RE: Bombing Giants Head Mountain With Branders0n - First Ever Video Of 2 Steemit Members Longboarding Together

in #longboarding5 years ago

Man I loved the powerslide at 5:40 ;). Good shit bro!
One question though. How come these roads are closed? Are you organizing some kind of events and get a permission to skate these roads or you just say fuck it, no car will come? Hahaha!

Sort:  

This Giants Head Freeride, it's just past 10 years of running. It started out as just skaters skating the open road, but the town around it got upset. so as a compromise they let them shut the road down once a year, for 3 days to host this event. Then we all stay in a campground near by, which usually turns into a giant party on the last night.
That corner is called Deadman's Corner, which is the second fastest corners on the hill, and the biggest. If you mess up, there is a pretty big drop right at the end of the corner, which you do not want to fall down! They call it the Temple Of Doom!

Hahaahahah! I can guess why they call it like that!
Awesome video bro and thanks for the info!
