Thats intence, suck the 3 of the riders stacked though. But still great video
wow, that is a nice run!!!!
for them to be hauling ass down that road with a big fuck-off car in front of them blocking the view, trying to go fast but keep it in controlled is just down right epic. its one of those roads you would need to know back-to-front before attempting something like this and as you can see James can obviously skate it in his sleep
gotta love those speed checks!
holy crap that was awesome!!!!
man those really quick checks by james before the turns are awesome. anyone know how to do that? i dont think i can kick it out and pull it back that quick
go ride malibu hills or the french alps and i guarantee you will lean REAL fast

That little no grab heel side check he does at 3.31 it so on the edge of control it's scary. Over all just a great display of speed. Intersting to not that none of them had drop down decks???? Anyone tell me why, is it due to the fact they have to slide and check so much???
More grip and better leverage over your wheels.

technically louis was riding a drop deck. although it feels more like a topmount imo

drop decks are for sissies, not really, BUT top mounts are better for control/torsion/grip everything. drop decks are more stable at speed BUT top mounts are slightly harder to ride at speed SO you are a better skater if you can ride a top mount and do all the same stuff that you can do on a drop. this is all just my opinion. james kelly and patrick switzer both kill it on top mounts, DESTROY shit, with much more of a wild style than scoot and mischo (also just my opinion)
its like riding loose trucks to improve your tight truck speed-riding, riding loose trucks you speed wobble more often, and speed wobbling is the ultimate in balance/muscle memory training
