Unbelievable guts and confidence in what he's doing.
Confidence in spades. His posture going down is amazing. Total commitment. I saw this on my local news this morning and instantly wondered about the
bearings in those wheels. Then I found the vid. Dude owns a bearing company. How funny is that..?

OK Cheezy, that guy has some STONES! :o. Surprised he could fit 'me in those pants....
I loved his "air brakes" move (suddenly standing upright) at about the 1 and 2 minute marks. That is likely a lot harder than it may look. I used to
downhill ski race and hitting the air brakes like that on skis at warp speed can be a little risky even though you are held onto your skis with
bindings!
I wonder what he had on his hands. Sparks flew when he put his hand down.
The slide at the end to cut speed before the turn was just totally out of bounds!
The wife has venom wheels and bearings on her road skates.
Can't help but think of what could have gone wrong and what kind of flowers he liked.:o

They are called pucks,they help when you need to put your hands down. And that slide is how you scrub speed in a hurry. You can do the same on atb on
sand.

Always have mixed feelings about runs on public roads.
Pucks generally scrub enough speed for turns and transitions.... not sure they are enough for emergency braking.
It's worth noting that Danny Strasser wears a MC helmet and full leathers (most likely with armor inserts).... and what looks like aux. knee/shin
guards.
I think "Skateboard Fails" actually qualifies as a YouTube category.

I actually live about 10 minutes drive from the sliding park of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. Even with that level of convenience I just don't see
myself repeating any of these stunts in the remainder of my lifetime. :D
This one is one of my favs. The confidence displayed after the crash is impressive and I love his always on the edge style and the fact that he
throws standies at speed.
This one is a cowtastrophe
It always surprises me how some of the more serious dh riders don't pad up beyond a helmet. The pavement hurts at 5mph. When pushing 40 there won't
be much left of the palms elbows or knees. I pad up all the time and only go straight long enough to throw a nice slide. Jealous of them, I guess,
but I like my teeth, knees and elbows.
This guy is the phiz-schnizzle though when it comes to grinding.

That's sweet riding for sure . The limits they display are impressive. They all seem proportioned well for longboard size. The head is very close
to board and total mass must match board and wheel grip and general setup. Amazing
