  • Very cool heard about this vid from one of the competitors Tom Kishen on his handsliders. We were tearing up Archibald Ave in Cucamonga then. THANKS!

    Scooter

  • lol......im a longshoreman from Long beach...but im a long way from riding boards down the hill...I use to ride my bike down skyline drive when I was a kid..now at the age of 29...I wouldn't dare to...

  • Alongside Hester, sorry for the mis-spelling

  • He's good from what I hear. He's lived in Hawaii for several years now, surfing a lot and making surfboards now, and always thinking of new and better designs, as usual. I think he is like 60+ years old now, but i guess your not old, unless you feel old (:

  • @BuzzDyou My uncle (David Dillberg) won this contest in 77' along with Lester. I give those seventies dudes credit, they were the pioneers of the sport. He later went on to design those skateboard shells they had for high speeds, I think his personal best was like 57 mph or something crazy. Cool times.

  • Love the parachute deploy in the beginning!

  • crazy enough just to go down it in a car

  • Signal Hill can be brutal.. I clocked 45 mph, verified by the chick in the Camaro following me. After 10 clean runs, I changed the grommets, like an idiot I didn't use a hard enough compound.. Speed Wobbled, slid past two houses on my elbows, no safety gear (commando).. end of downhill career! Aargh

  • this is the real deal. they were inventing shit on the spot with crappy gear unlike the stuff we have today. if you don't respect this do us all a favor and stop skateboarding and take up roller blading instead.

  • dud i was just stating  my opinion, but if u really want to come along a call people names through a computer then be my guest
