Downhill skateboarding involves navigating a steep and winding road as fast as possible, pushing the grip limit on the fastest line. Speeds well beyond 60 km/h are quickly achieved, with the current world record standing at an astounding 143.89 km/h achieved while standing. Skillful riding and precise board control are essential, enabling riders to reduce speed in any situation through drifting, sliding, air braking, or foot braking.
