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.
