[Codius26]

@stellarsydnee Well tell me hight and weight and how long the board is. It's either you have really loss trucks, loss wheel nuts, or hardware.

[TDLakaDavidLover]

i really want to try this, but what if a car comes the opposite way? ><

[JimDogger118]

Fuck I love Longboarding =)

[ndrago15]

[Codius26]

[BackUpTheHill]

Is that "Devils Elbow" at 2:00?

(it's on a mountain road that starts with A).

[MrEmerican]

You better hope u nvr fall going down that hill @ 2:00

[TheLaced]

going mad fast

[snorockerlp360]

Those are some awesome spots. What passes did you bomb down?  If you don't want to give away your riding spots I understand.

[DonoghEnterprises]

only 'pass' we did was Baker. which is very dangerous by the way. in 09 a guy slid off a cliff and fractured his pelvis, got a major concussion and a bunch of other crap. He was in an induced coma for a month and spent a year in recovery. know your limits!!! @snorockerlp360

[cuzz467]

only stuff that ever scares me or just makes me think a couple times about bombing hills is if they have cliffs.falling of ridge's like those makes me crap my pants

[MACHETIEKILLER941]

and biffing at that speed

[APPLEPIE978]

the hill at 2:00 look sooo fucking scary.

[Vi3tSk8r]

those are some fast mother fuckers!

[Hitankill]

i did something similar to this, this week, not as dangerous, but man it was fucking intense good balance guys

[JordanUberbombs]

yeah dennis the mennis!

[jacob0206]

wat would be the baisic lesson on keeping ur board from wobbleing? cuz i feel 2 days ago and dislocated my shoulder and i NEEED to know how to do this.....

[makeshiftbong]

tighten ur trucks man

[DonoghEnterprises]

loose trucks save lives! tight trucks kill! @makeshiftbong

[makeshiftbong]

@DonoghEnterprises i wasnt talking to the makers of this video guy, only the commenter before me, get ur shit right before u comment :)

[DonoghEnterprises]

@makeshiftbong my comment still holds true.

[Mathieublanglois]

Buy you trucks that are closer from de ground. With a smaller angle. Tithing bushing helps but it's not the best. And pratice, this is the key

[longboardthunderbay]

Lean forward, and put most of your weight on your front foot. The More weight you have on your front foot the less you'll speed wobble. Tightening your trucks can help to, but it doesn't work 100%.

[BackUpTheHill]

The problem with tight trucks is that they delay wobbles for a little while, but when you get them they aren't as manageable. The most important thing is just to relax and let your legs absorb whatever's going on beneath you. Practice helps.

[BigCanOfBeans]

@longboardthunderbay Over the front truck, and centred.

[Adamalama14]

crave out of wobbles... or but ur hand down.. to slow down..

[BigCanOfBeans]

@jacob0206 Don't go over your limit with DH, get your speed tuck done and dusted, and lots of practice - especially with the corners - and know your board lol.

DO NOT tighten the trucks. It makes them waay too unpredictable for turns, AND the looser the trucks, the more balance you'll get).

[DonoghEnterprises]

skate as much as you can, whenever you can. Practice, Practice Practice!!! gotta get those ankles strong and your confidence up. Start slow and work your way up and learn how to stop. @jacob0206

[dahreeus]

what hill were you doing at the beginning... is it a washington hill?

name?

[PUNKmasta555]

How do u guys not lose control and fall??

[vandealex]

practice LOL!!!!

[doig1818]

man this is a sick video although the camera isnt brilliant quality.

[clintx33]

352 ( did u see that brown bear ) oh, yeah and the vid kicks ass too. lol

[seanofthesissons]

hawaiiansurfer, go to mt tabor park on a wednesday. best in the northwest

[Hawaiiansurfer2011]

I live in oregon do you know any sick places togo longboard???

[369flamez]

this is a mean video..kinda long tho

[coolboybrand]

my friend was there

[killermonkeypeople1]

shreddin it

[breadonwheels]

Excuse the double post, just wanted to add how I absolutely loved the clip at the beginning showing people sweeping the road clean of leaves and shit.

[breadonwheels]

Hahaha, I love the encouraging way you put that -- one bounce, two bounce, you're a dead motherfucker.

Regarding the crash at 0:54, whatever happened to the board?

[NWLongboarding]

It went of the side of that hill but it was found after a couple minutes searching. the sound you hear after the board goes off the road is the board hitting all the trees on its way down.

[XxcorzzaxX]

weres highland dr

cuz me and my mate skate down a hill in narangba queensland called highland dr

wierd but its not as hardcore as those hills

nice vid guys

[NWLongboarding]

Edmonds washington.

[cleankiller9]

Did I spy with my little eye Benny Boyd and Kevin Reimer?

[NWLongboarding]

yup.

[NWLongboarding]

yup.

[wethepeoplebmxr]

man. you guys are amazing. major props. You guys probably hit 50 mph in some parts of the vid. Fuckin amazing. Loved the vid

[JohnSkaan]

Were you guys on 410? by sunrise?

[NWLongboarding]

Nope, not in this video.

[bdoubleot]

I actually find that tight trucks make me wobble i think its cause they make the board and trucks feel like its one solid thing thats just super unstable.

[fitbikes8693]

that guy in the starting is haulin balls

hes goin atleast 40

[SSGogeta666]

man i have mad respect for you guys and give insane amounts of props

i can only wish to be about half as good as you guys someday

[Bikeboy111]

i would be scared shitless and to put put crem on thre cake they have no break TOTAL respect

[jdonogh]

Oh we got brakes. In most situations we can stop as fast as a bicycle with a foot break or a slide. Just takes practice.

[mooseknee12]

what kind of video cameras do you guys use?

[NWLongboarding]

That entire video was shot on a Sony Eviro hard drive cam corder. For the on board shots I used a homemade case out of PVC and foam to protect it.

[DonoghEnterprises]

haha, funny to read that now with all the go pros we have today. @NWLongboarding

[xfame4x]

u guys put it down that was sum expert riding .... i like it how u guys go 2 the bar and have a brew haha always makes everthing better ....

[NWLongboarding]

Nothing tops a good day of skateboarding like a brewhaha with your buddies. And that little bar in Glacier is a killer place to go after bombing Baker all day.

[stueyudonald]

you guys kill it..

respect!

[jdizallison]

Haha... The dog...

Anyways. That was an awesome vid. I'm glad you guys didn't put music on it. I like hearing the slides of your gloves and wheels. It makes the video a lot more unique.

Happy riding.

[Jeffbz17]

you guys are f*ckin gnarly... i need to buy a pair of sliding gloves, i shred asphalt but nowhere near that level of thrashing, u had to be doin atleast 50 + in a couple of those scenes, SICK

[NWLongboarding]

Yeah, slide gloves are a must. And yes, there were a couple shots that were over 50 MPH in that vid.

[dennimennis]

57.9MPH to be exact ;o)

[dennimennis]

57.9MPH to be exact ;o)

[fufury]

you guys are INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was sooo sweet, one question how tight are your trucks to avoid speed wobble? can you even see the bushings hahaha or are they some kind of custom trucks?

[NWLongboarding]

Actually, for almost every run in that movie our trucks are fairly loose. Not sloppy loose, but there is plenty of turn in them. Gotta have the loose trucks in case you need to dodge something. Speed wobble is more of a leg muscle thing that you just overcome with practice. Dennis, the guy in the very last clip rides some redicoulesly loose trucks and I've never seen him get close to wobbles. Its also about 90% mental. And most of the trucks in that vid are Randals.

[fufury]

oooh ok i see, thanks and you guys are crazy hahaha have a good one

[skamerjosh]

nutz

[phishsticks]

that is intense! im no where near that level of dh skill!

[BCJR13]
