Canadian Jeff “Beer man of a million tries” Spicoli Randomsky pinning it through the chicane, about to drop into the fastest stretch. Adam Auger spots.

Let’s all pour a little out for the fast hill, where the legendarily smooth pavement was tampered with last week. We’re not sure if it was a full-on chipsealing or simply a seal coat on the space pavement, but it’ll never be the same. Those who had the chance to skate it know how sick it was.

Just for the record: Jim Weatherwax was skating it from halfway back in the 90s. JP Kaloi, Dubes, and Josh Weisfeld were the first dudes to bomb it from the top, and Dubes is probably the first dude to do 70mph on a skateboard. Dubes, K-Rimes, and Zak Maytum were draft-training when they crashed at 70mph in 2008 and Billy Bones Meiners crashed going over 75 when he hit a pebble in August 2011. More recently, Colorado legend Kevin “Coop” Cooper took himself out at around 70. Patrick Rizzo bombed it on a street deck, then went switch on a downhill board. DT and Dave Angelus skated it naked in the dark a couple years ago and Mischo set his first IGSA world speed record there. Those who know, know that skating that hill was better than drugs.
