Longboarders racing on Wellington streets

[6peesinapod9]

@Wishes1973 ure an idiot, you haven't a clue what ya saying. Longboarders are legally allowed on the road. They are condsidered they same as a bike, however they aren't required to wear helmets, but as responsible riders these guys wore helmets. Shut the fuck up

[6peesinapod9]

@GloomFate that's probably the single gayist idea I've heard in my life.

[montygod]

This could be a red bull event. Thats what wellington can be used for. Hills Hills Hills.

[retr0banana]

newzealand whoohoo!!!

[Pighaterskater]

1.14  absolutely on the most raggard of most raggard edges. ... and kept it together. Respect!

[GloomFate]

if i was driving on those roads I would be pretty pissed off. You guys need to clip that Adrew fella around the ear.

I think you guys have a right to do this stuff but some one needs to tell other skaters if they are skilled enough to skate on the road "Long-board License". Some local clubs should encourage people to join and only skate on the roads if they have earned it.

[mozzmann]

If these guys road with respect to the road rules ie where you can legally pass etc then fine but simply blasting down the hill with little respect for other road user's does VERY little to help the sport of Longboarding, but rather brings a negative reaction.

Guys don't get me wrong I'd blast down that hill too but I'd follow the road rules (except the 50 Kph maybe which sucks)

[flippa150]

these guys shud have hit cumberland street new plymouth!!

[gui123dias]

lol loser cameraman

[joshowens1981]

They gave the camera to the wrong guy

[VOXboxed]

This seemed a bit disrespectful, in all honesty. I mean, maybe the truck driver wasn't fazed, but if I were in that situation I would be scared shitless.

You couldn't slow down to pull over b/c of the dude filming behind, but you're desperately hoping the passing boarders don't fall under your wheels...

[Pighaterskater]

@VOXboxed Thats why they call it "skate or die"

[VOXboxed]

@Pighaterskater You're right there.

[nipnipnip1]

no one ever tells an F1 driver they are dickheads for risking their lives...

[RaiteAmano]

@nipnipnip1 F! racers are trained and do it on a CLOSED COURSE not running around on public roads risking everyone else's necks >.>

[Pighaterskater]

@RaiteAmano yeah fuck up clown... I bet you txt and drive... steer with your knee.... eat burgers while driving like 99% of drivers on the road.

[Enadiius]

that was cool, but that guy that squeezed himself between the truck and the kerb was a bit of a dick. that could of gone so wrong so quickly. there is on point where you actually see him get a bit of a wobble on when he was right next to the truck. but other that that, awsome!!

[111Lozza]

@36micks that street is lethal, I could barely even walk up it, I'm sure some cars even struggled with it, and some kids died going down there in a trolley right? Maybe they should give it a go lol

[GlobeNinja]

mint.

[SamEEE12]

Epic.

[xkhmerninjax]

oh mate wonder if this is gona b on the tv news to

[69jackyboy69]

Siik as dude, New Zealand media etc have no idea about longboarding or anything else fun. they just take one look and think "hey those dudes are having a good time, lets try stop them" fucking cool seeing this shit here in NZ keep on boarding

[04sez]

haha nice. this cracks me up I live by this hll and these guys have balls. Wouldnt like to be the guy in the ute tho!!

[timmyt56]

Love what they do but keep on the left of the road ae? The right is for oncoming traffic, not for longboarding. Otherwise power to them.

[akortie]

haha cracks me up how people react to this. the media twisting public opinion by writing an overexagerated story based on no knowledge of longboarding what so ever. plenty of other dangerous longboard videos out there and none of them have people complaining about painting the road red. these guys here are well trained and know what they r doing, and soaking up 15 mins of fame from our ignorant little country. good on em

[Makinogurl]

I must admit... It does look really cool but HOLY SHIT... one of these days one of you is going to end up painting the road, while the rest of you have to explain to his family, that it seemed like a good idea at the time... This one was a bit scarier then the Bombay one.

[MrFixErit]

More power to them! Even should one be hurt, it would be a victimless crime. You softcocks bitchin’ about them need to LEARN to leave others and their freewill alone or you’ll end up in a global concentration camp without ANY rights. Stop externalising your power, realise YOU ARE IN CONTROL!

[36micks]

Hey there. have a adventure and take a trip down Baldwin St. in Dunedin.

[criscobucketeer]

hells yeah!!! fuckin sweet!

[wishes1973]

fucken menace to traffic, get off the road

[criscobucketeer]

@wishes1973 quit-yer-bitchin! cars have brakes. use em. we're allowed on the road too, dick.

[wishes1973]

@criscobucketeer ahh, no you're not. read the road code. How do you think that dude in the ute would have felt if one of you accidentally went under the wheels?

[criscobucketeer]

@wishes1973 ahhh, yeah we are. why dont you check the road rules. we are most def allowed to. just not in downtown areas for the most part. its a form of transportation. same as bikes. and the guy in the ute might have felt bad, but not as bad as the skater. it wouldnt have been the drivers fault. get over it. let people have fun. have you ever run one of them over? has one of them ever caused you to crash? no. get over it you cry baby

[Pighaterskater]

@wishes1973 dont diss skating fagget!
