After noshing on Thanksgiving food, you might be unable to get out of your chair. You can at least get your adrenaline running by watching someone else display skill, athleticism, and a fair dose of insanity in a dangerous situation that no roller coaster ride could touch.
Skateboarder Chase Hiller (nominative determinism alert) glides down a mountain in San Felix, Colombia, at terrifying speeds. Over several miles, he dodges cars, passes motorcycles, almost takes out a dog, hits some wet patches, throws sparks when he touches the ground, encounters potholes and broken pavement, and manages to maintain for almost twelve minutes! At one point, Hiller even loses the video car following him. (via Nag on the Lake)

My ears popped twice while watching that
Yeah the video was taken by a guy/gal on a motorcycle and couldn't keep up in spots... or were smarter.
He startled some oncoming traffic on corners.
Should at least wear long sleeves and pants.

There's a reason automobile races are run under controlled conditions, and usually on closed courses. If he keeps this up, one of these days we'll see a video where he ends up as either a human hood ornament or a six feet patch of road rash.

Why do adrenalin junkie idiots like this even bother wearing a helmet?! Bicycle Bill for the win, LOL!
