Down a Colombian Mountain



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
