Been hillbombing lately on my Penny board, and yesterday I had someone drive a car behind me to check my speed. As I was gaining speed I did something really stupid I havent done since getting back on the board; I took a crouching position to minimize wind(lots of wind yesterday)
Doing that I obviously cannot transfer the vibrations from the board and I started to wobble bigtime, a second later Im flung out into the air hitting the asphalt pretty neat. My bud said I was closing in to 50kmh, I was riding a classic Zephyr like board, a tiny board hehe. Well, lesson learnt, I know I have had higher speeds than that during this summer and no problem keeping the wobble contained. Now I look like a real skatepunk, full of bruises(kinda enjoy it!) No more crouching!
