor will get you new ones!
This dude is awesome!
What a ride 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
That's was awesome!
That speed is crazy.
ITS A FRICKEN DAISY
Dude.. i fucking love this guy.

AWSOME!!!! favourite longboarding vid :D wat board is that as well?
i suggest to get a baseplate at like 44 degrees and get some VENOM SHR bushings and do a board side 91 red and road side 88 sea foam. its a really good combo for fast downhill and good freeride. just adjust the tighnest and ur good.
@powking86 no it doesnt look close at the end. its not a vugenhaussen nor is the tail bolted on. i have a chopped voodoo xl with a kicktail bolted onto it.
Maybe 1/5 roads can even possibly be skated down here, but there are hills literally everywhere, so
It ain't what you ride, it's how you ride it. :)
hell yeah louis! killin it
arvocardos! thumbs up for louis's awesome accent!
Holy crap he's good. If I tried that I'd be so dizzy and bleeding...
Sick vid man!
this guy is awesome
So today while longboarding me and my buddy did a check in a driveway at this rich neighborhood, and coming out of the driveway back onto to road we were stopped short by a hummer and almost hit it. We said we were sorry and waved, then he pulled into the driveway we just shot out of. AWKWARD. and we got bitched out for doing that. but, we hit the feature!!!! THANKS
This is like a longboarding commercial!!!
best sector 9 video
70mm CS 80a raceforms, i cored them and they are smoother than CS freerides
Speed wobbles are all in the rider my friend (till you reach insane speeds i guess) my best advice is to practice, and practice again; perhaps you can change the bushings to some harder barrels from venom but I do not suggest tightening your trucks, loose trucks save lives.

Matt K is the Bomb at filming! radness
he make it look so easy
I want this deck!
staaaaaaaanduuuuuuup sliiiiide, does indy pre drift
This guy just loves to skate
James kelly's arbor signature model, vagun hausen.
What trucks and bushing set-up does louie ride?
Dude you jumped my car! hahahha
i think its a downhill division daisy... with a pre-production run or an alternate graphic.
@InDaClub717 alright thats pretty dope ill try it once i get my board!!
california looks like the perfect place to ride, all it seems 2 do is rain here so im forced to dream about ideal conditions
I'm pretty sure he's riding the daisy. Even though it doesn't have the daisy's graphic it has the tail. Also this was the top video when i searched sector 9 daisy. I'm not 100% sure so don't get mad at me if i'm wrong haha.
this video is like a game
This guy is rad!
that was fucking awesome, pillonis the man.
Legend!
Search "With a side of Victor" It's 20 minutes but it's so good! This hill is in that Vid
Sweetness!
how did i hear his voice without wind D: blows my mind.
Nice Man ,
very NICE.
a video of a guy doing 1 trick over and over and over again, how exciting!
Sector 9 Racing Formula 70mm 80a, not sure about the 70mm but since its a top mount I assume they are.
That was great
