This is catwoman on wheels. Glorius. 😻

[@SkatefreshVideos]

Truly Incredible skill level what she’s doing and at those speeds. My new Skate Heroine 🦸‍♀️

[@downhillwings]

Thanks for the nice comment, I(cameraman) started skating because of your videos 6 years ago, on Powerslide kaze Boots 😊 we all need a hero to inspire us to explore new things sometimes.

[@tyyao2000]

This carries the essence that downhill longboarding videos really clicked with back in 2010 holy cow just pure unadulterated art

[@downhillwings]

Thanks, we appreciate your very nice comment !

QUELLE IMAGE DE LA FEMME !

[@sedat4151]

All the sliding is so damn intimidating. I spent the last hour and a half skating around my complex and speeding up on declines in the street only to feel as though I was going to slide into a damn flip every time I got anywhere near a slide and bust my ass. I’ll continue watching tutorials and practicing, but I REALLY want to be able to carve and slide down hills within a year. I just got some skates on Sunday and haven’t skated in over 20 years. To be fair, I am on 3x125 right now, but my 4x80 pair will be here Friday. I’m 46 now, but I’m determined to be able to do this before I’m 47. Any advice or feedback is greatly appreciated. Happy skating! 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Woah! Normally, I find downhill skating videos pretty boring. But what you guys are doing, is just beautiful, both the cinematography and the skating. So stylish! Big thumbs up. 👍🤘

her breaking skills are truly stunning

[@mikrovlnka]

This is really beautifully filmed ! This is honestly really motivating as a beginner skater, seeing what i could do when im more confident on my skates :) Those brakings were so smoooth

[@downhillwings]

Thank you! Very happy to hear, learning to break is key, and very satisfying 😊

[@besizeneli]

It was amazing what she's doing going down. I've never seen a woman skating like that, this was without a doubt Wonder Woman in wheels.

[@invisiblemilkbag]

[@ajcyrilldy]

As a beginner, going down those hills would be my last day on Earth 😅

[@downhillwings]

All these featured riders started slowly, on flatter terrain without cars, and learned to break, and then moved to steeper terrain very gradually over the years :)

[@AKU_WONG_GILO]

what happened to the cameraman? can he stop?

[@downhillwings]

Yes of course, he can also slide :)

[@SHINdanny]

Nice video, I like the flow ;) but why promoting weaving in front of cars? If anybody is driving in the opposite direction it would be very respectful to stay on your lane instead of heading towards them only dodge the car in the last second. Imagine how many heart/panic-attacks you may have caused ;)

[@downhillwings]

Thank you! We document what exists with the less intervention possible and do not promote certain behaviors. Sometimes riders also don't wear protection , which here is the opposite, but we really try and keep our opinion out of the way and document the truth with a certain distance. The only thing we can do ourselves is to be careful to respect the rules, because you are right, as you see the camera never crosses the line.

[@paulblichmann2791]

Yeah well... you're not wrong. Also some people gotta "live a little". So what can you do. The skaters are giving drivers a bit of "expect the unexpected", which is only healthy.

[@Alicia-bt6kc]

c'est tout plat, pkoi un casque

[@downhillwings]

Je vois beaucoup de gens qui tombent sur la tête au plat ou même sans aller en avant, tjrs mieux d'avoir le casque même pour les pros

[@ericlechat719]

Weaving in front of cars, that's going to turn out well...

[@downhillwings]

Let's wish it does! Maybe one day the sport can get safer infrastructure.

[@paulblichmann2791]

If enough people did it they'd get used to it. Also the low speeds are making the risk of death pretty miniscule. Compared to American streets which are literally dragstrips.

[@downhillwings]

@@paulblichmann2791 there is always a trade off between security of pedestrians, on the sidewalk, and your own, on the road. Also ideally, communication with drivers is really crucial so that they understand the intentions of the rider. Finally, many small roads are Max 30kmh with no sidewalks, where cars should expect to share the road with inlines and other... (It is in french but can give an idea of the local rules where this was filmed: www.tcs.ch/fr/tests-conseils/conseils/types-de-vehicules/engins-tendance.php)

[@Inockin]

Better if you wearing some colorful clothes )

To each their own style :)
