Valhalla, I'm fucking speechless, this is why downhill skateboarding is the absolute best. You guys are mad men it's fucking amazing

[@VivaVortella]

Cooper's last run was incredible

[@fernandoferreira2124]

wtf was that man skater passing everybody on free road hahahahha insanely mad dude

[@nouseforaname5378]

completely bonkers! That was fucking awesome

[@luismiguelvasquezvillegas4789]

This guy calls "felipe marin" from Medellin 🇨🇴 Colombia, and the place its calls "avenida las palmas" there its where all of the underground race are making, longboard, gravity, supervikes, tuning cara etc, its almost 1 hour going donw from the airport of "Rio Negro" to "Medellin" there are many underground videos about this place

[@ConnorRoss]

the camera skater also! unless it a motorbike?

[@twodeadteeth3065]

37:00 to 43:00 was some of the gnarliest skating i've ever seen.

[@Unknown-vf3vr]

HE IS A FUCKING SICK BOY

[@NathanGrawesh]

Secret here is a lower center of gravity allowing for a much more stable ride at higher speed. This is achieved by this guy huge balls hanging around his knees.

[@EtanPriestling]

dude really said fuck it i'm I car now

[@ivanellamas6286]

that was on colombia in the highway to medellin, im was there a few time's and imagine that speed and madness of all of god's it's realy amazing man!

[@luismiguelvasquezvillegas4789]

This is in medwllin colombia, the way its call "las palmas" its the Autopits who connect the airport of "rio negro" with Medellin, its almost 1 hour by car goi donw and with many many curbs⏬⏬⏬

[@booldawg]

These guys understand the physics of movement.

[@Easternboarder127]

The banger run was amazing, just casually overtaking cars on the highway, while on a longboard! Can't imagine some of those peoples reactions

[@glub__blub]

I was surprised the motorcycle didn't stick with them

[@jortswitijnk832]

give this man a oscar

[@goprosnowboardingCA]

Definitely the best downhill skate video so far..can't stop watching it. Great filming, great riding, great editing. Keep up the work guys.

[@darrenmalone9602]

When these men (more like hill bombing gods) hit highway speeds & manage to pass everything possible on a piece of wood on four wheels... I salute them...This is the greatest footage ever created (around the 36 minute mark you will learn today!)...worth mentioning the soundtrack is just the right vibe. I see the love and the skills they show in every second of this video. Ride like the wind...4 ever

[@GManStritz8]

7 years later… any recommendations for films in the same echelon?

[@user-qz1xy3tn8i]

@@GManStritz8the homies skate the big one!

[@matt_neo]

literally went to the store to buy snacks just for this vid

[@danielischillin]

[@kvas6255]

Worth it

[@samvanderkolk3829]

30,000 views...this shit deserves 30,000,000. This entire video was just amazing, great music, great riding, great filming,everything. Keep on doing your thing Valhalla

[@zacklooney8326]

saw this for the first time when I was 15 and stepping on a dh board for the first time. Now missing this era of skating so goddamn much, hope everybody involved in this is doing well now. love you boys

[@johngarza7622]

Gone or disappeared a while ago, I was helping valhalla with their last batch of boards over a year ago, weird that I still come here to watch this

[@kvas6255]

We try our best wherever we live to keep it alive. This video is a masterpiece, it inspired us.

[@GilbertCreative]

THANK YOU! Downhill skateboarding needs more full length films.

[@Blumenfreund84]

Lord... Before this video I hadnt even heard of longboards and now Im just completely stunned by the beauty and grace of the riders, the track, the landscape and the music, unbelievable!

[@sergeykonovalov4674]

that last part with Cooper is when downhill skateboarding really peaked

[@romanweiss8316]

seen this a gazillion times and i'd like to say that i dig ciabattinis carefree style the most. just that you know. because i know, you've been waiting for my comment for a long time.

[@DaganKay]

Skating was so rad, but major props to the edit Alex! Seamless and beautifully easy to watch, plus a bad ass sound track. Loved every minute

[@ParkerGreen_sh]

I remember watching this 4-5 years ago... just spent an hour finding it again

[@nothingisrealvideo]

This is the essence of what skateboarding means, absolute pure subversive freedom. Full on commitment at every level no matter what. Great vid, so inspiring, taking it all higher, as it should. Thank you all. This is what real "art" looks like btw - I'm talking about the skating. Cheers.

[@yardogyuh2049]

The fact this dude starts speeding past cars at the end is the most gnarly thing i've ever seen

[@amineboutaher5351]

Cooper kill everything at the end 0_0 Big up to Alex Ameen for all that work!!

[@lido8228]

this is not a longboard video, this is art.

[@espenstrohmeier2518]

The best movie ever made! Cooper's last run was soooooooooooo gooooooooooooooooooooood!

[@buddyvanpeer]

Cooper is now my favourite skater

[@joevidales6693]

Amazing! Turned the lights off and this was like watching a classic, love downhill, you guys are awesome, Great soundtrack, this is what I will be doing in my heaven 🌈 good shit guys I'm 53 started sk8 ing on the clay wheel, this shit should be in the Olympic games ! Keep it up Love this video

[@JamesCalldrums]

16:00 to 16:54 gives me the chills. It's beautiful

[@comicog3]

I love the highway segment, it's so bad ass.

[@twizzybert]

This is actual art

[@nonquintessentialone]

Am i the only one that thinks this soundtrack is also boss and this needs to be on Netflix?

[@sarahmcdonald2141]

When I want to show someone what DH longboarding is, this is the video I show them

[@malteschroter6235]

Sarah McDonald same xD

[@vehas1015]

i am a street skater and i find this amazing and beautiful

[@SteezusChrist69]

ITS MORE LIT THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN BEFORE

[@caseyjones5892]

sho oulette is the hardest dude ever on a downhill(!)-skateboard...sooo much love and respect for him!!!

[@HEREISMULLEER]

These guys don't need Red Bull, they already have wings!! This is so nuts,, Good work guys,,

[@pepemcs87]

Rolll one more and watch again! Big up to all from portugal! last run was the best thing I ever seen amazing

[@strangersound]

The whole video is a downhill classic, but you guys should do a separate edit for the last song/sequence from 30:35 forward. The song and the freeway run and the climax are the ultimate. :)

[@stubby_gnome7106]

I always come back to this video, these guys truly trust their setups 100% not a care or ounce of fear just full send

[@hadenmckay9786]

I feel inspired Everytime I rewatch this. It’s so calming

[@j9studios384]

wow this is amazing. maybe it wouldnt be for the average youtuber, but then again, with the music and the crazy hypno toad cut scenes maybe it would be. either way, put me in a trance, and im an old dude just picking up longboarding. already sort of obsessed with it. love the culture, and the ride. plus its fun to say bro... bro. awesome video tho. many thanks for posting it. would love to ride like these guys one day. wish i picked it up when i was younger, but thats the beauty of it. every boarder ive met didnt make fun of the 37 year old grey bearded bald guy trying to teach his kids. you always hear in society how skaters are punks etc, some of the best people ive ever met skated or longboarded. even seemed stoked the old guy and his little kids were riding. anyways, long side tracked comment, but you guys earned a like and subscriber

[@lukelindeman4794]

This is an amazing video. The best longboard video on youtube 100%. The editing, cinematography, the music, everything. And the clips of the Alan Watts lectures are awesome.

[@utlwangmorolo3798]

love the visuals. trippy gnarly stuff

[@louieaguilar2667]

pretty insane video I'm from Texas there are no Hills in Texas longest run is probably a minute 20 seconds I dream of bomb and he was like that pretty much dream I'm 53 years old still stoked

[@gregs6403]

I still come back to watch this video once in a while. It's so peaceful but also an amazing display of talent. Thank you guys for making this.

[@kasperdevos9206]

what a work of art!

[@captainsupercookie]

Still one of the best skate vids ever!

[@EtanPriestling]

I might've been too high watching this but the line at 42:40 got me geeked, dope video! STRONG MAGIC!

[@danielwillingmyre8620]

I have been waiting for this film for awhile now and I'm am so impressed with EVERYTHING!!!

[@respectvibes]

Dammmm the last 10 minutes though!!

[@nouseforaname5378]

Respect Vibes edge of the goddamn seat type shit!

[@yura03042001]

The best lonboarding movie i've ever seen!

[@dizballanze]

Last run is fucking insane !!

[@rogeriolopesdesousa9357]

Véio... É o melhor filme de "down hill" que assisti, trilha sonora, os "picos" e os skatistas, é um show, muito bonito. SKATE OR DIE!

[@manuelagelviz8706]

6 años y sigue siendo uno de mis videos favoritos. Los mejores spots para patinar en Yardas

[@volkan_dincer]

I see it as an aI see it as an art film and I think these people are doing an artistic activity very sincerely. (In the 31st minute, while skateboarding with overalls and yellow helmet; the collage of the worker image that we are accustomed to witnessing the identity of the skateboard and its anonymity in the opposite direction ...) There have been those who call the instant visuals in the video subliminal messages, but these are the fact that skateboard can be seen in different contexts and skateboarding emphasizes its nature not recognized by the system. It has been a wonderful job of making skateboard visible as an activity that gives political and exalted experience because of the way it exists.

[@cbmedia7839]

best skate vid by far. among the bests vids in general

[@pepemcs87]

you can watch this forever!! so fucking inspiring... love the away cooper rides and last run was just beautifuuuul

[@shaun8610]

Valhalla Skateboards inspiring Daredevils of the highways! Great video

[@autumnleaves2766]

Spectacular downhill longboarding. It must take great skill and courage to fly down the roads at that speed. Great to watch.

[@esb1874]

HOLY SHIT that traffic/highway run starting at 37:00 ......

[@Jimalax11]

+Sam Belliveau It literally blew my fucking mind. I didn't know people had so much balls. Talk about being focused under pressure; it really gives all the Alan Watts quotations some credence.

[@magnus5551]

So sketchy but controlled at the same time :D

[@lt.dolphin1012]

That could be a really fast and efficient way to travel by highway...just dont let the idiots who dont even know what a longboard is find out about it.

[@lt.dolphin1012]

You could slipstream for miles behind a semitruck

[@pictofiend]

one part of me can’t believe this was already 7 years ago. the other part of me can’t believe it was only 7 years ago

[@socallongboarding9543]

I love this vid. Really well made. This is truly the best downhill skate vid I've seen.
