Yeah its dangerous, skateboarding isn't supposed to be safe assholes.

edit: only saw one actual clip under the hashtag. I'm guessing some people took it down, but there probably weren't many to begin with. I hope the news sensationalism actual DOES make it become a trend.

Are you a kook? If you would say this, the answer is “YES”
I quit skating for a time due to piling out

Oh shit! Haha, this was posted today on my local station while the reporter reports from the 101 exit a couple of blocks down from my house. Haha! Wonder if the reporter knows that he is reporting from the same location where Keith Hufnagle 50/50 the freeway overpass handrail in the DC video or the same location where Muska 50/50 down the rail into the freeway where the bus stops. The reporter did a nice job of reporting from the scene. It seems Nackel is just taking it up a notch. The only thing I could foresee happening from what the officer said is someone getting hit by a motorcycle. Thise fools don't give a damn if there is gridlock they zip through fast as fuck!

I skated a freeway once a few years ago, but it was on i-70 driving back to denver from the mountains. They have to close the Eisenhower tunnel for like a half hour when traffic is bad to make sure people don't die from car fumes while driving through it. When it happens you just know that you won't be moving for awhile, so I took out my rainy day board and skated a bit between the cars. It was a solid way to pass the time.

Yeah, that is a good point actually. That never even occurred to me. Lane Splitting in California on motorcycles is legal and actually encouraged by Motorcycle Safety Foundation. I ride motorcycles myself and always lane split in traffic.

Be fuckin careful out there you guys. If not you getting hit, your board ending up in between the cars could pitch a motorcycle rider....
