When you get pulled over for speeding on a skateboard
A Frozen Fox my uncle actually did in the late 80s for going like 40 in a 25 I believe, ridiculous but great story
That happenned to me 😂
As if the cops could get him 😂
They gotta catch him first!!!
@@louis-alexandrecabana2572 yup been there
Plot twist: He jumps off and has heelies
Lmao
What are heelies
@ shoes that have wheels inside
Then gets world record for fastest heelies
Then starts going 125 mph
Him: “let’s hit 90 mph”
Tiny pebble: I’m bout to end this mans whole career

@JAffacakeSON BLAHA woooosh
Thats right push dont polute lmao
@JAffacakeSON BLAHA jesus dude you have serious problems.
@JAffacakeSON BLAHA fok urself
@JAffacakeSON BLAHA people who get r/wooshed always say the DUMBEST shit back😂😂😂
Man, I wish he could have crossed the 90 mph barrier. Sooo close!
Just imagine, the next record could very well be 95
Or they'll just die youknow
New record just just over 91 I think
Honestly I'd like to hit 100
Ryan Colquitt don’t think so otherwise would be posted somewhere. It’s not. This record appears to be 3 years old.
having personally hit about 50-55 mph on a longboard i can say i would never want to try for speeds this fast. at those speeds the smallest muscle flinch can literally send the bard out from under you in a heartbeat and cause some extremely dangerous situations. Props on the record though!!! takes balls to do something that insane.
A few years ago when I longboarded alot more, and more seriously, I ate shit going over 55 mph. I live in rural Pennsylvania and my buddy was following me in his car (at a safe distance, but that judged my speed). At the bottom of this hill, I hit a patch of gravel and my board turned sideways and threw me.. I dont know how far exactly, I'm sure it was more than 20 feet. I shattered my wrist, and both of my knees and elbows are scarred from it. If I wasn't wearing a helmet, it would have been worse. I kept skating after that. But as I get older, the appeal to push speed like that fades a little more. Those were fun times and I could get away with it when I was 19. But I guess I'm turning into an old man now. Those memories and moments of speed wobbles and wipeouts have made me a better person though.
I can't imagine trying to turn through the winds
@@johnbender49 a better person lmao 🛹
My guess is the dude goes 50+ mph regularly so he has the muscle stability/memory to do it. It's just like anything, just a ton of experience and muscle development for a specific task.
An with that mindset you will never be a redbull athlete. People just go for it with full confidence. You would be surprised at what humans can do if they put their minds to something. Crazy balls tho forsure
Dude that skateboard sounds more powerful than a Honda civic
Nate it is
It is.
My asshole after Taco Bell is more powerful than a Honda Civic.
It definitely goes faster than one.
Nate I know this a joke but do you know what v tec is ? Guess not . Lol 😂
Thank you for not using music through that attempt
Right!? I love the sound of urethane rolling on smooth pavement at high speed:^}
I can hear Eric Koston yellin ,,Do a kickflip"
LOOOL :-D
This should be an Olympic sport
matthew spence riders wouldn't pass the drug test
true, that statement is. hahahahaha
lmao. grass is too legit to quit my man
Well the 2020 olympics are adding skateboarding. Maybe downhill is one of the categories.
no, I wish. they're adding freaking dance I think and vert but the one that is closest to a sport, downhill, isn't. sucks
Came off at 42mph once when I was hanging g o to the back of a mate's car, that was bad enough, lol. This guy has some serious testicular fortitude.
testicular fortitude 😂, balls of steel XD
How is he still here? I mean, he went past 88mph right? Should be riding a Hoverboard now.
Perfect Saying.
He's in the 1950's now
So your telling me this man has a whole fin on his speed suit but doesnt have one of those aerodynamic helmets
I would say the guy knows what hes doing and whats best for him to get his best speed. The guy was rock solid. Fair play to him.
I think that this fin was to stabilize him and give more control ... Not speed
Yupp. My telling you that Aerolid helmets do not, in fact, improve aerodynamics
@@notectrl I think New Olders would disagree lol
@@notectrl speed skiers use the taper fins on there legs and also the weird aerodynamic helmet and they go over 150 mph now.
I think the funny helmets may help with aerodynamics.
he's still going till this day trying to stop lol

I've done 94.4 but I had diarrhea.

When you put hot wheels bearings on your skateboard
FYI the "undisclosed location" is on the backside of Rist Canyon, outside of Fort Collins. Not sure what that was supposed to be a secret, but people who ride bikes there will recognize it immediately.
lol. they keep it secret so random people don't go out there and hurt themselves trying to skate it, resulting in legal problems
A beautiful spot... but looks like there are lots of dead trees in the forest- pine bark beetles?
Those trees were actually burnt during the 2012 High Park Fire. Darkasthegrave is correct. I've ridden down the backside of Rist many times and instantly recognized it. I can only manage just above 50mph. I didn't realize that a skateboarder can get aero enough to go that fast. Amazing!
+lopezb there are always a lot of dead spots like that in forests that thick
57 mph on a bicycle, I wasn't as aero as this guy. but this takes balls.
Imagine if he got speed wobble
He would probably crap himself
He did but it was controlled
Takes a special type of person to want to go that fast on a piece of wood! One of a kind my friend, one of a kind.
“Speed limit 30” 1:55
bruh
Like if people drive the speedlimit.
143km/h = 40mps roughly
wheels at 73mm cover .073m
40/.073= 547.95 rps
547.95×60 sec= 32,876 rpm roughly. Those wheels were spinning!
You are one big brain.
@@sssharefff Thanks for the comment and here is my humility. Upon seeing this post again I realize I've made a mistake. The diameter is not the distance the wheel covers. Here is the revised calculation.
143km/h= 40mps roughly
Wheels at 73mm diameter cover .23m rolling meter
40/.23= 173.9 rps
173.9x60 sec= 10,434 rpm.
Those wheels are still spinning!😅
He went pass the speed limit.Where’s the cops at?
Trying to catch up.
I think the most impressive thing isn't how fast he was going, it's that he stopped the skateboard somehow and is still alive
How he doesn’t get speed wobbles is just amazing. Oh yeah, and breaking the speed record :)
His trucks are tighter than a virgin mouse pussy
You crank up your trucks!
My friend and I rode this hill (not as fast, we were hitting 63 by the bottom) two weeks before Mischo Erban broke the previous down hill speed record on this very spot. It's definitely the perfect hill for deadly speed. If you ever find it you better pad up.
i remember i went super fast and bailed and i remember running so fast that i jumped as high as i could and no joke was over a 5ft fence
If he crashed, he would crash on the smallest pebble ever
basicly
Pebbles do jack shit when you have 75mm wheels and are hauling ass
Dear everyone, please stop making this silly uninformed comment. Thanks.
Lucid No, I speak from experience, pebbles are harmless
David Uhlig the cracks are what get you
Surprised his wheels didn't catch fire..
HOW THE HECK DID HE STOP??? I WANTED TO SEE THAT TOO. 😔
just standing upright and catching the wind with the body can shave 10-20 off his speed and it's easier to handle after that
BIG pendy slide bro...BIG pendy lol
2 self proclaimed "skateboarders" disliked this. Groms, it's ALL skateboarding. This is historic. Congratulations!!!:|>-/o
not skateboarding if you gotta wear a leg fin
@@reeserabchak9965 You know what your right its not skateboarding, it's longboarding. 2 slightly different sub-classes of skating.
@@reeserabchak9965 Since when does it matter what you wear? I didn't know skateboarding had rules. A longboard is a skateboard it doesn't matted if he's wearing a full on scuba diving suit riding a 2x4 he's still skating 😂.
Imagine getting pulled over for going 3x over the limit on a skateboard
Still not faster than Usain Bolt running uphill.
are you stupid ??? usain bolt only runs at 27mph
swooooooosh
princevinny18 with grammar like that, the only dumb ass here is you.
Deez Nutz try typing on a phone. Then call people dumb
Safir I always type on my phone. Hell, I’m typing on my phone right now.
And I'm proud of going 30 mph on my longboard 😥
Hell yes! That was sick as hell! Downhill skaters are insane. Mucho respect.
Wha? That is insane. Congrats! Barely 3 days into long boarding at age 53 and maybe 10 mph. Should make this an Olympic sport. Fear, speed, and fan awe & pucker factor.
Never too late. I'm gonna start with 32. ^^
That's just incredible. Congrats, Kyle!
*He might have been the fastest on a skateboard(documented) but he was not the fastest downhiller when you add in rollerskates and other undocumented events. Yes, I was on rollerskates not rollerblading when I went downhill so fast (coffin-style leg between my leg on one foot) on a long super steep hill in Valencia, California Just off the freeway before Magic Mountain. After 95+ mph (with my older brother chasing behind in a car) my bearings blew out from overheating. Luckily I was only about two inches off the ground because I slid for a long time with my wallet going up in a rooster tail of confetti.* *My wallet save my ass that time but I do have pictures of my ass being scraped away from road rash in other downhill incidents(again bearings blowing out).* *At those speeds, trust me leather outfits are not going to do you any good.* *There're other people who have probably gone faster but just without all these official people to document it.* *Me jumping over 12 swing cruisers over 20 years ago with no ramp in Venice Beach, California was documented by Channel 7 Eyewitness News and posted every day on their opening of Wild World of Sports for 1 year. Yes, that was over 26 feet, (6 feet over the world record of some skater jumping with nothing in between) at that time. But we weren't there for any world record attempt, they were just filming me jumping a lot of bicycles. That was me.*
Max i've ever done was 20mph and that felt so fast to me 😂😂
I just installed Bronson G2's in my set-up. So far they are terrific bearings. Fast and smooth as all heck.
This guy has some bee bee's
1:07 when bae says shes home alone
Lol
Bae is drinking someone else's ball cheese now.
Awesome 🔥 and congrats when I watch him I can't believe the speed I try every Sunday using shorts downhill croos over not to longer and I do most of the time 100 km when really you feel the adrenaline 1: 20 but that already enter into a freaking bubble I am glad and happy that he mentions Pedro :) I do one single slam and for the rest just enjoying the all town , scared most of the time about creepy downhill . But I enjoy more just 💯 :)
PS : I wear sketchers shoes (relaxedfit) for downhill ;)
um august 29th wasnt tuesday it was monday because that's my birthday
dude how did they need that up?
+Taylor Sessions im not sure😂
*mess. Thanks Elijah Cross!
i have 34 years old and started on skateboards by the first time like 5 months ago from now and have gone downhill at 60 km/h and are a "bit" scary... i dont have a great tuck yet and even a very pró longboard, in reality i build a longboard with a santa cruz street shape 8.0" and 180mm trucks... increasing the distance between the trucks... i think all is possible and if i training enought in some years maybe i can reach a decent speed too... good video!! i have 3 videos doing the donwhill on my channel and another video showing the santa cruz street longboard build process... take a look! im from Brazil, so sorry for my rough english!
No GoPro view? ... seems like a fail on that front.
you re fake.
a go pro would have messed up aerodynamics
a camera on his body or board could have held him back anywhere from 1-10 mph i bet. possibly even kept him from breaking the record.
That, and the frame rate wouldn't have been able to keep up while simultaneously trying to stabilize video.
Gopro helmet cams for downhill skateboarding make it seem a lot slower than it is and aren't that fun to watch because you can't see the rider slide the board, which is where a lot of the finesse lies.
Imagine hitting a ramp at that speed🤣🤙
Right before the invitational speed event... what
Him: shoots by lady going 90mph
Lady: do a kick flip
Me: no don’t do that, that’s a bad choice
He absolutely crushed it! So awesome!
Imagine just going about your day and end up seeing something even close to this 🤯
how the fuck did he stop??
+omar a legend.
We do a slide to stop in a short time
+Jeffrey Huang they don't know longboarding slang😂
i wanted to see the power slide!
at 89 MPH??
If his board has flux capacitor, he would have traveled back in time. 88 MILES PER HOUR!!!!!!!
Get your self some Bronson G3s
*LONGBOARDING DOWNHILL WITH A KICKTAIL, BAD IDEA, CAUSE MY BEARINGS JUST BROKE WHILE SHREDDING*
If you hit a tree at that speed you're basically mush right?
just imagine if he simply fell off.... road pizza dude
+Balling Like Choji no. Hes Wearing Racing leathers.
Shit imagine those jagged ass rocks on the cliff... Yea hes flirting with death no doubt.
le puse la velocidad 1.25 y parece que acelera a 200 km/hs limite y tambien a la velocidad 1.5 y parece que acelerara a 550 km/hs limite XD respuestas plis XD
To anyone asking: "How did he stop?"
Your tuck is a stance where you try to be as aerodynamic as possible. the tighter it is the faster you get. If your body is carrying you to that speed, it's also what will slow you down. Slowly getting out of this aerodynamic stance allows you to gradually get to a more manageable speed. Then you can start carving to brush off some more speed and consider if you want to footbrake or power slide (hands down or stand up). Downhill skateboarding it's just a bunch of mall grabbers and mongo pushers. Its been evolving for years like street skating.
There is no running that off once you get to a certain point it's almost impossible to bail without messing your self up
legend has it he's still rolling through the hills today
I Sent It Down A Hill Once I Think I Might Have Hit 25mph But THAT was aLsO tHe dAy I foUnD oUt wHat SPEED WABBELS ARE, THE HARD WAY!😂😂
Not RIDICULOUS speed....
LUDICROUS speed!

Skateboard: *EXISTS*
Crack in the road: *I'm gonna end this whole mans career*
How do they know that the place where the speed trap was is his fastest moment? He could’ve been going 90+ at some point
22 Narsayee maths
My question is how does he stop after going 90 mph lol
A lot of the time mountain hills will do this thing where they start angling upward after going down. 😝
That, and probably some crazy drifting after his speed was read. 😂😂
Powerslides, waiting for the uphill to slow him down
I just started longboarding and I have a santacruz octo diver... I love it

Are you just really fat or really narly?
No way in hell I could do this just imagine falling off. Man I give this guy my respect.
when I was young I went down hill with a similar skateboard and fell, my keens were all bruised,
and was bleeding from my head... when I got home my mom finished the job:-))))
That sounds horrible lol I give you credit tho
@@claytonlutz6703
I meant it as a joke …
Oh haha good one
@@claytonlutz6703 Forgot to mention that it was 1989 in the south of Italy, back then it would be easier to bump into a unicorn then a skateboard , I remember going to school and everybody was like oh my god that’s a skateboard 🛹… in fact I had to order one in a sports shop and it took a couple of weeks to arrive …. But hell yeah it was worth it
imagine how tight his trucks are?
Not very tight, truck geometry and weight distribution has more of an effect on stability than simply compressing your bushings...
Imagine the skill needed for handling the wobbles lol
It's not like that on these kind of board set ups. crazy advanced. very stable and precise handling
his trucks would set back a normal skater 500 bucks. he got them for free.
When I still stated I'd tighten mine all the way down.. Hate loose trucks!
Jumping off at that speed and somewhat surviving......0.01% chance. Chance of death 99.99%
*Speed limit 30mph*
Guy is pushin 90mph, lol.
Anyone know what the fin is for behind his leg?
I am guessing it helps him stay more stabilized on his board or what?
more arrow dynamic
Aerodynamic. If there’s a gap between the legs, the wind will cut through there and will make like an air cushion reducing his speed and losing control.
I imagine it's for aerodynamics. At those kinds of speeds, his leg cutting through the air would likely produce a vacuum behind his legs, which would pull back on that leg and reduce the speed. The fin takes up the place the vacuum would, and allows the wind to merge behind his leg, reducing air drag.
dkandreasprip what are you talking? Do you know what a vacuum is? Its impossible for us to create a vacuum
Disclaimer, I'm not an engineer or anything. But I think you're right, vacuum is not the technically accurate term for that. Calling it an area with low pressure causing drag force would probably be more accurate.
On paper 89mph is nothing to a car, but wheh you watch him actually do it its like there is no way hes going that fast!!!
I assume his trucks are welded
West Senkovec welded?
Ya they must be tight as fuck.
They're actually probably precision CNC milled. Trucks that are precision milled can cost upwards of 400 dollars for a set and are generally made for intense downhill applications like this, although you *can* go at very high speeds on standard cast trucks if you're experienced enough. Trucks can also be forged but those are cheaper than precision, generally about 150 dollars a set.
Btw tightness is not the right way to avoid speed wobbles, either you get harder bushings or improve your form (keep your weight on your downhill leg)
Anything over 50 is probably getting into the lethality zone...?
2nd fastest coment
Hahaha you re awesome!
no i am number one writer i wrote this in like 3 seconds!

Yes im down to challenge u lol iv done 120kph already beside a car up here in canada
Id like to talk to u
adrenalina pura muito foda
u know what I fricken noticed right away??.... just because becuz your on a skateboard and u fly off your board due to a pebble, it doesn't mean the same thing for long boarding......when I see people comment stuff like, "one roll over a pebble and he's dead" I literally laugh at that because u can hardcore tell that, that persons just a regular short board skater type who tries to be the "know it all" person who actually never tried downhill long boarding...... so what's the point in watching these vids when u don't even know the full facts of longboardong or never even tried it.???
Dorian Tappo yeah, ikr
This man has gone faster on a skateboard than I have ever driven in a car...
that’s kinda sad. I have driven over 100 mph many times. just get on the interstate and wait for an opening in the left lane
@@jesseh2277 I can now say with confidence that this is no longer true, I had the interstate to myself on a straight portion late at night and wanted to see how far I could push my old Camry flat out. The answer? 117mph on a 96 4cyl with a little tailwind. So, my comment no longer rings true!
Such a beautiful skateboard deck, can someone please tell me what deck he is using??
SOMEONE SHOW HOW HE STOPS
Stand up straight and stick your arms out when it levels out at the bottom. You will slow right down.
ur gonna fall back
i thought he waits till it goes back up and slides
Yeah obviously you will want to lean into the wind a bit to keep from falling...
it ends at a T intersection
I just went 30mph on my longboard for the first time then i see this
how does he stop?
goes uphill
some say he is still skating to this day
a slide I think
Airbreaking, then sliding.
obviously he jumps off and uses his heely's to glide the rest of the way.
During this attempt he also got the world record tightest trucks in the history of skateboarding
This is why I love Santa Cruz
lmao santa cruz is shit. its the rider thats good.
He wasn't even riding a Santa Cruz board just had a their sticker on their

Speed limit was 30
Mr J 86 so was the cost of the bearings
Like if people follow speedlimits. LOL.
This video inspired me so much the need for speed but on a skateboard when i had abit of a small skateboard what u could say i didn’t know how to ride, i kept falling but then i kept going and going till one day i made it to a speed that is fast for small skateboard it was a average speed for a skateboard on a non hill but then i kept getting faster bc i wanted to push to my limit and i was fast as a bike when it is being peddled really hard and i was amazed then my feet kept getting bigger and I couldn’t ride that small skateboard anymore when my uncle first saw flying down the street with the skateboard he was amazed he said let me see ur skateboard and it was a pretty good made skateboard with good wheels.That was the start of him thinking he should give something to me bc he knew for my size and that skateboard is impossible to think for him but now, now he gave me a long board made of the best wood and i was happy i could still live up to my dream of being the fastest on a longboard just like this man now. Thank u for inspiring me 🛹+❤️= Me now
