No doubt many of you have seen the shit-your-pants-with-excitement downhill skateboard vid that's currently making the rounds. If not, you can search for Claremount HD. It's almost too cool to post here. While pretty damn exhiliarating, the thought of one of those hipsters wiping out teases at my lizard brainstem.
The video below, however, does satisfy with the requisite payoff:

On a sorta sideways note, I've always wondered if reptiles felt some sort of instinctual pleasure at the death of "competition," i.e., other reptiles. Many dinosaur species lived in herds, so one might think that "So-and-so getting nommed by the local T. rex" wouldn't provide the same sort of delight we get at seeing other humans 'wipe out' (there's even some godsawful reality/competition show based on that exact phenomenon).

I used to do that when I was stupid and in High School, only without pads. I started out standing up, but after bailing once so bad that it took three months for the scabs to go away, screaming in pain every morning when my wounds would seep through the gauze and into my sheets and then harden into scabs that had to be torn off, I decided to stop.
Just kidding, I was an idiot, so I just stopped doing it while standing up. I got a six foot plank, painted it with flames, put some risers on it and extra soft rollerskate wheels, greased up some German bearings and went right back to it. It was completely retarded, but it sure was a lot of fun.

I watched a lunatic friend skate board from the Eisenhower Tunnel, just before its official opening, to Dillon. Not many of my pals of that era escaped serious injury but crazy Jim Boyden and his Corvair survived, last I heard.
Worst stunt I ever pulled myself was 90 mph on 650 Triumph down 2nd Ave with an overweight tv producer on back, just to get him to stfu.

Aren't there stories about the crazier bicycle types melting their brakes on roads like Highway 18 going downhill from Lake Arrowhead, and coming to grief thereby?
