Growing up, I had to skate my driveway until a park opened nearby. So I became a bowl troll. After getting my license, I was able to get out and hit the streets. I always thought skating faster was the way to go. Skip the wax, give it another push ya know? Moved to Oregon for college and was skating gnarly parks, and got into vert. Ripping around bowls and skating acutal vert ramps, you go fast. Faster than general street skating in my experience. However bombing hills was always the pinical. Never gone fast than straight lining it down a gnarly hill.
The fastest I can verify was 34mph down a hill near where I grew up. It was sketch. Slammed hard on that hill on a prior attempt. Powerslid the shit out of my wheels, and pretty much ripped the ass off the back of my pants on another try. Third try was the charm.
Anyways. Let's talk about going fast. I'm also up for the inevitable Gerwer, Gx, Sean Young in the rain, or Freddy, at Bam's clips that should probably get posted.
