    With the right gear on, that would be great fun. Even more scary, though was this guy...

    that other dude had bare feet! Was well quick though, wouldn't have though there was a hill that long and that well sealed in NZ, wonder what else you could take down it, bigwheel perhaps?

    Long boarding the Bombays!

    Shamelessly stolen form Shane Van Gisbergen's Facebook page so the credit goes to him!!

    Jeepers one guy Bare feet, shorts and a helmet?? They gotta be getting 80-100K I'd guess??

    Probably Illegal but what the hell, looks like fun.

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    I'd like to say irresponsible stupid people but that comes close to our man carver as far stunts go, bloody well done. Well shot video, we need more people with balls in this country.
    Don't judge me based upon your ignorance.

    Just a shame that the speed camera van wasn't at the bottom of the hill, sitting in the bushes on the left like they normally do.


    That would have made a great photo!

    They have more faith in the smoothness of the road surface than I do.
    The greatest pleasure of my recent life has been speed on the road. . . . I lose detail at even moderate speed but gain comprehension. . . . I could write for hours on the lustfulness of moving swiftly.

    Who gives a shit whether its irresponsible, childish, dangerous, stupid or idiotic.

    Every one has the right to put their own life at risk if they wish.

    That Bombay hill vid is priceless.
    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    Good stuff, those long boards with big wheels are super stable, though Mr Bare foots trucks were too loose for his weight...Skating down past vic uni to john reeds squash court skate ramp was always exciting
