- Cole Trotta full sends down an insane, crack filled, classic Berkeley road. For the very first time, without having any idea what the road looks like.
Do NOT blind drop runs. Its a extremely dangerous, and when you haven't seen the road, you could come hauling into water, rocks, etc... Cole is just a different breed of crazy, with an intense amount of skill. So ummmm.... Hope you enjoy the run, its GNARLY!
Skater: Cole Trotta
Filmer: Spud
Location: Berkeley, California
Instagrams: @linkedmedia, @spud4k, @coletrotta
Setup:
Wheels: Powell peralta snakes
Trucks: Aera K5 precision trucks
Skateboard: Prism Hindsight ;)
This run was originally in Cole's S1 HELMETS video part: First Descents Vol. 2. LINK HERE: • Cole Trotta / First De...

Lol im in the hospital right now cause i tried to blind ride a hill . Feels you revenged me with this insane run. Thy dude.
Get well soon brotha. Just fucked my ankle up really bad a week ago playing red rover with 2 old ladies and a dog
Dang that sounds scary as fuck. Get well soon!
avenged*
...been there too, heal up fast dude...
My two favorite DH players Spud and Cole ripping it up !!! I live in the Bay area and have family in the Reno / Sparks area > Y'all probably already know this but if not , There are some super duper sick runs in Sparks that are constantly being built up in the new housing area in Sparks NV. if y'all ever need a place to crash in SF bay area and in the Sparks Reno area hit me up . P.S. ask Cole when i can get my hands on his Descent model ::)> Thanks again Spud fro your sic cinematography / Filming >
Stay Safe Y'all, MIke Roff
This shits one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. No fking cap.
I don't know what's more impressive, this, or the guy behind him doing the same thing while holding the camera and maintaining the right speed.
Haha I film with a car. Different skillset. Definitely not as gnarly as skatin tho
@@spud4k I had a feeling it was a car, still badass
@@DarkFaze6477 Thank you!!
Cold Rolled Balls of Steel
Was about to say that felt a bit sketchy then I read the description hhh. That's one hella crazy dude
Utherworldly 👽
I wanna see cold ride some race wheels and tuck. He goes crazy fast just freeriding
Epic
I was glued the entire time. I dont get it. How do people master handling speed wobbles to that degree!?
Stay low. Quality gear. Balls of steel.
Many, many, many downhill runs
Fish ranch rd??
Ha ha , I work at the bottom of this hill, can I get a ride?
Is the cameraman in a car?
That was psycho, he was speedwabbling several times at like 50mph.
00:59
This is plainly fucked up. I skate being at 44 but even the scariest trick is nothin compared to this. I dont want to imagine what might happen when you would have bumped onto a middle size rock...
Intense. His commitment to staying in his own lane always impresses me......
I mean he would probably get hit by a car if he didn't
Regular Shadow That's a fact
His commitment to staying alive ?
@@xKegz Maybe saying this in comparison to other videos they posted, where riders cut corners pretty aggressively.
Lowell Calavera relax Lowdoggie no need to have a dig
This looks like Claremont Ave. - runs twisting all the way down the hill from Grizzly Peak to the Claremont Hotel. Dude is certifiable.
that's what I thought it looked like too. man, driving that road is sketchy as fuck, i can't imagine going down it on a plank of wood.
This is for sure Claremont Ave. Cracks on that road are intense.
Yeah I drive this road everyday! This is beyond gnarly!
Damn I never would’ve guessed that there were woods anywhere remotely near the bay ... shows what I know lol
Agreed. I crashed so badly going down here mid August on my road bike and I never send it there amymore. This kid is nuts
holy shittt def one of the best runs ive seen so far on this channel
Oh it’s only the beginning;)
Colombian Highway Madness // Raw Run...now thats a run :o
@@spud4k do you even think about other drivers? if you do one mistake and end up under someones wheels you also ruin their life
Adam K Now, grandpa. You know what the doctor said about getting all worked up.
That ain't nothing. Look up hills in SF. crazy shit!
This was an intense ride that had me on the edge of my seat!
Trotta is an absolute beast
Ive grown up driving over Claremont canyon, i go driving there all the time now in my mx 5 and see people boarding down pretty frequently. My friends tell me im crazy for driving the way i do, but i think you guys are the crazy ones lol. Keep doing what you love, if you ever see someone ripping around in a red miata say hey!
Sketchy asf bro, you have balls man, keep it up man
I’m more impressed with the guy filming than the guy being filmed
You’re an idiot🤦🏽♂️
@@gabrielisaiah2429 bruh wym it takes 10x more skill to do this while filming than it does to do it without filming
@@smileo1007 hes in a car idiot lol
Rekt
I've heard on other video's on this channel that the filmer is in a car. Camera's probably on the hood, or front bumper.
I've biked up and down that hill quite a few times, and I have to say, the GoPro effect is real here. That hill is MUCH steeper and has tighter turns than the camera makes it look. Good control dude!
Hi Evan, which hill is this? I live in the area hence the query. Of course, I have no plans to skateboard. But a careful :-) drive on this road may be fun.
Have a thought for the camera 🎥 man.
Pretty sure its mounted to the front of a truck
@@Sage-qd6tf follow car with mounted webcam. respect still cause 99% would assume that cole never bails, he is the 1% that has to take in account, he could :D
Yee! Bay Area
I always race up this road through grizzly peaks. Gotta lookout for the shit tons of cracks n potholes though.
Lol I love how he kickflipped it at the beginning
This is Claremont right? I bike this road at least a few times a week. Camera does not capture how big some of these cracks are. Much worse irl.. Super impressed.
Was wondering if this was Claremont or near Tilden somewhere. Good stuff
Cole trotta as always being the best and craziest hill dropper I've ever seen
What most people fail to comment on is the high speed controlled side slipping, very hard to maintain and requires intense concentration, well done
I love driving this road, can only imagine skating it!! Crazy. Also how tight are his trucks 🤣 no wobbles
One of my coworkers sons died doing this. Super cool until you hit a car with a combined speed of 100 miles an hour.
Thanks Debbie downer.
MrChristophr It's a lot cooler than dying in bed shitting into a colostomy bag....clutching feebly at your so-called "life".
alejandro landeros 😹
@@lowellcalavera6045 but still, dying young isn't living to the fullest either. The trick is to find the balance and embrace your limits. I respect every hill bomber though. What they do resulted from years of mastering the board and high speed, plus some massive titanium balls.
Quan Le Anh "Embrace your limits", huh? That's just "scared" in five syllables. (I'm 60, btw, so I'm officially "too old to die young".
You lot have the best videos; the pure downhill joy shines thru. Even my friends who don't care for skating watch them whenever I share. The talent is breath taking. 🤘🙇🤙
insane
Oh man, you'll probably beat me on my scooter
Thanks for not ruining the video with terrible music
bruuuh what's the mph on this run? it looks so fast
I would say some
50-70Mph
This guy is going fast, but no where near 70. I'm local and am very familiar with the road
50 mph. You'd need an engine to go 70 mph.
I just moved out of Berkeley and biked that hill a lot. I got up around 45mph pretty regularly, so I'd guess he's also topping out somewhere near 50.
I followed a skater once on my road bike and he was hitting 50.
🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪
Cole Trotta is the best is my idol I wish I had an autograph of him
biggest worry would be someone pulling out of their driveway and someone coming up hill where you'd have very little room to keep from going splat
17 dislikes? Must be 17 Soy Boys still living with mommy. Thanks for posting the video. Live on the edge!!!
Ahahahah thanks!!
I drove down that rode before and I always imagined one of you dope ass skaters smashin down the hill😲😲😲🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽and finally I see it DOPE BRUH
When I was watching it I was screaming WOOOOOOO, lolol
is this the road to Grizzly Peak? If so... godddammn. that was intense
Damn I take this road to hey 24 every day damn this road is intense
I always feel more impressed by the camera man keeping up and keeping the shot good
this kid is a boss
I've been down that road so many times omg.
Dude is insanely skilled for sure. But I cant believe how unfair and arrogant this is for the drivers. All it takes is exactly ONE mistake and he will end up sliding under someone's wheels, ruining not just his, but also the driver's life. Don't be selfish and do these on empty roads instead
Adam K Again??
Agreed. I respect his skill, but it's not just his life he's gambling with on this run.
Absolutely hardcore to the max. I know how steep Claremont is and how bad the road is - totally hairball!
he's going this fast only because his huge balls are weighing him down the slope.
take care man, amazing content!
Claremont Ave?
Wah???!?! DUDE! I've driven that way so many times... You're crazy! Haha... It's pretty cool, actually. 😲🤩✊
This hill scares me on a bike I can only imagine bombing it on a skateboard
Or a shopping cart
for real! we also go down much faster on a bicycle tho. but i would never blind drop in Berkeley the roads are extremely bad.
The shoulders usually have so many pebbles its easy enough to slip walking. Unreal.
Bako Troop please tell me you have watched the documentary about those guys
@@andrewgriffith5535 yeah lol. The one with the bums in Vancouver that bomb hills every morning looking for empties.
One of the most committed insane and what looks like potentially loose bushings run. Cray😢😮😂,!!!!
Cole is the most style
Blind run= selfish imo. Bummer that someone who didn't choose the trauma, like the driver that's gonna swerve to avoid u, is at risk.... Great skill for sure, just blind is a bad decision bc affects others.
Could one see the course map in a blind drop? I’m assuming not. Cole rocks my world. I’ll be his fuckdoll anytime )
Frontside,backside speed checks you are the illist good sir and that cameraman 🤯
That was awesome! Impressive ! wish we could close the street a day for everyone to go down! is a dead game with the cars ....especially bay area drivers to me it feels like climbing without a rope, when there are cars the dead dangers grow exponentially if no cars the worst would be a wipeout but with all the gear it can be manageable but going like this is like a major fee solo! Be safe! skate forever!
Death defying... It only takes 35mph to complete stop to kill you... Homie flew
I couldn’t relax watching this. This is better than watching some sports car rev through the hills. I used to think I was cool skating down steep hills, but this is just insane. Good sound too. I used to drive through that area three to five times a day.
All fun and games until some car happens to be on that lane for some reason and he can't stop
We can stop LOL
I drive this a bunch and this is crazy for just the number of rocks and cracks in the road caused by the hills. Really cool 📹 video
Jeez this run was fucking nuts. That moment he went over the manhole & his wheels came off the ground made my heart stop lol
Mad respect dude
That one kid blowing on the mic in a zoom class:
Every downtick here is either a parent, a first responder, or a local who drives here.
Intercat you forgot the fourth category. The scared boys who hate seeing people who aren't
How did you survive that run? Claremont's got some of the worst pavement in town from what I remember
I'm pretty sure this is Claremont.. many pot holes and cracks! #Certified
goes to show you can be talented, skilled, brave, lucky and stupid at the same time.
Prrretty sure you have no hair on your balls, hair wouldn't grow on steel!!! :)
特别喜欢你的作品，虽然更新慢，以后希望多多更新尽量一天一更
I live 1k from The bottom of this road. The first left is over a 20% grade.
I started longboarding and this is just inspiring me. Good job keep up the great work 🙌
Is this guy still alive or bug splatter on a windshield?
Verdad que estos chiquillos son bien osados,de verdad les felicito desde🇻🇪
that lions club park is a nice decent
:57 He probably scared the shit out of that driver
Longest Rideout for a kickflip ever
The wildest thing I have ever seen!!! Unbelievable!!!
Is this going down Claremont??
heyyy boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii i cccccc uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
bro having a good fucking time on claremont ave
Slows down to 50 and starts relaxing 🤣
One rock and he'd have been a bug splatter.
It's the tight speed wobbles for mee 😶😶😶
Sinister cause presents sequioa blues on TH-cam
Damn dude is beast mode!
I feel like this guy is not going to live long.... 🤘
Ohhh... Heavy road 🤦 amazing..
I am surprised the wheels are not on fire!
Erik Kostohne (0:06) : "Do a kickflip!"
Haha!! Paying homage
Those backside power slides were sick.
Holy fucken shit man
How don't these dudes wear leather??
BallS of STEEL!
holly F! this shit is scary as hell
What part of Berkeley is that?
Imaging driving pass that!!
