I love the sound the wheels make at that speed... Sounds like a jet engine haha
Can you imagine if you speed wobbled... just that few seconds of "Oh shit, this board is going to turn sideways... and im going to die..."

That road will flatten out at a point/he tops out at a speed which he cannot go any faster, and eventually slows down to a more managable speed.
Or he hits one rock and dies.

that's sick, looks like he had a ton of safety equipment on at least, and a few spotter. still looks crazy and scary. the hill probably went up at some point, or maybe it flattened and he was able to slow from there.

at that speed theres nothing you can do but coast to a stop, the slightest movement would cause him to surely bail. At lower speeds you can put down one foot and drag it as a break, run off, or carve out speed.

Im guessing its just one of the mountain passes in colorado where you get down into a park and there is a couple miles of flat road.

that hill will flatten out a bit, then he will 'foot drag', (one foot down, friction causing you to brake)
I'm all about garage bombing, and cruising, speed like that does not look overly appealing...
someone invite me to the longboarders cult please =D

Meh I destroyed myself going maybe... 10.
At least it only hurt my arms though...
And if he was a real man he would powerslide to a stop!!
But how do we know he was going 70?

as for stoping the road must go up at some point and then when he gets to a slower speed he probably does a HUGE powerslide?
there is a pretty big hill down the street from me. And people bomb it at night and they do huge powerslides to stop.
All times are Eastern (-5)
