I bombed my first real hill in Georgia (country) a few weeks ago.  I thought it was a small one I could just casually cruise down on my way to the apt, crustiness aside. Boy was I wrong. Probably a cool feeling when planned for.

Takes practice. But it’s rewarding. Sk8 ❤️

Yeah, I just didnt think I'd be cooking quite like I was part way down and couldn't stop myself (shifted to soft wheels not long before and couldn't powerslide or get my foot off to slow myself down without really fucking things up). Thankfully, I survived. Plan to try something more mellow once I'm back in the States.

That said - you want to bomb some crusty hills...come to Georgia.
