What idiot takes the bushings out of their trucks.
Might sound lame but my first board I got when me and my friends were like 8 or 10, we used to start out doing coffins down the big hill near us, then we'd sit on it. Then for awhile we'd kneel on it and go down (so deadly and unbalanced) lol and finally we started standing and bombing hills, on those old crappy wal-mart type decks, it was gnarly. Fell down a lot but thats before I even knew what skateboarding really was, just shredding hills, don't do it anymore though, I value my life more now haha.
Daewon rides for Tensor. Tensors are designed to not turn. Daewon likes turning. Daewon removes the bushing so he can turn.
what idiot bombs down hills on a skinny board with wheels?
IM A BOSS ASS BITCH
I never did speed checks.. I was younger. Usually I would hall ass and jump into the grass and roll.
The Closest thing to a speed check was a ruined shoe.
Speed wobbles only happened once or twice but it was shitty haha I remember the feeling after falling, everything spinning.
I don't think I would bomb a hill again.. New Mindset for skating for sure.
I used to do all kinds of stupid shit.. Holding manuals at nearly 10 mph or so it felt..
I remember it being pretty damn easy to balance.. but a rock, something distracting.. I would've been so fucked.
Really only remember one time I bombed a hill with friends.. There was one long ass road mellow as fuck
but we would carve it for so much speed.. Probably something like a 20 minute skate just cruising down this hill.. traffic was pretty minimal but you still had to watch that shit.
Learned my lesson about open roads the hard way.
I've never shared this before, But I think it's about time.
The Article Is cut off due to it being an older date, but you get the picture.

I'm not saying don't bomb hills do whatever you want..
Into traffic, Something is going to happen sooner or later. I take no more chances.
The Recovery was not even worth it.. It changed me completely.
Lost Short Term Memory for a few years, Had to relearn to walk..
Emotional stress from no where, eating shit through tubes.
It's sketchy.. But I guess that's what Hill Bombing is.

I have promised myself before I even started to never bomb live roads. Luckily there are many concrete hills on campus that are NOT roads.

Yeah Pawn I remember both of those videos from a while back.
That shit's still pretty gnarly. How many parking spaces was it again?
I think I would go like 20 max riding straight aways I wasn't getting pulled by a car though haha.
Well that's good.. Maybe it'll make some other people think twice about getting gnarly without thinking.
That's my only reason for sharing really.. Do what you want, just don't want to do it without.. thinking haha.
When i was in school (which was on a hill) we used to bomb it everyday, cause it was way faster than taking the bus, and it was way more fun. But also a lot of shit happened on that downhill like the following:
- broken kingpin (front truck) at highspeed
- too fast, pop to low... try to ollie a sidewalk and hang up with the back truck
- car coming out of a garage while i was speeding there, hippyjumped over the hood of the car, of course i landed on my face instead of my board
- whobbling trucks because of loose trucks, got out of control to eat dirt (several times)
it was a fun time, though <3
