For the homies who have never done any downhill freeriding, the fact that this is a 93a wheel that 1. Sounds that smooth during a slide 2. Doesn't ice out at 50+ mph 3. Actually hooks back up after a slide is simply incredible. Powell, y'all have made magic ❤️
@@SandlapperSam I think it depends on the wheel and how fast you are going. 93A Dragons are very slidey. I'm able to slide on Powell Peralta 85A Soft Slide Formula. You have to put more effort into those. I also have Powell Peralta 75A Snakes, which I found not very slideable, or fun at all, despite them being called "Soft Slide Formula". I'm not a downhiller though. I think to get those to slide, you need to be going really fast. Those things pretty much roll over anything though.
@@vorpalblades Duerr? I've never seen it. The one he's riding in the video is JM Duran. I have it. I think it's my favorite deck actually. Even though it has a huge wheelbase, 27".
The JM Duran Flight deck he is riding is sick as hell too. I got one and it's awesome. It's got a 27" wheelbase, but, has a normal skateboard nose and tail.
Damn I haven't heard JM Duran's name in a long, long long time. I used to watch him in Sector 9 videos. Was always my favorite skater from that era. I remember him sliding at the end of the run and stopping right next to these 2 chicks walking. He's all "what's up ladies"? Ah man it's the best
It could be a challenge, for Powell Peralta's team, here in Chili 🇨🇱, in the center of the city there is a hill called San Cristobal, the descents with many curves so far I have not seen the great international Skaters take a challenge like this .
Looks like bones bushings to me @ 3:03. Indy's are great if you tweak them a little. I've seen people skate them at 50 to 60kmh without a problem. It's all in the ankle stability :)
@@benjaminduerr5455im running a ban this deck cabellaro flight deck on thunder 161 hollows there largest size and powell (ssf) 82a blue wheels they look like the snakes but they are 59/58mm i believe. They slide excellent. Should i give the bones hard bushings a go? And also tighten my trucks up ? I run real loose but i also dont go down insane hills like this . That was absolutely amazing . I'm trying to get better at downhill like this with the board i have instead of a quote "Longboard" and this is exactly what i needed to see man . Simply incredible absolutely ridiculous...
oh man, leaning into the air at speed like that, looks so good. i say that having experienced free fall over 150 times. longboard is the shit! is that even a longboard? freefall is easy, this takes some serious skill and guts!
Should have a warning saying not to attempt unless on a closed course and please wear safety gear if you do. Good way to get hurt or worse if met uncoming traffic.
This is tame compared to the other downhill videos I've seen. Especially, the ones in South America. I saw one where a guy was blazing and even flew right over a section where there was kind of like a river flowing over the road. He was flying over sand that had washed over the road, torn up sections of asphalt, etc., like it was nothing. You have to be suicidal to do that.

10 yrs ago we though that is impossible. Damn
He was going fast, but, was it actually greater than 50?
@@idmhead0160 def not
What durometer of wheel can to start sliding with? I have a hard time sliding on anything softer that 92a. Am I doing it wrong or is that normal?

Popping into that 5.0 power slide... beautiful
Powell Peralta, at the vanguard of skateboarding innovation.
powell forever
Once again the confidence of the rider is reinforced by the superiority of his equipment, Dragon Formula,"FEAR NO SURFACE"
This guy is the slide master. Cool to see that Powell is publishing his videos. He deserves to at least be on flow
He has a deck on Powell.

@@idmhead0160 shit, my mistake.
@@vorpalblades No problem dude. My mistake also. The wheelbase is 17", not 27".
GEORGE POWELL IS AN ABSOLUTE GENIUS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN! My 56mm Dragons changed my life.
Shoutout to the cameraman!!!!
Epic chase car filming
he has to be on a bike or something
Guys, This Ain't Shit. Check out "Dragon Sliders" from Powell Peralta. Insane!! I only ride dragons now, the green urethane too!
Wow 2:15 when the nose and front wheels picked up…..way to pull through that. Dude was hauling.
Wow! That was super rad!
🤘😁👍
We moving Difuerrent out here. Don't stop, get it - get it! Keep rollin' holmes.
Incredible ride, thanks for sharing so much!

@@andrewoverhere8525 Yes, I saw that video. It's a good one.
jeez man, these backside power slides are beyond me. absolutely bonkers. i guess on top of that anderson deck, ill need some dragon wheels.
thank you ben
welcome to downhill skateboarding
@@skankwave5245 yeah i guess its kinda normal. still very impressive to my average joe ass :D
Amazing,I almost fell out of my chair.That would be awesome in VR
Skateboard wheels REVOLUTIONIZED ⚔
Wow! Amazing footage. Only an on screen speedo would enhance. Dragon formula ftw💥
@@shaunsolomon3229 hahaha, made me cackle😂
GNARLY as hell!
amazing!
The fact it comes to a downhill dead end is sweet
That was crazy bro
This looks like it was filmed somewhere in NC.

Welcome to Powell/Peralta…you’re welcome.
Backside speed checks✔️
So dope. all I ride is bones
Top of the morning 🌄🍻
2 me it's even better than a 80's thriller movie
ben is built DIFFERENT
Nice!
you have the juice. you have total control of your fear. you owned that hill but most of all your a bad ass
Bon jour Ben Duerr 🫒☮️🐉
Wow!!!
was the filmer on a board? because got damn
Dope! I'd love to see an edit with music.
hell no i want to hear the wheels lol do you want music in porn too?
highest respect 🤙🏻🙌🏻🛹💨🔥
He looked so electric at the end of the run I was worried for the guy that hugged him
I just ordered this deck and wheels to learn to slide on. Get rekt, friction!
How can he ride indys downhill
They kick you off at more than 30 km/h
Has he modified them with special bushings?

Didn't think about my ankles at all
I have hard bones bushings in these Indy’s

Nice power slide
1:19 check all the Dragon teeth marks on the road 🤙😇🐉🫒
They're all over the hill it's hilarious 😂
Damn, he is haulingass. And he's not putting his hands down when doing slides either.
Silky

@@powellperalta I had no idea these 64mm Dragons were this fast ! I'm glad I got mine in green !!!
@@burtman9649 The green ones are made of dragon blood. That's why they roll faster

cool
