I am pretty sure I bombed one of the steepest that is Providence, but here is the list:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/28/steepest-streets-america_n_4871559.html
Hoooly fuuuuck that was insane!I just bombed my first hill of the year on my cruiser about a month ago. Usually there's enough headwind to make you able to do it so I just let loose and went for it. No fucking headwind were to be found and I started to wobble a little in the middle of the hill so I knew my only chance would be to brake with my foot. I tried but wobbled out and took a slam in full fucking speed.. I had never gone down that fast before and that scandinavia asphalt wasn't exactly smooth. I just tore my jeans to shit, fucking blood everywhere except for my dick and I couldn't sleep for 2 days because of the pain. Just watching this makes me shiver, goddamn hillbombs are gnarly.

Nuge's street has a 23.4% grade, for about 405 ft. Anyone know physics well enough to compute (all things being equal, like wind, rolling resistance, ground surface, body weight, etc) what kind of speeds we're talking about at the bottom of the hill, like who would be going faster, given that one is steeper and one is longer?also happenstance, you're looking at a 15.2% grade over 1735 ft. you're gnarly.[close]Ignoring the powerslides and assuming there is no other friction mgh=1/2mvf^2-1/2mvo^2Mass is the same throughout and initial velocity is zero so both can be taken out of the equation.Final velocity would equal the square root of 2(gravity)(height)26.3% grade is about 14.7 degrees23.4% grade is about 13.2 degreesHeight=length of hill in the x axis times the tangent of the angleVf(Nuge)=sqrt(2(9.80m/s^2)(123m)tan13.2)=23.779m/sVf (Frank)=sqrt(2(9.80m/s^2)(110m)tan14.7)=23.783m/sIn miles per hour, Nuge's is 53.20mph, while Frank's is 53.21mphHoly shit

John Fitzgerald bombed a 41 degree hill next to the Flower Shop. Bradford Street above Tompkins. It was freshly paved, but there was a complete lack of a rollaway zone.http://www.datapointed.net/2010/02/more-steeps-of-san-francisco/

That was gnarly. However, do the power-slides at the top count? I mean, homeboy bombed the hill but it seems like he slowed into it. I definitely can't do that shit but all the footage I've seen and when I bombed hills in my younger years, you usually power-slide once you are done with the hill. Not hating, just wondering what people thought.

Do you realize that he bombed the 5th steepest hill in the world and you don't think it counts because he did a powerslide near the top? I mean even so after about a second or two your already going like 100 mph.Remember before the internet when you actually had to wait for a video to even come out? Now you have kids that are so desensitized that they can't even appricate this because "he did a powerslide near the top" or because "Gerwer can do it better." I mean what the fuck, this isn't street league. � Who cares who did what better. Just be stoked that you witnessed something super rad and gnarly on a skateboard!

Nuge's hill was around a 60-62% grade. Yikes!

Good Idea JB, Michigan is dopeStructure 7 (Tempe, AZ)(Sorry, only video I could find of the place was some longboarders)It's a rollercoaster shaped garage where it goes straight, then down, straight, down, straight etc...I bombed it from the 7th floor and ate shit on the way outta the garage because it doesn't lead anywhere. Shit's fun as hell though. I guess some biker died trying to go down it and fell out the side. Same garage as this (0:18)

I never bombed it except the last section but used to skate from Thayer to downtown through traffic in my younger days all the time. I wouldn't do it now if you paid me. Man is sucked chasing your board if flew out.
