  Participating in sports is now for “internet points?” Downhill skating has been around since the 70s

  For internet points? Sorry, we were doing this long before anyone knew about the internet.

  That’s no skateboard, that’s a longboard specifically made for these kind of downhill rides

  This post is broken somehow. Also why does it link to another post?

  So are there 2 people skating at 50 mph for internet points, the second being behind the camera? If so, hats off to that dude, crazy skill to keep this so stable and in frame

    Seems like its being recorded by an auto-following drone with some heavy image stabilisation

    Normally the skater is tailed by a car or motorcycle.

    SOURCE: I bombed for years and was a fixture in Silverfish. I mainly repped Rayne, Soda Factory and Earthwing.

      Silverfish, that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. Used to rep for Madrid a long time ago

  See no problem: the job must be paid according to its usefulness. Internet points look like the most appropriate type of payment for something like “skateboarding 50mph downhill”.
