There's no way in a million years I would do this, however, I would LOVE to try it.
There was some stick-up-the-bum cop on the radio a minute ago whining about how dangerous it is, as if the guys doing it were unaware of the danger. The danger is probably why they do it!
I guess we should (sigh) be aware of the possibility it's dangerous to innocent people, but, you know....WHO CARES!!! Driving or walking in Chrsitchurch (and Manners Mall apparently) is dangerous.
And very clever editing, check out the videographer's broken and bandaged leg (17 sceonds in). Great cameo.
And they're wearing helmets. Good safety concerns guys! You rock!

The u-tube video doesnt give you any idea of how fast they are going. A couple of comments particularly stood out when I was reading it...1)"Riders wore safety helmets and had lights. Cars travelled ahead of them, and behind, to protect them from traffic in the same lane, Howard said..."Yeah right! A car in front videoing them was all I saw, including the cameo of videographer..one can only wonder how he got that?
2)"Myles Stanaway, 18...said he had been skateboarding down roads such as Major Aitken Dr for about four years. His father, Crown prosecutor Brent Stanaway, said he "was assured they follow road rules and take all due care".
He trusted his son to obey the law and respect people living nearby, he said.
Mind you it does kinda look fun, wonder how they would go going down Bowen Street, in Dunedin?
