Thanks Arbor and James Kelly, not just for making an awesome video, but especially for including footage of how even the pros deal with stuff like wobbles...and fail. The sick footage is inspiration, but can be a damper when we face failure, so the fail footage gives us the strength to persevere. Thanks.

When ever someone has something to say about long boarding being for fruits with longhair who go up and down sidewalks for transportation. I show them this video to show them I thrive for something way more than to cruise the streets. I live for this sport and its completely infamous, it should be in he Olympics and taken to the next level. This sport is what I live for.

Seriously very few people with the talent and style that James has. And at such tremendous speeds. Also, Jack Boston, you my friend are a genius. This is by far the best cinematography we've seen in downhill skateboarding. And perfect music selection. Well done all. This video is legendary.

This video has something magical; the music, photography, the ride itself... I don't know, maybe is just a combination of all of them but I had lots of emotions going on while watching this (something that not a lot of videos can). For a moment I felt like I was the one going down the road, and the music fits perfectly because it doesn't let you feel like "everything is going to be ok". English is not my mother language but I have tried to expres my feeling the best I could. One more time, amazing!

+TheTintinHerge "and the music fits perfectly because it doesn't let you feel like "everything is going to be ok". Haha, that is Swans (the band who plays the music, song is called Jim). This tension is always in their music. It's part of what makes it so great, and also fitting for a film like this.

You fall a lot before you learn to drift. That's why you start slow, and work your way up. I know that for me, it took a good week of skinned elbows and road rash to do them, and I'm not even doing standups, I'm doing glovedowns.

I see allot of questions arising as of how they filmed behind the subject and acquired those shots. I wasn't there, but if you look at the shadow cast by the camera at 3:20, it's a DSLR mounted on the hood of a car. Most likely a 70D or 5D Mark III. The lens looks like maybe a 24-70 or 24-105. It's too fluid for a second boarder, and at that impossible for another boarder at those speeds to be filming. Many other shots were defiantly not shot on a DSLR. Maybe a RED Scarlet, yet it doesn't look like RED footage, unless the rendering and settings were off. A Sony most likely. F700's could achieve that level of slow motion with the lighting much like you see. Overall amazing cinematography.

Goodness that crash looked like it would've stung. It's exhilarating to watch Films like this because Us Redditors rarely get the opportunity to experience something so extreme. We Redditors tend to have more laid back hobbies and modes of transportation. We aren't Pain Enthusiasts and We certainly aren't a very coordinated bunch (unless you're talking about fashion sense). As such, It's not unusual to see Us rolling around town, at a leisurely pace, on our Razor brand Scooters ( I even have a custom cup holder on the handle bars of mine). Ciao.
