Most dangerous race in the world? Isle of Man. But the title did get me to watch this sport of which I have never seen before. It looks a lot harder than the roller blade downhill racing. Those slides must hella fun but would cut your speed drastically. Downhill go-kart racing in Europe is also fun to watch. More power to high speed sports! Love it.
I do Longboarding professionally and honestly it’s a lot harder then it looks, one wrong move and you’re out, you cannot compare it to any other downhill sport, it’s a unique and extremely difficult sport
@@aruyomashii8027 agreed, you can't catch your balance on a skateboard, one wrong move and you're done. Blades are stuck to your feet so it's really hard to fall
@@erickrodriguez2813 Yeah all redbull head sponsored sport are extreme and not really competitieve around the world. You have 50 -100 in the whole world lucky enough to train that and have the streets and the space for it
this is dangerous but not the most , that title belongs to the Isle of man where average 3 riders die every year over 260 since the first race in the 1920s
Man, in late May 2013 I dropped and bombed I-15 off the mountain where Nellis Airforce Base is located. I was riding on 100 mm mountain board wheels/tires just like these guys. What a great summer, I long boarded from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City. Well over 500 miles.
Gotta admit, they look ridiculous at the start. 01:17 They look very masculine & INTIMIDATING on the line up, then when they take off, 01:25 it's very anti-climactic & they look like effeminate trans-women flailing their arms.
Love it. I think a bunch of us metal head stoner skaters invented this in the early 80s. All throughout the Bay Area. We’d come home with our jeans shredded, the rubber burnt off our shoes and road rash all over. I remember running over all my fingers while reaching down for my Powell Peralta. They were a mess! I’m 51 but still skating with my 3 daughters. 🤘🏻
Ahem, try a bit earlier. I was 12, in '76, when I 1st Raced in Downhill, in Colorado. Yet, I am from (still) VT. I wasn't stoned [yet], but once I got that way, I was Streetluging by '78. "PSR"
Something's not right about that scene cut at the end! Diego was a couple of metres in front of second place at 3:58, and from the panoramic shot we can see 3 corners and the finish line in the distance. But, cut to the finish line shot which is just 1 second from the last shot - and Diego is coming into the finishing straight and 2nd and 3rd are 100 metres behind! If 2nd had had a spill, then the black suited guy would have been in second! So they miss out on TWO crucial corners at the end of the race!!
@@jamesphang151 You ARE kidding aren't you?! No sport has or would cut the final three corners off of a race! Especially when it had been so close for so long! Something interesting happened to 2nd, and they cut it! REALLY amateur editting!
@@derekpierkowski7641 it was a freestyle drone. His piloting was awesome. Since you don't fly let me explain. Aerial photography drones have cameras that are plumb ( always level) no matter what the quad is doing. A freestyle drone has a fixed angle on the camera. You are flying and feeling like a bird. Chasing skaters going this fast is very challenging. You do not have brakes. The pilot's job is to keep the skaters in frame. It's not easy. Go out and try and get back to me.
I can't imagine racing on a skateboard on a regular motorway, with all the usual irregularities in the pavement: potholes, cracks, and patches that aren't absolutely flush with the surrounding pavement. These four racers, and the man on the skates (camera operator?) all made it down without a wreck, but I was holding my breath.
@@Trainboy1EJR since this looks like a custom fpv drone this is very unlikely to have such a function. Looks to me more like production fumbled for the first one and then the pilot raised the throttle to get his video back at the end
I've been watching videos of people doing this on public roads. It's pretty amazing. It's hard to imagine going that fast on a skateboard. In those videos they pass cars and motorcycles like they are standing still. Just crazy. They definitely need a better drone operator to film these. They missed all of the passes and exciting parts. Lol. Every time the announcers started getting excited and going crazy the camera was not pointed at them. Lol.
This was a nothing burger race compared to the one you spoke of, I saw that guy he was awesome passing cars and motorcycles and the road was rough with water crossing it also it was much longer than this short event...just sayin'
@@steviewonder6952 well, yes, obviously he isn't going 200 mph. I was talking about this video and the cars and bikes that he was passing. No where near 200 mph. I think the wheels would fall off if a skateboard was going that fast. Lol .
@@egroegartfart watch a TT race with Guy Martin or Michael Dunlop, your race is for kiddies compared to their racing in fact Michaels father, uncle and brother all perished doing the same racing.
Wild to see how the sport has evolved since the days of Southern California hills '77/'78 on Turner Summer Ski boards and later, my 34" Jeff Vogli custom using Kryptonite Green "Core" Wheels! Shorts and a bicycle helmet! :D
You should have seen how primitive we were in the early 60's. I wish I were young so I could try what they were doing. Putting a skateboard into a drift at the speed they were doing has to be a true thrill.
@@blumobean Yeah I have, there's a decent film here on TH-cam from the 1960's - it's a cheesy film, but kind of gives an insight - clay wheels, kids skating bare footed, kind of cool. I have that same sense of envy when I look around the UK and see that virtually every town in the country has a mini skatepark of some sort and they're usually empty as so few kids actually do it and yet in the late 70's - early 80's there was 10's of thousands of us if not more and the b*******s wouldn't make us any parks!
They had a event in lake Elsinore ca and steep down hill race that a skate Boarder crash and Died I don't think they never had another race on the hill
An exciting race, with danger ever-present, some fantastic camera shots & an all-round thrilling watch. Yet there's still some people who don't give these people any credit for all of that & only make some sarcastic comment about a piece of the action being 'missed'. Ungrateful, self entitled wretches. This was brilliant & REALLY well filmed.
Once upon a time I was a Marshall at Bathurst (Hills corner) for these guys....sweeping up the teeth and skin. They went round there 10km/h faster than the V8 supercars.
Thrilling stuff and clearly has a high-risk tariff. Is it more dangerous than the Isle of Man TT though? (I appreciate that some might not regard this as a race).
@@alexandrostzouganakis.eurotrap I appreciate it's different. I was questioning whether it is the most dangerous race in the world, particularly given the frequent fatalaties at the Isle of Man TT. Personally, I wouldn't have the nerve to compete in either but, of the two, I find the TT event more terrifying.
@@Tailspin80 do we have wing suit racing yet? Cos that could potentially overtake Isle of Mann, although really, only time would tell. It's a big ask for a sport to kill more people that IoM TT...
These racers are very good but also very crazy. I guess if there is a wreck you don't have to worry about being caught up in the wreckage of the vehicle.
Great video until like the crucial last 100m were cut out so we never see how a two person race for first suddenly became a two person race for second. Other than that, awesome!!
Yeah and they missed the race for 2nd place as so busy focusing on the winner. Why do camera people and directors always do that? So annoying. Happens in athletics all the time and it drives me mad as often the winner is way out in front and all the action is going on behind but we miss it in favour of shots of the crowd clapping the winner.
David, try it sometime if you dare, then you'll take it seriously and understand what it's all about, especially if you take a bad spill at those speeds. Good luck!
So you're going to totally ignore what happened to the P2 guy at the end. How did he lose 200 yards all of a sudden? And you ignored the P4 guy at the beginning. How did he suddenly drop way back?
Not trying to be a douche or trying to take away any merit from this guys cuz this is an amazing sport that takes a lot of skill and cojones but the title of "Most dangerous race" would be more appropriate for the Isle of man TT. For those who dont know look it up, its insanity on wheels.
Quite interesting that they're all on the same gear, same wheels, trucks, and boards. It would be more interesting if you told us what brands/size they are.
camera work steady deterioration until it climaxed for massive fail at most important finale
Next time, you do it. Jerk.
So much this.
Thanks!
Thanks to you
Isle of Man is the most dangerous . 269 deaths since it has started . 3 minutes of downhill skateboard doesn’t compare
Have to agree with you 100%
Absolutely insane 💯
skateboarding really had the 2 commentators on edge, hahaha. tt race leaves everything so far behind
Because of sure stupidity. this is controlled chaos that actually takes skill
This is dangerous. It's not Isla of Man dangerous for sure.

Looking at some of the crashes in WRC that looks way hairier than this too . Just bigging this up to get more views imo
Ha! my reaction was same. Most dangerous race IS the Manx TT, second comes close (NW200), the rest dont come close.
@@aruyomashii8027 agreed, you can't catch your balance on a skateboard, one wrong move and you're done. Blades are stuck to your feet so it's really hard to fall
Props to the _RADICAL_ skills of the drone pilot and blade-runner camera man!
The fact that this sports hasn't blown up is such a shame. Such exciting racing.
❤️❤️
I think a big problem is that finding areas to train and learn are very limited

😂
보는 내내 손에 땀이, 결승선 통과와 동시에 내가 숨을 안 쉬고 있다는 사실을 알았다. 선수 모두에게 박수를 보냅니다. 대단한 경기였습니다.
Great racing with a very scenic mountain course. High rise car parks also work well for racing and they even have elevators to the top floors.
urethane burners: travel, chase cars, ..
Haha, yes they do. We used to come down them on our inline skates. And the best part was taking the elevator to the top.😃
This is cool. I haven’t seen much skate board hill bombing races since I was a kid in the 80’s. 🤙🏻
Can we have a moment to appreciate the drone operator(s)?
Maximum control there - loved it
Wow, super cool racing. Thx 4 sharing on Utube.
Those drone shots were crazy. Bravo. Great race. 🎉

burning asphalt, and cpncrete too!amazing race!!bravo!
what a great thing , setting audio back and enjoy the race without the stupid comments
Impressed, not seen this before. Certainly very dangerous, but also certainly not the most dangerous race in the world. That would be the TT.
Absolutely
The Isle of Man TT is far and away the most dangerous race in the world. This is literally child's play compared to that.
Hilarious how you totally blew the shots of the only 2 serious passes 😂
Ya wonder if the drone was losing signal 😔
@@Eduardo_Espinoza As someone with a drone, signal loss is 100% what happened, it increased altitude, turned, and initiated return to home.

This racer got true freedom
When numbers and all results to compare !! ??
Don’t see these guys hitting 200mph like at Isle of Mann ! But an entertaining racing format !
Yep. That's what I was thinking.
Came here to say this. By no means a safe race but it's not 200mph or through a village at 180mph.
You guys should check vulcan or tutonia downhill race (here on youtube). It's not 200mph but its as ballsy, trust me
It is great to see that the new generation of male brain and your way of thinking is alive and well and doing fine.
Great effort by all. 👍
i think down hill skateboard is crazy but most dangerous? - have you heard of isle of mann TT?
Would be cool if they were telling us how fast they're going
This is so cool! Like the final battle in the movie Thrashin. Always wanted to do something like that after watching that movie as a kid.
Whoever thinks this is "the most dangerous race in the world" has never seen the Isle of Man motorcycle race
Te mando besos Lup
If this is the most dangerous race, what’s the TT?
What a final pass he made to come 🥇...wow, we'll never see the likes of it again..😐
Forgot to pack the binoculars.
what happened at the end? suddenly Diego was way out front?
This was much better in real life than some of the other channels that have CGI boarding claiming it's real.
Lol wut who u think does that ?
... and how long do these little wheels last ??

Their names are Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls them Giorgios
the drone shots is simply amazing
shoutout to who ever control the damn thing
Crackin race! Absolutely hanging camera work and direction tho
What was top speed, and how far was that...Roost
That was so exciting to watch!
Ever watch the TT isle of man, that is the most dangerous race in the world, but you guys got balls and skills
eu não sabia que existia essa modalidade em competição,muito TOPBAHIA BRAZIL
How fast are they going??? I hit 38 mph every day 5 days, it’s pretty normal for me at this point. Will going 45-55 mph in the near future!
cmmt c'est lourd d'avoir une prod vidéo comme ca sur un event
Try Isle of Man TT, road race. thanks for this however great.
It's a walk in the park compared to the Isle of Man T.T!
Can't compare
Exactly !!
Besides the riders, what I find impressive is the drone pilot. Staying on the course following them is extremely hard.
Another words don't try this at home. Amazing downhill racing.
Boneappletea
Damn, how fast are they going?
I might do this in a row caged go cart. Maybe.
Can't decide whether I'm more impressed by the riders or the dude flying the drone
How is this more dangerous than the Isle of Mann Motorcycle race?
It's not. Not by any means. Did somebody say it was?
First time I've seen this. What is the guy on skates doing following them? Is he a ref, safety, or something else?
It would be so cool so see what speed they are going.
85km/h max on this track I think, but the thing that make this track hardcore, IS the destroyed pavement , that is more concreat than pavement 😂
enjoyed that, great racing, but the most 'dangerous race in the world' ? i think not ... Isle of Man TT maybe
I would've liked to have seen more helmet cam views. Every contestant had a helmet cam but rarely were those viewpoints used. 😮
Isle of Man TT is the most dangerous race in the world this is extreme as well thou.
WOOOOO
WOW
"The most dangerous race in the world"??? Isle of Mann TT would like to have a word.
Darth Vader's grandchildren.
Yoda's grandgrandchildren [froghighspeedjumpposition🤢] ... heaven knows 🐸

0:15 What gear might that be? What Wheels, What trucks, What Deck? ... Two guys are Waring Wetsuits instead of Leather. Falling is not an Option.
So whatever happened to the camera guy on skates?
So how many died? Isle of Man TT might have be a tad more dangerous.
What kind of top end speed do they reach?
We did this back in the 70's in tandem. Awesome speed.
can anyone tell me what roller skates that guy had in the start of the race?
Quite interesting that they're all on the same gear, same wheels, trucks, and boards. It would be more interesting if you told us what brands/size they are.
Isle of Man, but very dangerously Awesome!
Where in turkey is this ?
I’m curious. What speeds are these guy traveling at? I’d imagine there’s no weekenders trying this.
