Downhill Challenge | No Room For Error

Where it all started!
At 16 years old, I filmed my first ever raw run on a spot called Antenas, one of the hardest on our island. Seven years later, I was able to return with a particular aim in mind: skate it to its absolute limit.
With gravel on the track, a humid corner, some goats chilling on the road, and two large holes in the worst possible place, we thought we’d have to admit defeat, but I’m so glad we didn’t.
Friends involved:
Pedro Oliver (comedian, goat chaser, music, pedro cam)
Yash Gandhi (film)
Jan Izquierdo from @mntn.media (film + driving)
Laura Cauduro (safety & walkie-talkie)
Joan Lluis Sarralde (walkie-talkie & safety)
A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible, going back there meant a lot to me.
music:
Call Me G - 'San Pablo' & 'Nina'
Pedro Oliver - Dreams

This is awesome so creative, bro you’re blessed to have such a crew of people that are so down to help out! all the B roll and extra footage of showing everybody’s role they play in the process was awesome! And your skating was phenomenal as always. 👏

[@diegoponcelet]

I am so blessed to have this crew! Appreciate it Jesse, so glad you enjoyed it dude

[@mr0loki0jr]

You guys did an outstanding job. I love this collective "mission" vibe. Also totally see how this is the content that will get the next generation of skaters stoked to go out and shred/create.

[@diegoponcelet]

thank you Tom! i'm grateful brother, makes me motivated to do more! It's more effort but also connects with people more, so it's worth putting in the time :)

[@philipstevenson5166]

@@diegoponcelet likewise. you should come skate pikes peak this year, it's right up your alley!

[@lebertfelix4549]

Really enjoyed that kind of content, it's interesting to see all the steps before the "mastered run". Keep going !

[@diegoponcelet]

thanks a lot dude :) that's exactly the idea, share the 'behind the scenes' to what we do!!

[@charliecoutts3003]

Great video and ridiculous skill. I was one of the first generation of skaters to ride underneath the Royal Festival Hall/Hayward's Gallery on London's South Bank back in 1976. I used to like downhill skating too but you are completely insane ( in the nicest possible way). Take care fella 👍✌️😊.

[@troytempest290]

Incredible 👏

[@fabriziosaucedo7020]

Tenía mucho sin consumir contenido actual de Longboarding, hace poco revivía la nostalgia cuando empecé a patinar hace ya 12 años y dejé de hacerlo hace 7, este video me dio mucha felicidad y me sentí identificado con tu run de hace unos años, que chingón que sigas haciendo feliz a tu niño interior haciendo lo que más amas. Tienes un seguidor nuevo, gran video y qué gran nivel tienes hermano, un saludo. (Llegué a tu canal por la entrevista con Vowels)
