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!!!

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 😂

@JAffacakeSON BLAHA people who get r/wooshed always say the DUMBEST shit back😂😂😂
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
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
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
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.
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
Imagine doing ollie now
Killer Rabbit legend has it he’s still trying to land that Ollie 😂😂😂
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.
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.
he's still going till this day trying to stop lol

bruh
Like if people drive the speedlimit.
I just started longboarding and I have a santacruz octo diver... I love it
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.
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
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
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
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
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!😅
legend has it he's still rolling through the hills today
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!
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!
Hell yes! That was sick as hell! Downhill skaters are insane. Mucho respect.
Good ole Colorado, love living here and long boarding on long hills like this and the scenic views
Hey dude, now that's what I'm talking about man, you rock n roll the road.
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.
Just seeing the slightest wobble made me pucker a few times. Well done!
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. ^^
I've done 94.4 but I had diarrhea.
Km/h
That's just incredible. Congrats, Kyle!
He absolutely crushed it! So awesome!
Legend says he still didn’t stop

Imagine if he got speed wobble
He would probably crap himself
He did but it was controlled
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 ;)

Right

He went pass the speed limit.Where’s the cops at?
Trying to catch up.
Perfect Brilliant Video All The Best And Good luck To You All.
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 😂.
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

Surprised his wheels didn't catch fire..
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
Such a beautiful skateboard deck, can someone please tell me what deck he is using??
God dam it!! I wanted him to get a road rash
adrenalina pura muito foda
Congrats to Mr. Wester and the team that helped with this. Merica!
the legend says hes still going
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
And I'm proud of going 30 mph on my longboard 😥
“did you change your wheels?”
“🌝...yeah”
feels great man
Legend has it hes still going to this day
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.
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.
Legend has it, he's still going today.
Guy that beat the record: let’s do this!
The skateboards wheels: I’m done.
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
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??
Legend has it that he's still trying to stop after this.
Amazing!! Which board is that??
What was the name of the longboard? I know it's a Santa Cruz one but have no idea what it's called
Not a Santa Cruz, it's a Rayne Vandal with Santa Cruz stickers
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
legend has it he is still going
Your a Savage Bro😎😁😆😜 I only ride Landyacht or Santa Cruz and I Super love technical speed downhilling.. that run was Rad as Fuk😜😎
Not RIDICULOUS speed....
LUDICROUS speed!

Long board or cruiser? I already have a normal skateboard so If I ever wanna do tricks I'll use it but I want something for cruising, what's faster? A cruiser or a long board?
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!
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!
“Why’d you get a ticket today?”

I question whether not I should show this to my son, 15 years old, 6’ 2” tall, yeahhhhh….. I will. Thanks for more inspiration
Skateboard: *EXISTS*
Crack in the road: *I'm gonna end this whole mans career*
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.
Bro…Epic. I want you to sign my Loaded Fathom!
1:18 kid: i want a car
Mom: we have a car at home
*the car at home*
How do you stop? Hop off and slide?
We can probably assume the hill evens out and then inclines at some point. I doubt he jumps off or drags anything behind him to slow down lol
he probably air braked (stand up and expanding your body to have more surface area of wind to hit) or he slide the board to a stop
wing suit
***** not sure if you've been longboarding past 60mph, but air braking slows you down quite a bit.
Just jump off and run it off, hope the board doesn't get run over.
How do you stop when going that fast?
Parachute
Either really fast or slow. It depends.
+MRSketch09 great answer
they slide, through the board sideways.
I doubt you would tslide when your going 90mph, and i doubt you would use a parachute because the force would jerk you off of the board
The legend says he is still rolling
Great video Houston Texas
