Damn Nuge is the man. Those guys were lucky that such a gnarly dude was driving the van 'cos it takes balls to still think efficiently when the shit's actually hitting the fan.
This kind of situations feel much more intense for the person driving than the passengers. He had all the responsability for the lives of people on board while some didnt even realize what happened until the end
South African here: Cars are inspected when they leave the brand new showroom. that's it. If you buy a van or a car in South Africa you buy it as it is so no MOT or Inspection. Most cars and Vans will fail your standard Inspection if put through it. So the breaks going is a common one because van rental companies don't have time or want to spend the money to fix stuff. it eats into their profit.
As much traveling these dudes have done they probably have endless Knarly ass story’s..Nuge is the shit! Van full of legends! Rest In Power PStone* Phelper*
I met don randomly walking in the street, super kool guy asked me where the a store was. I didnt acknowledge I knew who he was just went about are business lol.
In the heat of the moment im sure it would have been hard to figure out how to keep them alive but if it was a manual transmission he could of used the engine to break 🤷🏾♂️. Still dope he got them out alive on this one. Nuge is a goat
I thought this too.. but it wouldn't have done much in 1st gear. Also if the brakes failed I'm worried if the clutch may have failed after extensive engine braking. Definitely worth a shot though
I know here in the states they have mandatory stops and brake checks while going down mountains and hills. I’m not sure what the reason is for brake failure like this. Is it the pads and rotors or something to do with the hydraulics like the pistons or a line or something?
no South Africa don't have car inspections after you buy the car. You pay a car tax for the car to be on the road but that could mean any car in any condition.
Vincent, what I mean is before you start down a mountain road or a steep hill there are street signs that tell you to tap your brakes to make sure they are working. For heavy trucks they even have places for them to pull over to give their braking system time to cool down. They also have these areas towards the bottom that are places you can turn off into, it’s a roadway filled with loose gravel and deep sand that slows you down and brings them to a stop. Not a tax or inspection sticker.
His quick thinking to turn left and not continue going down the hill saved them. If he kept going down the hill they would have picked up more speed and would all have died. So thats how he saved it.
Dudes such a good story teller
Lol good one

“He filmed it like a fucking war journalist “😂
After watching this guy bomb the 5th steepest hill i knew i was gonna like him. glad u saved it Holmes fr.
Umm first guy to Ollie El Toro on film? Do you even skate!?!?
@Carson Johnny omg that guy is a skateboarding legend. Just look at what he's done.
I think this ranks up there with Cowboy Cerrones cave diving story for best story told on a podcast.
Fuck yes this is the comment I didn't know I wanted to read haha
I saw the footage, when Nuge's face when they all get out let's you know he thought they were all gonna die. Many more Blessings Nuge.
Sauce?
@@ThomasColtrain sweet baby rays.
You ain’t a real skateboard til you confuse brakes with trucks agah

Dude this was a story about life and death and nuge made it one of the funniest stories ive ever heard.
Thank God Nuge was driving. He's the man.
Legendary dude, legendary storytelling

if it was an automatic it probably would have been a different story. good job Nuge!
You’re dead, dead.. lmao
@Bennybass park is neutral with a tiny metal pin holding things still. If you have enough force to break it you're just in neutral.
Classic Nuge
Idk who tf these guys are but this is a hellbof a story. I gotta watch the whole thing!
What's crazy is he was ready to die for his boys.

He's saying he's in 1st, so I guess that's what he was trying to do. Can't do much when the hill is too steep though.
I thought this too.. but it wouldn't have done much in 1st gear. Also if the brakes failed I'm worried if the clutch may have failed after extensive engine braking. Definitely worth a shot though

“Shit, brakes are out?”
I lived in south Africa for 2 years and those fuckin quantum always give out
He bombed Baxter with a board, and a village hillside with a van. Gnar...
I hope the boards are okay : ((
Here is the actual clip of the crash:

If they died, it’s like the skate equivalent to losing Richie Valens, the Big Bopper and Buddy Holly in that plane crash.... but, worse.
Dan McKinney who’s that
@@fuckem8136 Buddy Holly? Jesus Christ I was born in 97 and I even know that
Merle haggard..
Glad Nuge saving it. The Boss would be pissed he lose best riders and even Phelps in there.
Always put in low gear happened to me if auto go to 3 2 1 stick down shift fast
@Bennybass lmao that's how manual cars work right?
Where’s the footage
Pstone lived right down the street from me🤗✨🛸🌵📐👀💀🎰 and typing this still watching, and El Toro Is now gone 🤮🤧💩🤺
Yo what the fuck this is insane
Rip Pstone
FUCKN LEGEND LOL
It explains why the breaks went out , he should’ve kept it in a low
PROUD_BRIT he said he had it in first
Why not Down shift?
He was on first gear already bapi
@Bennybass it's a manual transmission. There's no park.
@Bennybass Please for the sake of everyone on the road, never attempt to drive.
Captain Nuge...
What that’s crazy
gotta keep off your brakes so you have them when you need them. Hill driving aint easy. Old manual trucks have really low gears under 1st to slow down
There wasn’t a parking brake?
Sandy, overheated, drum brakes
Here's the clip: ruclips.net/video/PKQTVC3ZGp4/видео.html
Atleast it was manual transmission so they could down shift

Nuge sure is good at bombing hills
Wait...it was a manual? Did he not know how to engine or even clutch brake?
He literally says it was in first, with the handbrake up
Welcome to South Africa! This is Bat country
Come on man
Who u gone blame they took the weong path
count how many times you hear the word 'Like'
Sooo...how was he saved the day after the brakes went out?? Guess I missed it :/
His quick thinking to turn left and not continue going down the hill saved them. If he kept going down the hill they would have picked up more speed and would all have died. So thats how he saved it.
You are supposed to shift into the lowest gear, then engine braking stops you speeding away.
Please, go away.
🤦🏼♂️ hopefully you're trolling.
