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.
Since this video was released, I was 15 years old! Today, at 23 years old, I continue to watch him simply because of the badass energy he has! Detail, I'm Brazilian Sao Luis Maranhão
I'm a 40 years+ guy. For what ever reason, I don't see the dangers here, I just see skills. I know my age bracket tends to shun this type of behavior, but hell, this vid is cool. Great song choice too. Talk about inspiration: Just picked up a sector 9 sentinel. I wont be doing any of this stuff, but the short slopes at my local park will do just fine. should be fun. Again, great video guys, thanks for posting.
+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.
I am learning with longboard at the moment, but one day, no matter how many injures or new desks, I will reach this skill. This video shows how to satisfy your life with speed and freedom at it's finest!
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
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.
Watching videos like this actually inspired me to longboard. I love the feeling of the ride, but there aren't a lot of empty rodes for me to ride on where I am from.
Beautiful video nice cinematography and great skills I don't have a long board yet but I plan to get one in the future but I don't know if I would have the balls to do what you do in a long time
Holy shit im about to move to Colorado to start downhill long boarding Ive never been this happy I look forward to meeting all the skaters and hope you guys smoke Mary Jane lol I love life right now
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.
+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.
How do you guys think I'd do in longboard sliding and stuff (maybe even downhill) if I'm fairly experienced snowboarder? I also have a freestyle longboard that I do some tricks on.
it would be awesome if those roads had camber built into them... designing a mega snake run that was a couple miles long would also be extremely fun...
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
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
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
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!

I have been watching this video over and over again for 6 years! And it is still really sick!
Same here
6 minutes and 39 seconds of pure freedom.
Donnie Darko beautiful freedom
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
I have watched this video all the time when I was 13 and randomly remembered it now 6 years later. The nostalgia is real.
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
I can really appreciate the beauty of the ride
Downhill longboarders are the most underrated heroes in the world, such courage, precision, focus and talent.
Looking at those landscapes with the speed makes me feel so good. Thanks for the great vid.
Since this video was released, I was 15 years old! Today, at 23 years old, I continue to watch him simply because of the badass energy he has!
Detail, I'm Brazilian
Sao Luis Maranhão
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.

+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.
This is by far my favorite downhill longboard video
Stephen is definitely an underrated rider.
Me and all my cousins bought longboard's over a summer onetime. Was not disappointed. Best money ever spent.
Sick man, watching it AGAIN in 2024 and still rocking!!!
I am learning with longboard at the moment, but one day, no matter how many injures or new desks, I will reach this skill. This video shows how to satisfy your life with speed and freedom at it's finest!
Have you reached your goal?

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?

STOP STALKING ME
This inspired me to buy a longboard and learn to ride thank you!!!!!!!!!

Love this video!! And I also love that I don't have to guess your setup because it's in the description.
Sick footage awesome video wow this place really is paradise !!
This is my favourite long boarding video, and it's my life goal to longboard that run!
One of the most underrated vids on here. Shit was insane
Loved the music man🔊🔊
Watching videos like this actually inspired me to longboard. I love the feeling of the ride, but there aren't a lot of empty rodes for me to ride on where I am from.
how can people dislike this? this is freaking awesome
This inspires me to ride my longboard to this day purely because of the music used at the start
Beautiful video nice cinematography and great skills I don't have a long board yet but I plan to get one in the future but I don't know if I would have the balls to do what you do in a long time
It`s the best longboard Video ever !

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
3:25 Looked like an angry driver drafting him
I love that song it's perfect for going downhill on a longbord
Dude you have balls dude sick skating keep it up
Beautiful video! Good job
Man, that's beautiful!
This is really a classic for longboard vids lol
Wow great video this is inspiring a lot of people

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
Beautiful slides.
What kind of wheels dou you need to drift like that?

._,
Sector 9 butterball's

LongBoarding looks fun asf down hills.
how does he not get friction on his hands ? what gloves does he use?
the gloves have Velcro into which you stick a replaceable "puck" which is made of a very low friction plastic.
太酷了, so nice
Really enjoyed the video.
You are so cool dude!!! I wanna be able to that!!
awesome place, really beautiful
Someone get this man a belt. Sick!
this is awesome i wish i could go there to try this for myself
Tate wick I'm interested in that board if you still have it....
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
Geweldig Stephen!!!
Where is this and you did you guys make sure no one else was on the road? This is sick.
Man, this is bomb.
Dope song choices.
That is freakin cool man! WOW!!!
Dude that is sick!!
I finally found it!
Really enjoyed the video. Would you mind telling me your setup?

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

Just amazing, I love it! :)
ma3x3x Du ? hier? xD
ItzPane Bei guten Videos natürlich! :D
How do you guys think I'd do in longboard sliding and stuff (maybe even downhill) if I'm fairly experienced snowboarder? I also have a freestyle longboard that I do some tricks on.
que lugar top. e que esporte contagiante..parabens
que hermoso paisaje😍😍😍😍😍 que otro vídeo así me recomendarían 💜
Wow that's really amazing and very pretty
Can you guys help me? I have a drop through longboard 36 inch. I can't slide on it. The trucks just turn and I can't get the wheels to slide.
it would be awesome if those roads had camber built into them... designing a mega snake run that was a couple miles long would also be extremely fun...
You skated so smoothly you are pro! bty whats the name of the song?
Insane - Flume
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.
wow amazing ! I could watch hours more of this :P
How tf does he not get speed wobbles? Someone please tell me :)
crouch down
tight trucks and the right bushings, soft large wheels, and a downhill deck.
Cameron Gregory thankyou so much!
Aleksis Blancas thankyou
+Meg Griffin no problem mate
nice vid i dont long board but i realy like the speed and how smooth the road wasplus music(wat kind of music names)
BEST VID EVER
Nice! Like the song too.
how loose/tight do your trucks have to be when going downhill? i always have the problem with speed wobbles lol
