At the junction between the two roads, I took the road below where I was standing

that road looks reaally fun to ride, perfect speed perfect road, nothing exceeds, plus it looks safe

**SpeedFiend** · 01-06-2009 06:45 PM

how fast was it? 40+?

40 + most of the way down, I hit over 55 in the bottom section that is butter pavement with smooth turns.......so much fun

not much of a 'follow car' they were hardly keeping up with you, hard to really tell how fast it was in the video, sick spot though

**SpeedFiend** · 01-07-2009 03:18 AM

i just though Kauai was just an unreal place in terms of natural and raw beauty.

Nice run glad to see you came to one of the Hawaiian islands and enjoyed it. What better way to do it doing something you enjoy doing. Aloha

**Petary791** · 05-18-2009 11:06 AM

Holy crap, 55 in shorts and a t-shirt?! I really need to step my game up. Sweet skating btw.

Something to be desired? A 4 minute long, 55 mph run isn't enough?

Its actually 35 mins, my aunt didnt know how to use my digital camera. I just wanted to have some footage to show to funnest bomb ever!

BUT

This video is of the service road to waimea canyon road.The actual Waimea Cnayon road is much gnarlier in parts, but has a lot of flat sections, and is not downhill the entire way, but still has some BEAUTIFUL sections.
