Sick run with beautiful views.! Those 5-10 minute runs are no joke for endurance.

[@rambam791]

My front leg would be cramping tf up after that.

[@fuccccyoubitchazzhoez]

try the 20-30 min runs in Colorado with Coop and the venom crew :) Gore mountian range by Estes park Colorado! Sick vid!

[@diegovelasquez6056]

Wearing an aero helmet with baggy clothes reminds me of when I order a Coke Zero with my fries

[@FreddietheFly]

I'd love to see a GPS based speedometer shown on the screen to see what speeds you get.

[@noobFab]

This! 40mph? 50mph? 70mph?!?

[@funkingitup1805]

Posting yourself going around breaking speed limits sounds like a pretty stupid thing to do.

[@Rotscrek]

Incredible run, stunning views and stunning speed

[@Delraven24]

ok real talk I get sketched out driving that road and you bombed it like a champ. you got some brass ones and that bridge is nuts with the potholes ad cracks. that was one hell of a run.

[@idontlikeit.7822]

What a flood of memories this brings back….Donner pass to Donner Lake, but as we always said, “ you have to earn it”. First climb it then the descent.

I have a ton of respect for the Longboarder. That takes a lot of guts and his skills are admirable. If this were an Olympic Event, he’d place ☝️

[@hyperboytkl1077]

My respects and credits for bravery and determination by the longboarder. But I think had the cyclist been more serious race wise, he woulda easily beaten the longboarder. A small wheeled longboard with no drive mechanism, relying on gravity power alone for propulsion will not stand a chance against a gravity driven plus FULL CRANK AND PEDAL ASSISTED size 27 inch wheeled road bicycle.

[@hildalaw7627]

If he stops uploading it means the pebble won💀

[@Greatdudeguy]

nah his wheels are huge lol, you could hit anything but a speed bump

[@danielgron8954]

You're a mad man and amazingly talented.

[@ryanlesueur4808]

At 2:44 in between grip and slide was nuts

[@brentlanyon4654]

To me that looks like fun the same way that racing motorcycles looks fun. I'd 100% try it if I knew it wasn't going to kill me sooner rather than later, and hurt a helluva lot in the process! What was the chase vehicle? Are the pants abrasion resistant? I'm going to watch this one a few times. Would love to see a gopro, but am guessing that would mess with the aerodynamics a bit much.

[@MarkusFindet]

Super Video.. Eine Tacho Einblendung wäre ein Highlight .. 😄

[@Jeanetteinnes]

Phenomenal speed from those little wheels 😮😮😮😮

[@KidFury27]

I was a larger road cyclist who loved going downhill fast. I've hit 65 mph once! But, this longboarder is crazy good! #respect!

[@sheldonschultz4681]

I have been on that road and never dreamed of doing it that way. This would be an excellent "Tour of California." I would rather watch this than long cycling tours. Pick 30 hills over 30 days for a tour of Califonia. I would watch with 10 teams.

[@richmanerd]

Talented!

most likely only 45-50.

@@viperdemonz-jenkins” only 45-50?”?. I ride motorcycles and race muscle cars at triple digit speeds, but That seems hella fast to me for my body to be hurtling through space on a skinny ass board with some coffee cup sized wheels, and no roll cage.

[@markscheuermann7946]

I live in Sparks and work in Reno, so I travel this I-80 frequently. So, I'm pretty familiar with the roads in this area. And getting back into longboarding at 60 years old and a 40-year break, I will be paying closer attention to skate ability now.

One slightly large asphalt pebble and you’re toast. I salute you!

[@atatterson6992]

Roads like that are pretty much pebble free... the same reason everyone doesn't have broken windsheilds.

[@positivecarry07]

@@atatterson6992 you understand all these roads are made of pebbles and tar = asphalt.

[@atatterson6992]

@@positivecarry07 Indeed I do. However very rarely does a piece come loose and if/when it does the first vehicle that comes along blows it off imto LaLa Land. If we had "pebbles" on our roads your windshield would last about 100 miles before needing replacement. Physics removes foreign objects from flat environments VERY fast. Think about it... The wind created by one 70 mph car, much less a semi, acts like an industrial leaf blower9

You should link up w SAFA Brian, get a real VS going

[@danielschechter8130]

The cyclist can add add power by pedaling. The longboarder can present a smaller surface area for reduced wind drag. But to do that the longboarder must maintain a very difficult and uncomfortable body position. On level ground the cyclist would win. 😀

I knew the cyclist wasn't going to be able to keep up with the longboarder, especially going downhill:)

[@thehandleiwantedwasntavailable]

You must've watched a different video to me. In the one I watched, the cyclist doesn't pedal once, then pulls to the side so the camera car can pass. There was no VS to be seen.

[@ms.anthropik]

@@thehandleiwantedwasntavailable To be honest, I assumed that the cyclist and the longboarder were together to see who could go the fastest hence the title of the video. And there is no way the cyclist could keep up with Luke, pedelling or not.

[@bikebudha01]

@@thehandleiwantedwasntavailable exactly...

[@autarko]

​@@ms.anthropikThe cyxlist was not in an aerodynamoc losition nor was he pedaling on a relatively flat section. I think this title is clickbait. It's obvious that a cyclist should be faster.

[@ms.anthropik]

@@autarko A longboarder can ride at very high speeds with minimal physical effort. I seriously doubt that a cyclist could physically keep up with a longboarder riding for miles.

Once you crossed that cyclist, he was never seen on camera This shows how fast the longboards are in downhill

What could go wrong? No margin for error.

[@SOLOIIguru]

Cyclist had his seat too high. Needed to lower his seat and get his frontal surface area as small as possible

[@atatterson6992]

OK James

[@hyperboytkl1077]

Impossible. It can’t be. The cyclist woulda easily won had he descended using a largest ring - to smallest rear cog combination and pedalled on it flat out. Perhaps he wasn’t giving it his all not taking the race very seriously. A big wheeled, pedal propelled road bike can easily eat up a tiny wheeled longboard with no drivetrain in a serious race downhill . Had I been the cyclist, this longboarder will not stand a chance.
