That looks awesome-- I'm competing in a couple of weeks going up, and I've never been on the road, so this is really helpful to get a feel for things. The corners look a bit faster than I thought they'd be!
Didn't mean it that way...just found it amazing how we as longboards can be as fast or faster than cars in specific applications such as this wonderful hill.
@adGMondo course you can't go up it faster. There really is no argument here, I was having a laugh with my previous comments. As long as a speedboarder maintains a tight streamlined aero tuck they can hold great speed through each corner.

Gotta watch out for all the cow patties on the road - makes for a slippery mess!

What was your top mph? It doesn't look like you ran the course very hard. Could just be the camera angle though.

@0709ae Can you go up it faster than this?
Plus.. you have less weight, you can physically go faster around the corner.. theory of mass and aerodynamics in relativity to the size of the unit.
Not being mean.

Longboarders and lugers can take those turns faster than a car haha

Yes look at the weight and the mass of a car vs a person on a skateboard plus the fact one is going up and one is going down. Dumb ass!
