Skateboarding the steep hills in San Francisco is undoubtedly dangerous, but for these skaters, it offers a sacred place to find stillness.

My friend lost half his brain bombing. Very experienced downhill rider. The turning car never saw him. Its been about 20 years since. I think of the guilt the driver must carry. My friends mother who stopped her life to care for him since the day of the accident. And of my friend who's life is forever changed.. So stupid not wearing helmets in such an unforgiving pursuit and terrain. I was reckless back then too.

Growing up South of Pasadena in the early 80's I had two sweet hills to bomb down on the way to school. One day I had the perfect crash, the wabi sabi of my skating career, on the second hill just passing the entrance to The Old Mill. I was in full tuck, head first, arms behind my back like a speed skater, and I hit a magnolia tree seed pod. Physics happened and I did a clean front flip to perfect backpack and soles of my feet landing. I slid/ran it out; no trauma, no road rash, kept using the backpack and the deck was fine. It was a shortened G%S Pine Design with Trackers and Yo Yo's for the historians out there.

Bombing hills has always been one of my favorite things to do. I just turned 41 yesterday and have been skating for 36 years now. I live on a big hillside so there's plenty of hills to skate. It's not that dangerous unless you're doing something stupid. You can't just jump in head first. You're gonna end up in the hospital. The feeling you get when you get to the bottom is the best. You're so stressed out, yet you're so happy at the same time. You're glad it's over, but you want to do it again. That's why I do it.

I have no problems with skateboarding and have loved watching the sport for many years, but I simply can't understand why none of these guys wear a helmet. Someone I knew growing up hit his head skateboarding and was taken off life support because of the severity of his brain damage. It happens. For how cautious they say they're being and understanding the risks, I would think wearing a helmet would be a priority.

definitely something special about skate boarding. I grew up on it. Peralta was the king back then. We had no pipes or parks, so it was all out on the street, carparks, hills etc... and the occasional empty building site

Skated in the 80's on a Bill Danforth deck. Never Bombed an SF hill because I live on the East Coast. But I did bomb a hill near my house back in the day. I ended up losing control, gravel in my knee, and a serious case of road rash. It was worth it.

There's a crew of people in San Francisco who do something similar but with the ability to stop if needed. They use longer boards (longboards) and softer wheels that let them slide their board sideways like a snowboarder to control their speed. It seems like most of them if not all of them wear helmets. If you look up "sunset sliders san francisco" you can find some stuff on KZbin. It seems like for this crew (in the New Yorker video) part of the appeal is not having control

Trust me these guys have control and are hyper focussed . They even know how to fall at this speed. I promise you will never feel more alive than rattling down a hill on a skateboard in clothes you can wear to the bar afterwards. No helmet / gloves required.

@Greg-df4bx 3 жыл бұрын
@DanielBx look up James Kelly or Josh Neuman raw runs. they go like 60 mph down mountain roads. it's not kooky to ride downhill using equipment built for that purpose. bombing on a street deck with little trucks and rock hard wheels and no helmet / no slide gloves is unnecessary. all you can do is go in a straight line or carve a bit and there's no way to stop if something happens outside of your control like a car pulling out of a driveway or a truck blocking an intersection. even people like Sergio Yuppie (look him up too) who ride hard wheel setups just as fast if not faster than the guys in this vid can still stop if they need to, and they do crazy tricks while going down the hill. riding a street deck down a hill with no way to stop is just as impractical as trying to kickflip a giant downhill longboard deck in a skatepark. your attitude is equivalent to hating on a downhill mountain bike rider for not using a bmx bike with pegs on it when they go down the mountain. if it's your thing to bomb on a street deck without being able to stop then fine but don't hate on people for using equipment designed for their chosen activity.
