Long Boarding The Bombay Hills Expressway In New Zealand At 60 Miles Per Hour
Posted on July 23, 2010 12:25 PMTags : Extreme Sports | Long Boarding | New Zealand
The group of daredevils from New Zealand and Canada, use long boards to travel downhill at highway speeds. These long boards are similar to surfboards but with wheels and reach speeds of 100 kilometers per hour or about 60 miles per hour.
The footage shows Canadian Andrew Chapman and a group of five others as they race down the Bombay Hills Expressway, passing cars and trucks. One of the riders can be seen as he is riding barefoot.
In New Zealand, pedestrians and long boarders are legally allowed to access highways, therefore no crime was committed.
The skill required to ride that fast, with cars and trucks around you, is insane. You have no brakes, either crash or slow down when the slope of the highway ends.
That guy with no shoes on and wearing just shorts and a helmet is crazy. Why would you want to do this with no shoes on? Luckily, this time, no one fell. With no shoes and a helmet, I am pretty sure that falling on asphalt going that fast would really hurt. Either way, so awesome.
