Been doing a lot of camping and been hitting a ton of fun hills!
The picture taken above is about halfway down the hill, it is a 32 minute mammoth bomb of the most intense riding I have ever skated. Speeds vary for 55+ mph in the straights to 35-50 mph in the corners, the tunnel section is 1 1/2 car lanes wide and pitch black... you are constantly on your toes as to what is happening next. The surface is smooth in sections, but the corners have what it seems to be tank tracks in them, so if you predrift late you will get eaten up!
Unfortunately, my gopro died halfway down the hill, but I will load the footage I have soon.
It is crazy to be in Switzerland, coming from Colorado I thought I was at the highest level of hills, but coming here was like moving from a green run to a double black diamond on the slopes, it is easy to see why the best skaters come from Switzerland....they have the gnarliest hills!
