Watching you loangboard at mountains give us calm chest space to watching bro
I wonder what is your top speed since you started boarding?
Hey Josh,
I am not sure if you already do design protective gears for skateboarding. If you don't, you should definitely consider designing something that doesn't compromise mobility yet safe.
I love your videos by the way!
"Lets see what is faster!"
/Everyone just rides together like bros instead
Yeah that made no sense but cool video
No compitas, haz compitas
Plain reason is that the bike is faster and more controllable
@@freeridefried The bike was all over them for sure. He could've gone right by at anytime. The boarders though, full respect. They're crazy!
@@Laspatoadv Don't compete, complete
When the biker went over the hump on the side of the road, my heart went “😧💀”
Ya man! Saw it in the corner of my eye and was like ....... daaamn ;) Chilling moment for sure.
@@immersivegamer7640 i saw it the second i saw this comment

Almost entire video is sped up, no way he is doing that at 50Kph+

@@albertbinu836 Can I have his bike?
wow
The winner is the one that doesn't go over those non guardrailed cliffs!
hahahah true 😂
Real talk everything everyone else except the Boarders.. they'll just slide off onto the asphalt 😉 but they fast asfk boi I don't think peeps really understand.
@@mikepower596 and they ride with shirts... 😱
At that speed, going off the cliff might be preferable to hitting the guardrail...

My pants suddenly turned brown.
Didn’t even notice that! Instant death
@@offpherj7884 He did it on purpose
The fact that he survived all of his INSANE speeds down roads but dies in a tour guided plane crash blows me away. Very sad. He definitely lived on the edge
Wait what who died
@@Yakuza-dz1pf Josh died. He was killed while in Iceland. Small plane crash.

P.S. check your spelling as well. It really does matter.

Safa’s berm ride was insane
right!! He is so insanely crazy and talented hahaha
What in the actual hell just happened?!
He is risking it big time. I ate shit and broke my wrist for trying shit like that. Never again!
For a second I thought he actually lost his line…
@@alejandromoreno5056 Risk is relative. He is probably 20x as good as you are.
From the perspective of a lifelong cyclist, this was very cool. The cyclist here was definitely no slouch, which made the performance of the longboards even more impressive. Well done by all!!!
So glad you enjoyed it Kevin! :)
I’m loving the aero tucks, idk why they banned them :(
@@nicksubong1700 to unfairly in my opinion rein in Sagan
@@sastaffa Or because noobs were trying it in wide open traffic. Hi - I'm noob :)
"safa tries to kill me" one of the most epic bike videos i have ever seen.
I love how it's just them, their longboards, bikes and nature. No special Fx no green screen, nothing. The definition of freedom.
Just them and the car coming up the hill in their future. Really cool.
ima just take a second, I feel the driver is probably under rated, lets give him a round of applause aswell.
That what Im thinking one mistake could have killed all of them and he had pretty much no reaction time because of how close they were.
Why? For blowing over the double yellow endangering everyone’s life? No.

@Steve Warlee Sounds like you have never seen a fatal car accident, probably not even old enough to drive a car. Ask a paramedic what they think of it.
When I first saw your comment, I was like, "Yup! My balls backed up into my body."
An amazing display of skills and insanity by all! The Driver, the Cyclist, and the three Longboarders. Excellent video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much Miguel
If you can skateboard.a normal deck to a medium. level it's an easy sport to pick up.
We used mega ramp decks and tried the same thing that's was fun .
50mph on a bike feels quick, on a long board it feels like your about to jump star systems
Feels like im getting closer to god
I feel like they're not doing 50, with the cyclist pedaling with a slow cadence downhill, unless he's on a 70 tooth chainring
@@Mike0 To be honest Mike after writing that comment I thought 30-40 mph was more realistic but it was too late....
The Tour de France descenders are doing 60 + mph and they are on the best bikes and playing to win. This guy would have to be a pro or top amateur to be breaking 50mph you would have thought.
@@henryburton6529 When on downhill, energy is gravity. So, the heavier the faster with two conditions : good aerodynamics and the less contact surface on ground + the weight should be ideally pointed towards the front rather than the ground, otherwise it would reduce the speed
I never made it past Cat 2 road racing and have done 50mph descents. The straight aways feel fine but the corners are scary. The biggest thing that surprised me is the wind noise. But absolutely agree - can't imagine what that speed would feel like on a longboard!
I got passed by some long boarders in CO a few years back. I saw them coming, pedaled some but realized that they were going to pass me so I let them by so I could watch what they were doing. This road had much sharper switchbacks and the boarders were throwing it sideways to 1. steer 2. control speed. It was awesome to watch. We met at the bottom and talked for a bit. Very cool, never thought a small diameter wheel would do that but with a lower profile they sure did!
Definitely surprised me too (re: high speed on such small wheels). But this video really shows well the huge difference in frontal area when those boarders are in full tuck position!
@@johncho8766 yeah the cyclist almost looks like a parachute in comparison lol
I gotta say, nice job on the racing, video editing, camera view, and all of that talent that you and your friends have and showed together. Wish you all a safe ride skating and biking. Totally inspired by this. One big like on this these videos you are having!
Much appreciated Mohammad!
@@JoshNeuman I didn't know you died, Josh. Man. Thanks for everything. You're too young to go. Thank you, man.
Biker: rolls right over medium sized rock at high speeds. Skateboarders: It was at this moment he knew, he fucked up
hahahaha
The advantage of air filled tires, but the rolling resistance is far superior on Skateboards
Rocks aren't the issue when going that fast on a board, speed wobble is just a deadly as a rock and can be caused at any point if your balance isn't on point or you don't have nerves of steel.
No doubt they are more of a death-sentence to boards... But 80 PSI tires aren't super polite to rocks either! It is a little easier to bike to micro-adjust steering quicker i think or staight up hop over them too.
@@basementjesus7346 I first experienced speed wobble on a giant asphalt downhill in Rocky Point, Mexico. Just completely ate it going really fast, luckily got tossed off into a section of the street covered with dirt...right in front of a taqueria full of patrons. I have since grown up and become less of a dumbass, never really went that fast again as I realized I had zero control over the speed wobble - that is a terrifying feeling.
other people: "oh look how beautiful the camerawork is"
me: "it was a simple YES OR NO QUESTION!"
I like to see skateboarding this as a Olympic sport.
Longboarding. Skateboarding is already a olympic sport I think.
Olympics are lame. Skateboarding is for skateboarders.
I would love that too!
@@TheUnholyPosole And who else then skateboarders would skateboard on Olympics? :d

@@christianpascual4525 skate? This is longboard
So awesome! That's incredible how fast the Long-boards are.
thank you Charlie! and I think the bikes and longboards have certain pros and cons depending on the style of road but they were definitely close here!
I honestly thought the rider would have it easy, damn have i been proven wrong...
@@daktus05 the second he went aero he was gone, plus he was just coasting, good job he sat up with flappy clothing for the ride otherwise there wouldn't have been much of a video.
@@fergusdenoon1255 i think the biker was slow because of the long boarders ahead because I mean we all know bicycle is faster.
If the tarmac is less smooth the bike wins i think
Ayeee safa and the boys ! Never thought I'd see safa and Josh in the same vid , crazy :)
I'm a cyclist (prefer off-road) and i started longboarding 6 months ago. I totally enjoy it. Had my worst fall recently. Hahaha. Your videos inspire me to keep practicing. Greetings from Malaysia.
Greetings from the US Daniel! Thanks so much for watching :)
buy life insurance, your love one deserve piece of mind
Josh, how about correcting the clickbait title. Just title it Bros having fun downhill, if you really want to see more fairly who's faster do it again and take the chain off Safi's bike.
Ok I watched this again, how fast do they actually get up too as it looks about 50mph. Now on a racing bike thats fine but them dudes on the long boards, are just totally out of this world. Them longboards should need wheelbarrows before them to carry their oversized balls. Respect to them dude and amazing performance from the whole team. Loved the Video.
thank you so much Paul!
2:03 alone in my living room I LITERALLY just said "What the FUUUCK?!" out loud. could not contain it. these kids be cookin' with grease y'all.
Eek. @2:03 and 2:30am equals "household now awake after ensuing *WHOA!!*"
I hear that! @@freedom_born Safa Brian is out of control and must be stopped at all costs. ;) I would pull that move exactly 0 out of 10,000 times. soooo much fun to watch though. =)

Was searching for a comment on this, cuz it was absolutely fucking insane and very dangerous as well.

Man I'm getting old. I'm glad you all are out there having fun and pushing boundaries, but I can't help but to be nervous for ya!
holy shit
jesus resurrected in digital form holy shit!
👼💩
Nice to see you again jesus
Things looks fine and easy, but skill and long way of patience will be needed to achieve such level.
Damn, Safa Ben can rip it on the descents! He was pinning some of those turns in the super tuck, respect!
right! he's seriously so talented
Not really a contest, looks like nobody's reeeeally trying- if the cyclist were wearing typical bike garb and not jeans and a loose windbreaker, he'd be pretty much running over the longboarders when he is drafting behind them- add the super tuck with some lycra and he'd disappear down that hill from the boards without pedaling much if at all. That said, if the longboarders were wearing skinsuits, maybe an aerodynamic draw......so maybe I'm wrong ;)
Longboarders are nuts(but they def have my respect) as they roll with little to no real predictable or effective braking power- props to them and @2:03 proves the skills of the cyclist. Few roadies besides Sagan and a handful of lunatics I used to ride with in my mid 20's would even consider a move like that at that speed and with those consequences on the road. DH MTBer's are a different breed though lol, but you rarely see one on a road bike.......
Yeah that was intense at 2:03
the long board should be faster at least in theory because of the center of gravity.
@@robertopics F=M x A - resistance... more air resistance on the biker
@@mathiastollefsen yeah that as well, but the cyclist could compensate for that by pedaling but on the turns the cyclist has to slow down more on the turns. Any way we look at it the long board has the advantage going downhill.
I dont know about that.. pro peleton guys can do 50mph on the flat - ive seen video of them coming down a mountain at speeds so fast the camera bikes cant keep up.. full on 2 wheel drifts etc.. look up Peter Sagan swiss down hill run from a few years ago - but then again that is a bit like getting someone who rides fast on a motorbike compared to a motogp rider.. so not that fair a comparison.
Wee! This was so fun to watch, haha! Thank you so much for this!
Riding in close formation, dressed in street clothes, with a cliff on one side, oncoming traffic on the other, and a car traveling very closely behind... that's a lot of risk if anyone falls! Sure makes for a fun video, though.
exactly, and i like the idea of brakes on the bike
Imagine just driving up a hill and you see 3 skaters, a biker, and a car with a gimbal mounted on the hood just hauling ass down hill.
hahaha would probably be pretty wild 😂
Great video visually, although the title was pretty misleading as it wasn't really a race but rather riding together. Also the course of the downhill winding asphalt road was entirely to the longboards advantage, if it were any uphill or off roading bikes would obviously win.
Brilliance personified. Talk about "poetry in motion" WOW!! 👏
Imagine, if a skateboard has 2-inch wheels and is going 50 miles per hour, the wheel speed is about 8400 rpm.
Now do the math on the stresses on that tiny bearing at that speed and load, for a bigger surprise......
0:43 that's my front door!!!1
Where was this filmed?
Which decent is this?
That was truly a beautiful thing to watch. Great riding by all, thanks for the video.
Renegade- When Your Lights Go Out
Is the song if anyone else digs it.
Awesome video.
Thanks dude
Can you buy this instrumental version ?
2:03 legendary movement ngl !!!
This video makes me so happy don’t know why. Perhaps the song and the camaraderie. Happy vibe:)
that's so cool to hear! thanks so much :)
that was some sick teamwork and awareness these guys showed, kudos.
THAT WAS FREAKING SICK!! WOW!
I enjoy longboarding, but I could never have the skills to go that fast, you are awesome 😎
As a daily cyclist i can say i will always go faster on a bike with brakes since I know I can control my speed to avoid offing it. A true comparison might be a fixie. Downhill skaters are some of the most courageous athletes ever. LORDS!
thanks so much Kevin!
I have never heard of long boarding before. saw this video and had to watch it twice, then three times... This is insane... get your heart pumping even when you are watching it on video.... I cant even imagine the concentration you need. I thought you had the road shut off to do this and then.....FUCKING CARS COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION..... what !!!!!
RESPECT! This is one of the videos that actually represents proffesional racing. U knw... It's quite hard to maintain balance.. But experienced people are familiar with such thing.
I hope no one got hurt here.
I liked how there were moments were speed and air resistance were taken into consideration (even when naturally 😂).. Like when Safa (i guess).. Kept his balance at the drifts,. Even tho he could go faster... But longboarding fellas were right ahead, i could sense the tension in the air... And so this consieration to the physics of the game is highly respected. 'cause winning doesn' t matter when someone is hurt...esp. that it's just for fun.. So i like the Sporty spirit of both sides.
Good job, keep it up. Both are cool even when gears aren't shifted.
drifting skate - 1:00 + 1:03 wau !! 😱
Watching this video was the most dangerous thing I've done in years.
The cyclist on the asphalt curb at speed was the most amazing thing in the video!
this was so sick !!! love seeing different sports side by side so cool to watch
He is turning incredibly low on that road bike! I know the feeling and it's insanely scary! 🙌🏼🤘
Damn I just found out Josh died.Thanks for your work man R.I.P.
Watched this about 10 times already. I just love the whole vibe.
cheers Derek! glad you enjoyed it :)
Cycles and boards both pace at a high velocity through the hills.
It need rollerblading..
No matter about who's faster but vdo felt us like beginning of a movie. 💕
I am impressed at how fast you can go on those tiny wheels.
Not sure how much I’d trust a small piece of wood with 4 rubber cylinders for wheels on a winding road at over 50kph
Not rubber
Over 90 kph*
Yes it takes actual skill and big bawls. Anybody can ride a bike downhill. But the payoff is that the longboard is 10x more fun.
Wow! Ich liebe dieses Video sehr. Die Skateboardfahrer und der Fahrradfahrer fahren alle so wunderbar synchron und dies gelingt ihnen selbst bei dieser hohen Geschwindigkeit. Das ist wirklich supergenial!
I have been bicycle riding a long time and I saw something in this video that I have never seen before, and was left in amazement. At 2:04 the cyclist goes up on the curb!!! And it sure seems that it is a steep drop off to the side. This was an absolutely insane maneuver to perform. So dangerous.
Also the guy who got off the saddle and sat down on the top bar. I thought "Huh. I guess that would improve aero in theory."
Yeah that was like WTF
All u had to do was follow the damn skateboard CJ😂😂😂
Oow Jesus, Safa is a monster of roads and speed. I love it guys.
It looks like big fun until an accident happens
I don't even care, on the re-watch, the mix has me enthralled.
Idk but it's kinda satisfying for me to see like all of you riding
Sagas wall ride was sick AF
Also, longboard: $120
Top end road bike: $10k
Gotta pay for a car to get up the hills tho 😜
😂🤣🤣😂
Definitely true, but you can get a very good road bike for $1k as well. Most of these weekend warriors spending thousands for some slight aero advantage are momos.
And actually, a cheap old steel frame road bike will flex slightly when you load up the outside pedal, where a carbon or ally frame won't. The flex is actually helpful on a twisty descent like that. Almost learned that the hard way, after trading up from crappy old bike - the new one was better in every way, except on fast downhill twisties
Yeah right! 120$? The set ups their skating on are like $500 or possibly more and you can get a bike for all intents and purposes to do relatively the same thing as the bike in this video for 600 - $1000
This is really amazing! It was a trip for me 😉
Madness!! How can anyone ride on a piece of wood down them hills with no brakes is beyond me! Great video, who won in the end?
Anybody can get some decent speed with practice but that takes a ton of practice, skill and nuts to go that fast! Looks like a tie on a good downhill like this, reduce the angle a bit and it should turn in favor of the bike.
skateboard brakes are sliding sideways down to the ball bearings
Love you Josh ! Keep it up man nothing but prayers and good vibes from me.
I appreciate it a ton! :)
That's amazing to see how they are over counting the centripetal force..which can through them out of the lane. Amazing.
Reminds me of that kid who would run up mountains. Seriously I saw him run up the Eiger in just a few hours.
Then he tries running up X2, the one next to Mount Everest, made a mistake and fell to his death. All the adrenaline junkies were saying it's how he would have wanted to die. Like I'm sure he's falling, realizes he's gonna die and says to himself, "Perfect!".
Adrenaline junkies are fools.
I could NEVER trust those little skinny tires when leaning into a turn.
FOR REAL THO
I love how they ride those things as a part of their body.
Unedited version without music would be amazing in vr.
This is so sick!
I ride a recumbent trike and I rode up to some long boarders. All young compared to me at 53. Great young people and so respectful on the trails. I hope to see more.
Going faster than 50mph in a straight line I'd say the longboard. From an aerodynamic standpoint.🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
It would entirely depend on the gear ratios the bike is rocking. If it's pure gravity and aerodynamics then yeah a longboard would win. But downhill cycling records on stock bikes have hit over 100mph.
This looks like so much fun. It'd be interesting to see which is actually faster. You'd need to do separate runs, and have them really go as fast as they can and wear less drag inducing clothing, etc. It looked like the guy on the bike, when he tucked in for a second, almost started to race, but then went back to just riding. What a ride though!
Bike should always be faster with bigger wheels and can pedal all the time
Naturally, sports bikes would be faster, but are also much more dangerous. Sounds weird, but it is.
I easily reach 60 kph with mine and 40-50 on flat surfaces, but don't have a high speed gearing on. In my better days I'd reach 60 on flat surfaces and yes, you breath like a steam train and can only maintain that tempo without steroids for very short time.
Maintaining hi speed with casual clothing going downhill, you have to pedal almost all the time - air resistance on crouching longboarders is definitely lower.
@@xxxblackvenomxxx just used a motorcyocne
My friend sent me this video’s link saying look at the real men of steel !
This ain’t men of steel , this is freaking BALLS OF STEEL
Allowing for the point that the skateboarders were relying on gravity as such and the cyclist could still pedal improve his speed, that was a pretty impressive display by the 'boarders - !
Sometimes I'll start a sentence and I don't even know where it's going. I just hope I find it along the way.
same tbh

Any short uphill: Biker: "Me fasta." Boarder: goes downhill then orients the timestream backwards using board cigam.
Loved the video, but I almost died at 2:03. You guys were flying!!🤙
2:04 did the cyclist just risk his life
legend says he is quite a risky man
I just watched it on silent, for other reasons. Always been a skater but this is beautiful.
When are these longboarding hill bombing skills going to be put into an awesome movie escape scene?
Disaster, or horror, just escaping some nightmare on boards (and bikes).
xXx: The Return of Xander Cage (a Moonshine longboards rider was the stuntman -- you see xXx in the moonshine logos, etc)
Next Bond film. Like the skis and snowboard scene from A View to Kill.
You should watch The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, great movie.
Rest easy, beautiful.
That’s freaking awesome man, and great choice of background music!
That was insane! Great music too....fit right in correctly with the action...any way to share some average/top speed info?
stoked you enjoyed it! and top speed hear was probably around 70-80kmh :)
Rather have just heard wind & wheels, tho.
Absolutely breathtaking
Great run y'all! Mixed feelings about the stock music though.
YESSSSIR!🔥🔥🔥
ayeee thanks so much Temar!
I like how this video is perfectly edited according to the beat
I’m a cyclist & ride a very modified hard tail mountain bike, converted for the road & do a LOT of hills & those skaters would have been a distant spot in my rear view mirror.
Oh yea …. nice clickbait. I hate clickbait.
Yeah it’s a foregone conclusion, you have pedals and brakes and more weight and larger wheels. The guy passed them all in the beginning
