Downhill skateboarding video
Don’t think I ever posted this here. I put it on texaslongboarder.net a few months ago. But since this blog is supposed to have some skateboarding too, well, here it is. Hoping to work on a new video tomorrow afternoon, weather permitting.

Some downhill
Took the new downhill board out for some mild hills today, over in the Canyon Creek neighborhood. Skated a run I’ve done many times and it was fun. Then scouted out a new run — about a quarter mile long — maybe a bit longer.
Got a nice adrenalin rush at the bottom, where it hits a 90 degree intersection. Pavement in this area is concrete, and the intersections can be pretty choppy, so a 90% turn isn’t child’s play for a downhill novice. Anyway, I found the line and blasted through catching a little sideways drift on the Retro Freerides. Probably not going all that fast — I’d say about 20 or 25 tops. But still, was fun. Wore helmet and slider gloves.
Can’t wait to get this board on some nice smooth asphalt and a longer hill.
