Dude, thats ####### insane. You would have to have something wrong with you to do that.

...as if skitching wasnt dangerous enough!

Why the hell did they choose a squiggly dragster as skitcher?

it only went 160mph, which about half as fast as dragsters can go usually. Theyre pretty stable at lower speeds thanks to the monster engines.

hahaha I'd like to see the driver forget his mission and pull the chute

**Longbord1** · 12-13-2008 09:07 AM

DUDE GNAR!! That was some serious acceleration!

**SpeedFiend** · 12-13-2008 12:19 PM

that was serious.

That would suck, expecially going 160

**bagelbum** · 12-15-2008 02:26 AM

Damn. I wonder if he could have stayed standing had he let go...

**karrot** · 12-15-2008 02:37 AM

but i thought getting towed to speed meant nothing?
it obviously takes no skill at all. i mean, if he was good, he would do it with gravity. duhhhh
stupid silverfish

**TexasBomber** · 12-15-2008 02:52 AM

Wow, pointless kinda stupid.

**sk8norcal** · 12-15-2008 08:57 AM

YouTube - insane inline downhill

i wonder how fast the inliners went at teutonia?

**Pat S** · 12-15-2008 11:19 AM

seems kinda dumb since he's holding on to the car the whole time.....

still pretty crazy though.

**mc99david** · 12-15-2008 11:22 AM

really, if his skates came out from under him, he would just need to hang on to the poles and hold himself up and he'd be fine. didnt' look too great to me.. but still.. how about a tow into a hill like that

**Longbord1** · 12-15-2008 11:24 AM

It's not even about the speed IMO. That acceleration seems like it is enough to rip joints apart.

**surfonsnow214** · 12-15-2008 04:28 PM

If he let go he would have been straight cashed. Theres so much lift at that speed that he would have just fallen over and died

**DSquared09** · 12-15-2008 08:40 PM

How do rollerbladers brake when they're going fast downhill like that?

obviously footbreaking is out of the question, would you just place your feet sideways like in hockey?
