the sickest slides on pavement

I know there's some other skaters out there and I just had to share this video - SICK!

THAT IS SOME SICK RIDING!
Although it is a collage of segments and sequences professionally pieced together quite well.
Now we have two skateboarding threads in the other sports.

Awesome. More like a big shortboard than a longboard, really, but some sweet high-speed crossover tricks for sure.

This might be worthy of a re-post:

In a more climbing vain... Spanky (aka Hank the Spank) and I used to wear loose Boreal Fires out of the Yahoo Mountaineering boot box and power glide down Devils Slide at ERock... 160 foot wavy slab ramp,,, catching air over the humps into rubber chewing power slides to grab the next kid-victim for the guide circuit. It was more fun than silly putty, and a lot like what those guys are doing on boards... But on granite...

At the last Granite Gripper they used the slab for a speed climbing comp, but I think they should add a surfing sliding component!
