Colombian Highway Madness // Raw Run

- Опубликовано: 12 апр 2020
- Full raw run of Garret Smith skateboarding down a heavy trafficked Colombian highway, weaving through cars and buses.
Back in 2019, Garret and I ventured down to Medellin, Colombia to skate some of the gnarliest hills in the world, and to get it on camera. This highway is extremely iconic down there for skaters, and of course Garret had to film a run down it. Unfortunately for us, the morning we set out on this mission, the traffic was higher than we were hoping. Still sent it though! Soooo, enjoy as Garret fearfully skates down an open highway, passing anything in his way. -Spud

It’s amazing how fast he is going, taking into consideration the factors for aerodynamics and the size of his balls.
Lol!
That was funny
Jaja
That might just be my favourite ever internet comment. Seriously. Kudos.
😆
I feel like this has crossed that line between "extreme sports" and "attempted suicide."
It's at least Russian roulette
Cousin Bryan That's just ignorant.
Alot of us toe the line,alot of us heel it. The point is they call it the edge for a reason. We are all here, because we are not all there.
Looking into the other side is not attempted suicide it is visionary. The otherside of what's "possible"
It's the transparency of the Vail of language to reality that surprises the masses. There is more possible than most accept. Life is not words, it is acceptance of wave forms. Look here how easily a human can defy fear and utilise wave forms and gravity to transport self beyond "possible" . Many wear the scars of a vision earned. Vision beyond "possible".
Capturing the video and publishing it may set free the minds of those afraid to have a near life experience. Achieve eyes that see the waves of excellence. Speak the language of dance and wear the scars that set you free with honor. Great video content! 👍 every video and comment. It is a great big world
Edited comment to clean up grammar.
@@travisc1820 your spelling was pretty offensive
I have no feelings of empathy for people who hurt themselves in these kinds of situations, id just laugh if they run into a wall at those speeds.
The cameraman deserves a golden lens for his work!
It’s a car
Lens Armstrong :)
This guy has atom balls, swinging side to side like a pendulum keeping him perfectly balanced regardless of angle or speed. Impressed indeed.
😂🤣
Gyroscopic grundle
The joyful shout he does at the very end encapsulates the feeling of "holy shit I'm still alive" perfectly.
Yeah loved that part, happy as a kid
The confidence he has in that helmet is truly impressive.
The conference he has to think the roads are swept 🙅
@Brian lol 😆 🤣😂🤣
@@murdakush4206 that is why he is not using the bike lane
Shit the amount of confidence he has in himself. What if the cars infront of him just stop all of a sudden.
*policia
Kudos to Colombia for the high quality of their roads.
Brother can u tll me how this guy continuously going without pushing the skateboard? I want to know the reason
@@MUSCLECHADhe was going downhill
@@joshivix6641 Naa he wasn't, there are some videos where he goes straight road without stopping. Ig it's because of the wheel and the way he use position to increase the speed
@@MUSCLECHAD oh alright
@@joshivix6641you were correct down hill 😊 !
I can’t imagine some dude passing me up on a skateboard lol! This is a whole different type of a badass…extreme sports are definitely not for everyone. Super impressive man, stay safe!
Exactly, can you imagine driving down the highway and looking out your side window and seeing this dude blow your doors off on a skateboard? So impressive!
the fact that he's passing other cars is insane, welldone
that must have been thinking 'what just happened'
Yeah, in the 30 (MPH?) zone. Low camera angle makes it look super fast though.
@@Danger8255 definately not 30. maybe in some of the flat and uphill locations, you're clearly a troll.
Breadbowl signs Said 30
yusuf munter and he was going faster than the cars. Lol. Think...
That pot hole he missed and got the wobbles and pulled it off !!!! IMPRESSIVE 👍🏼👌🏼
69 likes
I missed it... damn, am I blind ?
@5:25
He almost died there 😟😣😕😩😩😩 can’t take that kinda stress lol I’m out
With the short sketchy coleman and a minibus on the next lane... God damn that was terrifying
You, Mr Garret just entered my city Medellin from the East along a road we call Las Palmas. Ive done the run 1000s of times on a motorbike...but surely never expected to see so much confidence, technique and youthfulness! My respects for what you have achieved...remember you are playing with probabilities, be careful please!
5:24 Most critical moment. I'm impressed how you controlled it. I think I was more shocked watching it than you were driving 😅
The speed wobble is gnarly
Ya that wobble was gross!!!! I gasped and shit lol
:0
And there's a bus right behind him makes more Insane 🔥
Speed wobble right next to a bus
I guess there’s a point in ones life where when you reach this level of skill and precision you have a literal soul bond with your board. You’re connected to your board man.
Exactly. I guarantee he is the one who set that board up for this ride. So he knew his trucks and wheels would be set right.
Seems like there's a point where they dont give a f--k
#FACTS well said I'm a skateboarder so what u said is true
This was recommended to me dude
He will bond with the payment soon going that fast. 🤣
Driver: there's a man waving at me in my mirror
Passanger: no he's using his air break
😂😂😂
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well
When you do extreme things you feel so alive! Keep on living man, life's short.
You're absolutely right
Doing that can make your life a lot shorter.
If he ends at the Rear of a car FOR SURE IS GOING TO BE A LOT SHORTER.
big shout out to the road contractor and the local leaders of medellin. Damned what a highway.
Yes you would not do that in the uk you would drop into a hole and never come out
This is what I desire. 😟
@@neiltitmus9744 we kind of have to do that, the entire region its like a rugged paper, you cant go 1k anywhere without some huge mountain or valley in the way
thank pablo escobar
In the middle of the road someone yells "Do a kickflip" xDD
El Mike at least he’d make 100 bucks 😜😂
"I'm on a longboard bro!"
Tony Hawk: Do a kickfl-
Guy: Passes
Tony Hawk: Ah nvm...
LOL!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😂
they would of said “hacer un kickflip”
This is by far the best run I've ever seen in my life. Seriously down a highway and he's passing people lol!!! Thats sick af
this is definitely top 5 if not just flat out #1 gnarliest thing I’ve ever seen on the internet
Just watched a guy surf a hundred foot wave at Nazarre, just as close
A combination of skateboarding, motorcycle road racing and flat track. Amazing.😊😊😊😊😊😊
The fact that he has to air break for the cars infront of him is what gets me. Imagine getting passed by a longboarder.
What's the speed limit?
I wonder how many people lost their eyes bugging out at the sight.
He's exceeding the speed limit, they're not.
5:24 that speed wobble was scary as f**k
I felt that.
Trueee
So close
I saw him playing harp in heaven...
I would have ate shit and died.
5.27! 😮 I was scared for you there. Brilliant ride, made me laugh and smile 😎
Damn!! ..he's overtaking vehiculos ..Q chevre, Q padre, Q cool ..mucha adrenalina hombre ..salud de India !!
I’m from Medellín, las palmas is one of the most dangerous highways to do that! Insane hermano respeto.
Esto tambien lo hacen en medellín bastante, hay un canal que se llama " elazotenoro" y donde muestran gente haciendo y hablando sobre esto. Un locura tirarse a esa hora del día pero este man hizo la hazaña que locura.
Ve el video kings of mud de valhalla skate ese es el video donde se conocio esta pista , de manera mas internacional .saludos de chile
I don't see that, nobody pushed him and street was almost flawlessly good
Have you ever seen any cartels?
@@rafiashraf2769 the cartels have not existed for decades
Shot out to the camera man tho!
It’s a drone...
Wait no it’s a car
@@kenzumaki8085a a bike perhaps
Charlie H no, he replied on a comment stating that it was indeed a car with a camera attached to it filming
Kenzuッ that car is fucking close to him
This is absolutely incredible. The guy is really gifted
This is the best performance I've ever seen 💪😎
Boss: "I need you on the otherside of medellin in 5 mins"
Him:" Hold my Beer"
Me: Yeah guys he bought it. SICK DAY!!!

I wish I had this amount of control of my life as this man has on that board.

@skattergraph it was a joke my man
@M. Di Federico Can I get your number? This is the best pick-up line I've ever heard!

@@Thestowawaystories Nice try
Phenomenal teamwork! Amazing recovery at 5:26! Absolutely beautifully done! Such a poetic hill bomb! Ride or Die! Skate for life!
You should have your own super star video game like Tony Hawk seriously! Amazing job!!
Mum: "Where were you today Son?"
Son: "Just out playing in traffic"
🤣🤣🤣
Beating you home from work
Imagine looking over and seeing this dude shoot past ur car at 60 mph
Freaking dangerous
Its kilometers per hour
Nah its mph
LOL
If it was kph it wouldnt be that fast
.... so im right😁
This guy is a total fearless badass!!!
Fearless and excellent control.
Coffin dancers: "The one that skated away"
I have went this fast on a board before in the 90's. I found my self biting down during his powerslides. I could almost feel the vibration under my feet. I lived vicariously through this video. I can't skate any more so THANK YOU.
What happened?
@@fredrickolman9937 he got older dipshit
Matt From WII it really be like that sometimes
I am afraid to go for downhill after all these years
I think that if I ll fell I am going to break in small pieces
Back in 90s was great
Matt From WII I thought he got paralyzed or somthing
Your courage will never be questioned.
Great crazies are great doers! You rock, dude!!
I think it's the length of the run that gets me. That is a long time to keep up that kind of focus. Amazing!
I can agree to that, not for everyone. Thanks tho!
@@spud4k that was a compliment though!
@@spud4k I'm admiring how long he kept the focus going! Especially when he got the wobbles.
@@unicornsandrainbowsandchic2336 Oh i just thought you meant in general watching 8 minutes! hahaha. Thank you! Its hard yet also weirdly easy to stay focused like that while on a board
@@spud4k omg hahaha I can see how it came across like that 😅
Honestly lost count of the number of times I've watched this. Its got to be one of the best videos on RUclips. There are sooo many time stamps one could mention. You could stick this on a large screen with a good sound system into a gallery and call it Art. The immense joy he obviously feels at the end, the fact that for a good few seconds spent waveing his arms around he can't vocalise. What a buzz he must get. So pure, pure audacity to pull it off, pure skill, pure joy of liveing in the moment.
Bless you! Really appreciate this comment. Dropping a run of 3 locals on the same highway in the middle of the night sometime this week. Stay tuned!
@@spud4k Hey guys are you aware that a RUclips channel called ViralSnare Rights Management are showing this vid (lower quality) on their channel ? Hope they paid you well ;)
Your comment was epic .
@@milton1969able Sadly am aware. Was told Id get paid well, haven't received a dime, and its been three months. Extremely WACK company
@@spud4k Wankers :(
Man this is not a click bait this is madness 🤷🏽🤷🏽🫡
Best ride I have seen on RUclips. In traffic, passing cars, really impressive! You've got guts!
I appreciate that the camera man is running super fast
lol
Lol
xd
I've seen this a lot on downhill videos recently, is this some sort or running joke?
@@robinpohl2702 yes,the camera man it’s actually in a car don’t worry
amazed at how the board stayed in one piece after that run. Imagine how hot those wheels must have been
hot wheels to another level
Those wheels are fine they are designed for this kind of riding. They are mach 1 wheels they were on the board with the world record downhill run that did 98mph.
Adam Aref - "They were designed for this" No shit Sherlock, they still must've been hot though
@@thebirchwoodtree damn, you don't have to be a dick about it

Yeah don't be a FUCKIN Dick
Just amazing 👏 what a pleasure to watch 😱👍
THE BEST DOWNHILL SKATEBOARDING VIDEO IVE EVER SEEN
I'm wondering what was going through the minds of the drivers when they saw a guy on a skateboard passing them by at blinding speeds.
“That guy is gonna die for sure” lol
nice.
Milo Zabál we don’t need to. You hate yourself plenty
Milo Zabál why would you get off heroin? Life is pretty miserable without it once you’ve gotten a taste
Milo Zabál funny predicament. Born 99 here . That question was genuine . I ran out of subs Sunday and picked up some 20s. Sure life has more “worth” and memories are more precious when sober but the mental anguish of knowing what your missing out on is too strong at times. I always tell myself I’ll get bored and tired of it one day . Maybe one day
His gf : Babe. Can you give me a ride home?
Him : Sorry. I don’t have a car.
His gf: What? You said you were on a highway yesterday.
Him : 🥴
yeah, I was colecting junk for money
LMAO
What is lmao??????

That looks fun as heck. Very exhilarating to watch
I swear I watched the whole video non stop, that looks sooo funny 🤩 I wanna try it😢😂
I’ve never experienced this much anxiety for your life, but now I’m addicted to watching these.
Perfect Speech.
You should try it man! It's an amazing hobby I used to board everywhere I went for years. So much fun to cruise down some monster hills or just casually stroll
I wonder how he can turn so smoothly with those giant pair of balls he's got
Lol, they have special properties for dealing with hairy situation.
Lol
@@sheateeley1 wow, you sound like a blast to hang out with
Lol, he has his balls safe in his hands, after they decided move from his pelvis, hard part will be getting them back to pelvis after the run 🤫.
There is 1 guy more with the camera both are great.
moving among the cars at that speed was very spectacular and dangerous, so thumbs up.👍👍👍
00:25 bike dude had a story to tell that day 😅
That run is beyond. Special breed. Thanks and take care ;-)
The camera man sure is a fast runner...
Where is he in the olympics?
It's a Gopro
Ahmed Walid you can hear the heavy breathing. Damn that’s a very long run at high speed.

The camera man is recording from a car.
Officer: “ yeah the other day I caught a real crazy kid speeding on the highway.”
Person. “Yeah the kids these days are crazy. What type of car was it?”
Officer: “he was on a skateboard”
Person: 😐

LMAO!!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@vlweb3d maybe no
This need to be in the next Fast & Furious…..maaddd respect from Dadli 🇦🇬👍🏿👍🏿🔥🔥
I remember my old school Powell-peralta with long board wheels and independent trucks. I grabbed the back of a truck and the guy went 60 over a bridge. 60 on a board is FAST! I even jumped the breathers on the bridge. Wow was that intense. This guy is going faster than 60 at times I believe
This feels even more intense since I've been down that road dozens of times and have heard about BIKERS that have died going downhill.
Milo Zabál yep he’s a lop...
@ Eh whatever, it looks cool.
@ bla bla bka fick u
@ if he dies he dies dont give a fuck about his fuckin life just appreciate that he didnt accidentally kill anybody
He's not alone on that road you moron. He can still ruin a lot of other people's lifes. Imagine him crashing into a packed Family-Van. Then dad has to explain the the blood on the windshield and the dead body under the car to the four year old's in the back.
I would love to see the other drivers expressions as they see him pass them
🤣
I think they can't believe what they see !!!
“CONCHA SU MADRE!!”
😱😱😱
wow...that was awesome ! I dont think my buddies and I have ever watched an 8min RUclips video in utter silence before ! exciting, skillful..insane ! that had it all !
Brave and crazy....amazed how you can slow the longboard at such high speed
great example of absolute confidence, skill and no fear. I salute you . great vid to show your kids someday. grandmaster of the board wow
if he manages to survive to have kids XD . At least his balls are in the top 100 big ballers XD
This deserves to be an Olympic sport, skill is off the scale
People would fall at a moments notice and such high rates of speed....whats the worse that could happen
@@namexwithheld it would be comparable to downhill skiing
@@jgp7414 fair enough
@@namexwithheld professional motorcycle riders often fall over 200KM/H. Falling is safe as long as the road width is large enough and there are no obstacles the rider can hit. Assuming the rider has full leathers, armor and a good helmet, he'll pretty much surely walk it off. Also longboarder's will mostly ride at 60-80 range so given they don't hit each other, they will be pretty safe.
@@namexwithheld you’re acting like the luge doesn’t already exist.
This is hands down the best and most ballsy skating I have ever seen in my life. Just amazing how you can control your speed through traffic
Don't know what was more impressive, the speed he was going, the traffic he was keeping up with or the traffic he was passing. Either way impressive skill
I have only one word "WOW". The speed, mind boggling balance between the traffic. He is not a steel frame. Just a body of flesh and bones. 👍👍
Awesome dude very nice wheels they work perfect and that road remained on my lap on the Mexico Toluca road thank you!
OMG!!!...that dude is so awesome not only was he riding on a very busy highway but his board was going at top speed and he did not lose control of it...he is the man lol
I feel like leaving my skateboard outside with a sign that says 'free to someone with balls' because after watching this I feel like I have none
😆
No, you may have balls but this dude is like a few dozen balls… Or one big huge ball
@@xvillin he is a special breed of human
@ go live a little, man.
Fine line betwen balls and a death wish this truly is a gamble with your life yeah it's insane to watch but i'ts a roll of a dice.And sooner or latter your names etched on to a stone of rememberance or worse he's taking a big gamble on people seing him before they kill him and spending there days truamatised by it.
I think I chewed all my finger nails off watching this! The guy is an amazing athlete!
Don't worry I just went through a bottle of Vodka by watching this and now I see twice much cars. Shers
How he handled that speed wobbling! wow!
Beautiful and mesmerizing. I wish I could be that brave.
When you ask your parents how they got to school
😂😂
LOL
Except it was uphill
Ummmm, I do not see any volcanoes 🤨
везде родители одинаковые.😳
We dont just wake up one day and say, "let me hit 70 mph or more in traffic". No, we work our way up to this stuff. We dial in our technical skills at lower speeds, tweaking and adjusting everything as we hit higher speeds. For me, I learned everything on the same few hills. Starting closer to the bottom, then starting from further points up the hill. Along with dialing in our skills, we also change our equipment along the way. To the idiot who made the remarks of going faster than 40 and the helmet not doing anything. What the hell do you think people wear on motorcycles? Its not a deathwish. Its a wish to feel alive. Of all the people who know the risks, we know them better than any poser sitting on their mom's couch relying on auto-correct to convey their idiocy to the world with their comments.
Amen 🙏🏾
Ouch kiss it and make it better medic we need a burn specialist and maybe a mortician
was it a car that fallowed? or a bike?
beautiful comment.
@@jackwoods535 I wish it were me filming this. My skills are definitely nowhere near what is needed for this gnar.
5:25 to 5:28 (3) seconds of the lord beeping down from the sky and taking care of this man. WOW.
Unbelievable skills man. Your confidence is amazing
There are so many things I can’t understand. 🤯 Staying hyper concentrated for such a long time is already intense when watching and that is no comparison to being in the rough streets where I come to the second point. The endurance of his legs is unreal. Third would be the material. Insane how durable this skateboard on such a high speed rpm on rough streets is.
I just love this , bravo! That board is setup just right.
Im 57 now but we did some crazy stuff in my early twenties. Dudes are rocking.
Very cool 👍👍
I'm still riding a luge at 53
I am also impressed with the camera work and the quality of that highway, no potholes.
That’s incredible balance and insanity all in one
I always wanted to do that , but I'm afraid to die
I'm afraid of getting seriously hurt and living like that for the rest of my life, not the dying part
@@keko7804 Yeah the dying part is easy, the hurting sucks!
Nothin grand came from being scared...ever.
@@Ragnar676 unless it was scared to eat shit while cruising down the highway so you turn on god mode
@@aacc8466 for real...thats why i havent done it yet....i figure if i do it im gonna wear layers and some pads. My issue is i havent gotten or really done the drift or slide yet to deal with high speed turns...cause i figure in order to do so i need to be goin fast enough but with my slightly big ass im goin to crash a few times till i get it...and again protection till i perfect it...but when and where i can manage to do some of this safley & comfortably i attempt it....im 35 and i probably shouldnt board or bmx all hardcore sort like i do but i can't help it...its fun....i had some or an old aquaintince once ask me when i was like 32.... He asked don't you think your a little old to be skating?... I felt insulted...i almost said to his 50 year old ass and wanted to say aren't you a little old to be driving....i was like are you serious todd ungrem i think is sort of how ya spell it but that guy is like 76 and is shreddin it better than most to this day...he's the old guy in the advil or Tylenol comercial...like age is just a number.....god mode activate.
This shows just how much fuel we waste in vehicles to overcome air drag.
This only works cos it's downhill tho
Y'all don't get it.
What he means is: look how much power is needed just to beat air resistance, if there was no air resistance, a small engine could propel a car considerably faster with less fuel consumption
@@dabelli3818
*I agree with you human.*
*it's the same thing with bicycles, the wind fights against you and makes one work harder to cover the same distance. *
*Butt farting a lot add thrust to propel one faster ( ; )*
*Thank God for beans.*
No, the cars were keeping to the speed limit, the boarder was not.
