Video: Extreme Downhill Skating in La Jolla

We missed the last few weeks' YouTube Clip of the Week due to technical difficulties. But don’t worry, this week more than makes up for it. If you are an adrenaline junkie, then get ready for your heart to race. The two-minute and 14-second video features two skaters traveling at extreme speeds down two well known and beautifully picturesque hills in La Jolla.

The first run is down La Jolla Shores Boulevard with a sharp turn onto El Paseo Grande near Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The second run is down a private road to Black’s Beach.

Don’t worry, though; the two Arbor Skateboard riders, Josh Hunt and Jimmy Riha, wear helmets, elbow and knee pads and hand guards.

Warning: brace yourself for the crash at around one minute and 42 seconds. “That was hurting—ow.” Indeed. 

The video was uploaded Oct. 28 and had 5,019 views as of early afternoon April 12.
