Title: Hill Bombs
Post by: no thanks on July 25, 2011, 03:39:02 PM
Bombing a hill is one of the best things you could do on your board, especially with a group of friends. Who has video of themselves, friends or pros bombing so gnarly hills? Let's start with this one....Sean Young Hill Bomb (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa85I_5rWBg#)

Bombing hills is one of the funnest things in skateboarding.... I love the adrenaline rush you get from almost eating shit. it's also super fun dodging cars and pedestrians :D

I think the one at 1:11 is one of the best. Somewhere I remember seeing a longer clip of that, and it's just nuts how fast he's going.

I love when you realize that you're going too fast to powerslide and accept that you are either going to slam or make it.  Best feeling ever.

Hill bombs are the purest form of skating. You're not a man until you've ate shit going faster than the speed limit.

Ate shit bombing a  doing a line on some curved hill like a month ago. I  had just purchased some new wheels and they where slippery as fuck. That plus hauling ass on a big ass curved hill equals severe road rash and a few days in the hospital. The doctors thought I had eaten shit in a motorcycle.
 (Don't worry I got back up and got the line and continued skating for like 2 more hours, it was until I saw some yellow shit coming out of my palms that night that I decided to get it check out)

Whenever I'm bombing hills and there is a sidewalk adjacent, my favourite thing to do is ollie up and try to manual as far down the hill as I can and pop back onto the road. It's like a hill bomb within a hill bomb, plus it can make a fairly mellow hill way more fun.

Took some photos a while back of my friend bombing down this place we like to call dead mans hill. It doesn't look that steep, but it stretches out for a quarter mile and shoots you into a highway. But you only have to worry about that if you can make it past the gnarly cracks and rocks. Good times.

Reviving this thread to say that skating SF has to be one of the best things ever. Every hill I’ve gotten to skate here so far has been amazing. Just wanted to show appreciation for some of the best hill bombs I’ve ever done.

I'm off IG right now, but @shyguyseeps has the absolute best sf hill bombing content around, IMO. Not necessarily legendary stuff like certain clips, but you get extended hill bombs in groups, filmed very well, often connecting the longest down hill routes in the city. I'll usually watch one or two with my morning coffee.
