That's 10 terabytes of data whittled down to 3:18 of video.

That was really beautiful, thanks xoB.

I wonder what's going on at the leading tip of the strike before it's grounded.

Longboarder soars down Colorado hill at 70mph.



I was going to put this in the 'Idiot of the Day' thread, but I'm in a reasonably charitable mood, being replete with Sunday lunch, so I didn't.

Watch out for the sparks from the fasteners on his gloves when they make contact with the road surface.

The comments suggest that the location is Coal Creek Canyon CO.

Anyway, should I have the good fortune to visit Colorado once again, Hertz will have to forgo my custom as I shall be bringing my own skateboard.

Tickets available at all prices.

Stupid, risking your own neck is one thing but endangering others is irresponsible.

So true. If skateboarding here someone would have taken him out on a curve. I never ride close to the center line unless I can see way ahead.

I've done 55 mph on a bicycle coasting downhill through the foothills of the Colorado Rockies; but, did it at 02:00 hrs. when there was no traffic. Even if a vehicle appeared, I'd see it's headlights from a distance and have time to react. A full moon coupled with a bicycle headlight provided adequate illumination. Max speed was limited by the sharpness and frequency of road curves, the height of my center of gravity, and traction of the bicycle tires.

Body position doesn't help much until one achieves about 90 mph. That's when a body starts to pick up aerodynamic properties that can be used to stabilize position and control changes. At 110 mph, I've been able to lock a motorcycle throttle, take my hands away from the steering and raise them to shoulder level using wind resistance and my free fall (parachuting) control skills to keep myself and the bike stable.

I set the cruise on my bike yesterday at 62 on a 2 lane road without my hands on the bars for about 8 miles. Just stick my knee into the wind for curves. I frequently ride like this. When I had my Goldwing I would sit on the passenger seat up against the tour pack.

At that speed, the shifting of your weight when you put your knee out; also, leaning into the curve have more to do with it than wind resistance. It's more like riding a bicycle with no hands.

At high speeds, you don't have to stick parts of your body out, you just rotate the flats of your body.
