    Default Barefoot race video!!!!

    Man, I saw that video on www.steelduck.com and I could not resist to share it with you guys.
    You can see on it a barefoot speedboard event. Unbeliavable!

    A footbraking would be a serious issue!!!!!
    That video is awesome. Congrats to the website owner for hosting that.
    I would not ride that way and I'm not stimulating anyone to do that. It's really dangerous. I'm only posting it to show something I've never ever seen: a BAREFOOT RACE!!

    Those guys got balls...
    This is the link for the video: http://www.steelduck.com/video/hss.mov
    It takes a little long time to download but it's worth waiting!
    PROUD WEFUNK AND PAVEL RIDER

    It's what we all REALLY come to races for... Talking about it afterwards!

    Heh... glad you apriciated it. That video was made by two Finnish Longboarders Marko Takanen and Aapo (I dont remember his last name) and I am hosting it for them.

    The barefoot racing pumped up the adrealine especially on a rookie like me.

    The event was really fun and it will hopefully be an annual event. Here are some pics from the event:

    Thanks for the comments quys.

    Racing without shoes may sound dangerous but it isn't. We are just fixed to shoes too much nowadays. Anyway, the hill was so tiny that it would have been boring to race it with shoes.

    Crazy Finns racing barefoot. learned way back in the 70`s when I was
    just a beginner that riding barefoot can be dangerous. 2 broken toes at
    the tender age of 12 told me to keep my shoes on. I just happen
    to be a Finn myself. My Father didn`t learn to speak english till he started
    school. Do you know of many Kallinen`s in Helsinki ? Its not a common
    last name around here thats for sure.
