Downhill longboarders are the most underrated heroes in the world, such courage, precision, focus and talent.
Sick man, watching it AGAIN in 2024 and still rocking!!!
This should be an Olympic event. Incredible skill and guts are needed. But getting enough people from enough countries with this kind of brave talent will probably be a challenge. Maybe not. But it's thrilling to watch.
I agree
Its a relatively new sport and quickly growing
I'm to young now but in ten years this will be me!
Getting this many people, pffft within the first week they'd get at least 200 applications already
Matthew Morgan your never too young to do dh longboarding, or any adrenaline sport
Very impressive skills. I am skeptical in case of crash, you seem not to be really protected. Anyway...!!! I recognise the road, this is the north road from Cime de la Bonnette, going down to Jausiers. Closest "big city" is Barcelonnette". I've been there twice, and I can assure you this is a place you definitely shoud go. La cime de la Bonnette is the highest road in Europe, and the Barcelonnette area is full of renown Cols where the Tour de France passes on a regular basis (Cols de Vars, Col de la Cayolle etc...)
From the top of la Cime de la Bonnette, the mediterranean sea is a 2 hours drive.
Wow that's cool I'm sure there is probably a good reason why this can't be an Olympic sport has to be something else to it maybe because it's so awesome but so is martial arts just something about longboarding downhill at top speeds stopped the Olympics from letting it happen
This is my favourite long boarding video, and it's my life goal to longboard that run!
Sick footage awesome video wow this place really is paradise !!
this guy is super good at toesides....
Not only, lol
+TimeForDianne shut up
yan junbang I'm kinda new to the downhill longboarding stuff so I don't know what a toe side is. Can u explain it plz?
If you're regular stance its your right hand turns, if you're goofy stance its your left hand turns. Basically when you're leaning on your toes to slide.
Coleman slides too fuck
Pure bliss..what a video
This is really a classic for longboard vids lol
pffft. i can do that, hold my beer.
Lmao😂😂😂
I can do that with a beer in both hands.
I probably would die but... I could do this :D
Im Not a Beer holder😐
Timothy Levi not a good idea to do this while intoxicated
r u okay bro? i'm worried as it a year passed already and no news from you
I love that song it's perfect for going downhill on a longbord
Awesome video looks fun! Good choice in songs too
Geweldig Stephen!!!
love the music choice!!
Dope song choices.
holy shit i love downhilling but this is just too extream.. Respect!!
Dude that is sick!!
Das ist do ein tolles viedeo mit richtig viel könne aber schade das es so wenige Klicks für longboard hattt
AWESOME VIEW+ AWESOME MUSIC+ AWESOME SKATING= SWAG
black keys and longboarding. nice
I know this is in the Alps...City? Town? Road name? Thanks so much. Great video! Great song!
Beautiful
que hermoso paisaje😍😍😍😍😍 que otro vídeo así me recomendarían 💜
This is my dream to do this the feeling of going down a road fast on a longboard is pure freedom and the best high and feeling your ever Gona feel
When I get my longboard I feel the freedom :))
sick video guys!
Great Video
Tate wick I'm interested in that board if you still have it....
I've not found an indication where exactly the road is. Where does it start and end? Would be more interesting than mentionning which wheels are used. I have wheels but I don't have this road! :-)
BEST VID EVER
This looks fun :)
how loose/tight do your trucks have to be when going downhill? i always have the problem with speed wobbles lol
Jun Hyun Park Pedo Bear actually, no. Ideally, the bushings never have to be tightened down more than just having them be pretensioned (under just enough pressure so there isnt any rattling, or slop). Then, depending on how "tight" you want your trucks to feel you can change the shape and duro of your bushings, and experiment with flat/cupped washers etc.
Personally, i ride 90a Riptide barrels all around. Pretensioned, they offer me enough stability to go up to 55-60mph comfortably, and have enough turn to be able to freeride and carve smaller, slower hills without having to change anything about my bushing setup.
It takes some time with experimenting, but once you find what works for you, there will be no need to change it out anymore
Also, true stability at speed comes more from the balance of the rider, than of the tightness of the trucks. slowly going faster and faster as you get used to it is the best way to get the hang of it.
Pedo Bear i just started longboarding last year and i thought Tightening down bushings all the way was going to do the problem, Make sure you have harder bushings so you dont have to tighten down the bolt on the trucks to much for example i run 94a board side / 87 Roadside it feels awesome and i can hit about 40 On my board with it.
My set up is a 2013 Landyatchz Wolfshark With 2nd Version Caliber 44's 94a BS / 87a RS, 72mm 78a Sector9 Race formula wheels with bones swiss bearings. its a great set up But any set up can be good just gotta test until you feel comfortable with what you like
alrighty thanks alot guys :DD now i be more confident going downhill without anymore shaking
It's good to know how to overpower speed wobbles. You should be fine with stock bushings. In-case you didn't already know if you start getting speed wobbles put more pressure on your toes especially your front foot and that will strengthen your ankles and help with speed wobbles. Tucking helps too but some people are more comfortable ridding stand up.
dudes you all forget one thing, your truck baseplate. you need to have your back trucks baseplate at a lower angle than your from truck this way you eliminate the speed wobbles
woooow genial magico!!!!
I wish i could have a board like that its my wish you know guys im just a 15 year old kid and just doin nothin. Then how i wish that the american longboarder would come here in phil. And visit me. I hope my dream would come true. I like your downhill.:)
Wow, how did you filmed this
This is amazing :o. How long did you train for it? :D
Im new to longboarding and i have a drop down deck. Is that a good deck for downhill riding
Please can someone enlighten me exactly where this is. I'm putting a longboarding bucket list together and I want this to be part of it.
Wie schnell denkt ihr fährt der durchschnittlich der hammer😍
70 bis 80 kmh
so it's someone in the black car filming the whole time?
What kind of wheels dou you need to drift like that?
skills
._,
Sector 9 butterball's
more of a powerslide, and you can do it with most wheels, harder is easier though
so if my wheels are soft, i still can do it. that all i wanted to now, thanks bro.
What parts do I need to add to my board so it would be able to slide ?
masterful
So damn good ...
Are there different types of longboards? like one with which you can do tricks and one where you mostly cruise with, and what would be the best type for a beginner?
Yes it give special longboards downhill cruising dancing etc. I think for a beginner it's best a jucker hawaii new hoku...:)
And soory for my bad enlish :D
I mean I guess there might be one
But longboards are more for cruising and etc
I'd go for a sector nine though!
Idk about beginner's , mine was a sector 9, but I can tell u right now I ride a duster and it rides beautiful and slides really good... Hopefully that helps!
Was this in New Zealand?
1 Million klicks ;)
Where is this? Aren't you scared of cars or are there spotters?
In the alps
Como se llama la canción?
What's the song's name?
How fast do the wheels wear out?
those trucks had to of been real tight
yamolambo what trucks?
Howard The penguin The ones on the board...
What long board does he have?
where is this omg i want to longboard here
Awesome….
How fast is the skate?
where is that hill I wanna ride it
Very cool
Hermoso!😍😍😍
sabes cual es la canción?
+Sanjuana Ibanda Flume Insane💖
very good👍I enjoy your boarding;-)mich wundert es nur das du kein einziges mal hingefallen bist...bei der Straße direkt neben dem brökligen Fels
what gloves does he have
what gear is he using, gloves and pads wise bc i am getting into the sport but in not very good yet so i dont want to hurt myself first week
For full gear, get knee pads, elbow pads, sliding gloves and a helmet for sure. Helmet is never optional, protect your melon. Sliding gloves are second most important, then come the knee and elbow pads. My setup has triple 8 helmet, and landyachtz sliding gloves, I'm still a beginner, but those gloves and helmet are always on me whenever I am on a longboard, no question. knee pads will help greatly when you start learning to pendy toe side. I never regretted putting on knee pads when learning to stop.
+dudamara thanks dude
anybody know what alps this guys is in? French? swiss? where ever it is, im going!
Where is in the alpes ?
any suggestions for inexpensive sliding wheel
Sector 9 butterballs!
what s the place? Where it?
is it difficult to learn the movement on a longboard?
I learned Penny Board in 1 week. I dont know how it is with Longboards but i think its not so difficult
Learning to longboard downhill like this takes much more than a week. Dont mean to be offensive, Dave Das but i'd be quite stoked to see someone skate this way on a penny board hahaha
but Yasii - nocopyrightmusic , it takes some time and dedication( and sacrificing some skin to the asphalt), but its a fun thing to learn for sure
GT DOWNHILL MEDIA ok thx :D
GT DOWNHILL MEDIA ohh sry, i thought just drive normal not Downhill. Sry :D I can just drive normal penny Board
Yasii the basics don't take to long to learn but once you start hitting the higher speeds It can be one of the most difficult things there is, But that shouldn't stop you
Which pass is this?
Where ist that?
I would be worried by that car following so closely because falling off is fairly common.
+Luke Harrington I think it's another guy on a longboard with the camera.
+Joe Simpson (JYoSieFuS) It's a car most likely. This is because it accelerates and breaks faster than the longboard and the camera is too smoth. Also at the end it goes on ruble.
+Joe Simpson (JYoSieFuS) no it's a car
+Luke Harrington its alot farther then you think just good lenses
+n4sc3ntbrother it's not
q top demais
predrift game on point
Cual es la musica?
camera?
Hey
How i can find this guy from the video?
please let me know i have a special invitation for him!
stephen solares vds on FB
How do you avoid rocks on a downhill course looks that? or any course
little stones and pebbles dont tend to be a problem for downhill skating. They usually just get pushed out of the way of your wheels. And anything big enough to be seen, well, you skate around it :)
GT DOWNHILL MEDIA Ha your funny! But thanks still
That's realy dank
Wow!
wow thats cool
Por favor que alguien me diga dónde queda eso yo quiero ir
I really would do longboarding but....
i live in one of the flattest parts of England :(
Just put a rope in the back of someone trunk, close the trunk, get on board and grab rope, HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE!
Go Insane -ly fast.
How tf do you stop
what this music?
I have been watching this video over and over again for 6 years! And it is still really sick!
Same here
Where does one find a beautiful smooth road with no big cracks and potholes
ikrrrrr
Bridgette Hall French Alps obviously ;)
Bridgette Hall i know!!! freakin sucks lol
Bridgette Hall french alps I take 1 hour to go at the place
+Bridgette Hall The austrian alps have some pretty sweet spots. Sadly it's illegal to longboard on the road here so I can't really share specifics.
fuckin' good soundtrack mate
*m8
I hated it
+Peter Price how dude?
+Luke Tang The sound track here was alot better than some of the other over used or just plain awful stuff out there eh.
+Luke Tang I hate you.
STOP STALKING ME
I can really appreciate the beauty of the ride
Still my all-time favorite long boarding video; very smooth slides, awesome editing, and perfect music!
Check out chrunchie's 'Fast and sketchy' video or his '91 kmph from the top' top video with Troy Pemberton
My legs get tired after a couple runs on my hill in Michigan, imagine this guys leg pains.
Yeah but the adrenaline makes him unaware basically.
TheTechFools hahah yeah the adrenaline helps alot! but the pain is there and very real haha it actually sucks because we camped out for a night right next to the hill, but only skated it 4 times (just the top 10km, its probably like a 40km total length) twice at sunset, and twice at sunrise during which we filmed this.
Where do you ride in michigan?
Guhzetiix Where do you ride in michigan?
Guhzetiix u just dont ride ur board enough...DO IT jUST DO IT
this vid is so nice!!! cant wait to get my first longboard...just a matter of days for now :)
how do you like it guys?
everyday? lol
+Jeremy Oerlemans Well, after 7 months now, I hope you could get improve your riding! :)
You still skating, right? :D
Yep im rolling my way through the city now ;) loving it!
+DiskUtility You've cat to be kitten me, ryt meow. This video is purrfect.
But if he fell, it would of been a catastrophy.
Had me cluching my claws the entire time.
at 1:40 look like Downhill in Skyrim O_O
I was thinking the same! someone mod longboards into skyrim!
antsolja or in Fallout? longboarding in post apocalyptia...
The Surreal Vapist Mutant longboarding race?! lol would be nice!!!
Yeah but I don't know if the physics would support racing.
The Surreal Vapist waiting for fallout 4, hope it will released this year or in the next...and then it ll come
3:25 Looked like an angry driver drafting him
I have watched this video all the time when I was 13 and randomly remembered it now 6 years later. The nostalgia is real.
Really enjoyed the video. Would you mind telling me your setup?
+Troy “Aventador264” Bergeron Setup:
Sector9 Arrow
Caliber precisions
Riptide bushings 90a barrels all around
RAD advantage 78a
+GT DOWNHILL MEDIA Thats a dope setup. Can you give me your opinion on my downhill setup and what I should change.
Sector 9 Mini Daisy
Louis Pilloni Pro Reverse Trucks
Sector 9 70mm Race Formula.
This isn't a super extreme going 60 mph board. The highest ive hit is like 45 mph.
+GT DOWNHILL MEDIA
Ahoj. Já jsem Domezikmen.
Hi. Im Domezikmen.
Your video is nice and super. This is NICE! :)
Troy Bergeron Some Mountains, a Ford, a long board, a camera, and a nice music selection
Looks VERY dangerous ...
Looks dangerous? It IS dangerous. Longboarding is perhaps one of the most dangerous sports. Going 80mph on a long board and one rock or crack in the road and you're in for some serious shit. Possibly deadly, if you impact wrong. Plus, it's the only sport where you're not physically strapped into anything.
Mike Green
I find riding a motorcycle much more dangerous than a Longboard.
Cidao Aparecido Well, obviously. You're sitting between a car engine and you're on two wheels and are capable of travelling 200mph. So yeah, I agree. I think motorcycling is more dangerous than longboarding.
It can be if u don't know how to position yourself right before wrecking its not hard but very fun and very scary going 50 mph on a skate board but that's the fun part looking danger in the face haha I love it
Jarred Mckinney I agree. I love all the dangerous sports lol. I skydive and I skateboard and I longboard and they all have one thing in common. High rates of speed and death or injury can occur at any second.
Also a huge Thumbs up for the camera-person!
Yeah, i saw at the end.
Still, he didnt run the guy down lol
And kept him in frame
More like camera car
haha this is like extreme snowboarding on land! awesome video! :D
I'm surprised there's no cars coming up. Was the cameraman also on a board?
timtimzi ni No, the camera man is in a car behind him, thats why the camera is in such a good position.
it literally shows the follow car in this vid
If you look at the time laps you can see there’s barely any cars on that alpine road
Yes or on a car or motobike watch iboro brothers and subscribe
*hits a pebble*
OML XD
doesn't do much at that speed
and the pebble becomes a bullet.
Drifter7a wouldn't do shit
