San Francisco is like the Mecca of skateboarding, it's where Thrasher Magazine, the skate bible is located. There is really no other place on earth with hills like San Francisco.
Bombing a San Francisco hill does not compare to nromal skateboarding, within 3-4 seconds of standing on your board as you begin to get pulled down the hill by gravity the adrenaline rush occurs.
The key to bombing hills (going down the hills full speed on a skateboard) is to relax, which is counter-intuitive in a situation where you think you are about to die. Relaxing the ankles and the mind are crucial, if you tighten up the ankles, you will get speed wobbles and die.
This video was shot during a week-long stay in San Francisco in Bernal Heights. I was lucky enough to have my best friend living in San Francisco for a time, and he invited me to visit. These are memories I will never forget.
