The ‘Freeway Challenge’ made its online debut last week, with skater Nakel Smith posting footage of himself skating down the 110 freeway in LA. Since then, several skateboarders have tried copying the idea, giving rise to the trending social media hashtag #FreewayChallenge.

While most of the copycats are trying Smith’s original stunts, some are pulling off their own, like dropping down a shoulder ramp and riding directly out into oncoming traffic, or hanging on to the back of large trucks.  more here

  1. My wife and I were on our way to work one morning when an idiot kid on a skateboard slammed into the back of our station wagon as we were passing thru an intersection on a very busy street. We got out to see if he was OK and all he did was pick himself up and keep on skateboarding like nothing happened. What a moron!

  2. BTW, isn’t this illegal? The New York State Thruway runs through my neiighborhood, and I’m pretty sure a state trooper would arrest me if I rode my bike on it.

  3. Had one of those skate board dudes dent my car with his skateboard and keep going.
    I chased his ass down, and since he was a minor (16-17) I took his skateboard and sold it to his old man.
    His mom called the cops and wanted to press charges on me for scaring her snowflake with threatening to pound him into the pavement.
    The old man looked at my car, gave me two hundred bucks, and threw the skateboard in a dumpster, gave the little bastard a good cuffing right in front of me and the cops and shoved him into the back seat.
    Mama then tried to get the cops to arrest me and the old man.
    The Big Black cop told her all the charges he COULD file on Snowflake and her by facilitating his truancy and criminal activity.
    She shut her enabling hole and got in the car

  4. There is an episode of “Better Call Saul” where Saul convinces two
    dirtbag skateboarders to slam into the car of a wealthy woman, who they would sue the ass off.
    Som tin went wong. They slammed into the car of an elderly Mexican lady, who spoke no English. Her son, however, spoke English and was a member of a Mexican Drug Cartel. When they tried to shake the old lady down, the son beat the shit out of both of them, and Saul too.
    Hilarious episode
