Skateboarding the Alps

In this video, skate boarders Byron Essert and Alex Tongue, go full throttle down a steep road in the Alps, by digging their heels down and turning the skateboard so the wheels kind of grind along the asphalt, like a snowboard they are able to slow down or stop. A mind blowing move where slowing down is critical in saving their lives is illustrated at 1.25.
