dayum. Was the camera operator on a board too?! That was art. The boarder kids have taken over a local hairpin descent on the local bike path. They are pretty good about posting lookouts on the bottom to make sure no one is walking or biking up the hill.

Pretty impressive 360s while traveling at that speed. I wonder what wheels they're using.

Those roadies aren't Cancellara or Salvodeli but still an impressive display of the indestructibility and stupidity of youth

The road is Passo Giau, on the Selva di Cadore side. The local authorities are not amused; they are afraid that it will become a mecca for demon skaters trying to emulate those guys, with tragic consequences guaranteed, eventually. They already have enough serious problems with speeding motorcyclists. At least the skaters don't make the terrible racket that the motos do, however.

Haha, they didn't nearly do the entire hill; that figures cause the way they managed those boards must have been pretty strength sapping. Awesome skills. Those cyclists were SLOW. When we went down that hill (the other side), I was following my wife's cousin who's channeling Tomba La Bomba. It's a 9ish percent average grade.
