How can that be real? Can you really go 70-80mph on a skateboard?

Not 70-80mph though. No more than half that, probably less. Looks faster because the camera is down low. Don't watch the road, look at the approach speed of the oncoming cars.

considering the violent danger that many street skaters endure, this ride was a bit wimpy. i loved it nevertheless. that is one hell of a road, no roads like that around here

Went about 20 the other day trying to catch my dog. Speed wobble, visions of insurance bills, brown underwear, etc... I will never do that again, just let the dog go.

How does the guy guy with the camera film and watch the road at the same time? He's the true nut.

I have a friend who was a "street luger". They would hit 60-70 mph constantly. He ate it on Templin Hwy and compounded his leg, career ending injury. No money making to speak of, just some X Games and a Mountain Dew commercial.

The CHP found an almost dead body lying next to the road near my house a couple years back. Little Tajunga Canyon is well traveled by the sport bike crowd so they spent several hours trying to find his bike. Turned out he was on a skate board.
