Skateboarding has from its inception evolved into several disciplines. One of them is Longboarding, also referred to as downhill skateboarding, and fits those with an affinity for speed. Downhill longboarding involves riding downhills as fast as possible and keeping the board under control. Downhill longboarders zoom down steep hills at very high velocity, commonly reaching 80 km with record speeds at over 145 km. Note that downhill differs from freeriding in that free riders are not so much focused on speed as on making fluid turns and technical, sophisticated slides as they ride down a hill.
Downhill riders are highly committed, technical, and generally responsible sports enthusiasts who seek to push their limits without unnecessary risks.
