Its not a four way stop! One side is driveway, one side is a street, and you can see down both. nodody stops even while driving cause it's not chance, you can see.

lol i went about the same speed and i got the mean speed wobbles and it was my first wobble and i got scared and hopped off and i went flying into the concrete and i ate the asphalt..... is it my trucks? they are pretty tight 7 inch core and big globe wheels with bones reds.. im new so any tips? and my boards a 108cm homemade vanguard??

@cookbook27 lol ya actually I did the same thing and separated my shoulder. I found that messing with your trucks too much will just stunt your growth. I definately learned the hard way. Just make long slow carves when you hit big hills and it will help you keep control of your board, don't try to just bomb straight right off the bat. Doing that allowed me to rid myself of speed wobbles and hit this hill from the top, which is actually twice as high as what's on this vid

yeah.. don't run stop signs.

@MattToThe2Power Yes I have. I run 50/35 Randals on my race setup. Clearly you don't go fast.

weak..

for easy turning (only if you like a loose set up for your board, and your just a casual longboarder [no sliding] ), just push your legs out but keep your body straight. then you should be able to do 360 degree turns in less than a lane on a road

@Warrior4Christ7 wrong wrong and wrong bomb the hill dont be a panzy and trucks to tight are bad and another thing dont keep your fornt foot so far forward yes keep it toward the front but not that far dam that was a horrible run you need to pump more and get some speed down that

just a tip judging how you said it was a 38... i wouldnt stand so far forward. it sucks if your like that and hit a bumbp or something then u faceplant. but id assume you already knew this due to how old the vid is.

[Powaslide]

i could tell cuz of your foot placement

[Powaslide]

it wouldnt be scary if you knew how to slide/skate
