    A whole different type of speed experience - skateboarding....

    Driving our Porsches at speed is exhilarating. But high speed skateboarding is something else. A beautifully shot short.....

    Yup, that had my hands sweating. Also 60mph on sewups in the Alps and 80mph on 218 DH skis. It's all good, speed thrills. Thanks for posting.

    when the speed wobbles started... I puckered up.
    Reminds me of one of the last times I saw one of my childhood friends - we took him skating (both vert and downhill -- he got a severe case of roadrash), got drunk, watched TopGun, and gave him a mohawk... and then sent him off to the Navy. Ah, to be young.

    That looks crazy. Power sliding at that speed?! When I was younger, I'd skate-sail which wasn't nearly this fast, but with absolutely no way to stop... Speed wobbles at even 20-30 mph on pavement isn't fun.
