You can skip the first couple of minutes to get to the good stuff. These guys are completely nuts.

Very cool video.

Reminds me of the movie Airborne.

Damn... I work about 5-10 minutes from that spot and have ran and biked both up and down the thing. Can't imagine doing it on a board (although I have seen either this crew or somebody very similar to them doing rides down Strawberry Canyon, which is shorter but a bit steeper and curvier). Crazy.

Yeah that's crazy.. I've seen video of some pretty bad wipeouts when people are doing that downhill skateboarding stuff.. One dude that wiped out turning and went head first into the guard rail! :(

I live off the road these guy do this on....right at the bottom I hear them most every weekend morning hooting and hollering as they end their run. The real crazy part is that this road is also popular with rice rocket motorcyclists & sports car freaks who do speed runs ( I got passed my a Murcielago like I was going backwards on it yesterday) If something like that comes up on them..it cant be pretty. Every saturday and sunday I watch emergency vehicles go up that road sirens blazing, prolly 3-4 times both saturday and sunday.
