The gnarly camera passing in the claremont video was a big inspiration towards the way we filmed this video. The go pro follow cam or filming from the side of the road is just getting boring unless you do it right, so we wanted to mix things up a bit.

Bad idea? This is the most fun I've had skateboarding in a while plus I think the video turned out pretty nice. Yeah it was a bit sketchy but that's what makes hills interesting around here since it's so flat.

**Matt C** · 09-24-2009 12:46 AM

Really I thought it was when the bus flew past them, or when the other bus almost pulled out in front of them, ooooorr when we told them

**Matt C** · 09-24-2009 12:49 AM

Nevermind that last post. How fast were you going??? I probably would have crapped my self if I saw that bus come around that curve in the beggining

Nothing beats almost dying on a skateboard. Unless there's a chance of getting run over by a car, I can't even bust a skatenut anymore.

**SpeedFiend** · 09-24-2009 11:29 AM

its more fun for me when i can use the other lane up top, so i like it at night

Almost dying is the closest any of us can come to really living.

I am the real Batman.

Nice video....sketchy pavement=ballsy and fun

**Heartichoke** · 10-21-2009 04:03 PM

I'd be down like a clown! Let me know when or where. I got a wierd schedule. From what I've seen this city is flatter than a fifth grade girl, so any good carving hills would be welcome!
