I know I can up to 35 miles per hour, but I never really measured how fast I can go...but maybe my fastest is 35-40 miles per hour downhill...fast as hell..

on my shortboard, with 54 mm wheels, I got around 45 kmph, around 27 mph I would guess. I never rode a longboard down a hill. but that bridge is the biggest hill i can find in a 50 mile radius... =(. It's scary going faster and the road is quite busy, so me and my friends have found out the optimal times to skate there... 6 pm... dinner time!

Oh an by the way I tightened my trucks real hard, and was carving very softly not to get speed wobbles. Best way to get speed on a shortboard =).

I dunno, i'll just hook up my speedometer to my bearing and check.

About 20mph I guess, you never go as fast as you think you do.

I have no idea, my grip didn't come with a speedometer.

I haul ass when I carve though so who knows.

I've skitched my friend's car and he said he got up to 35 mph. But my bro skitching with me crashed so bad, I was like "STOP STOP STOP I DON'T WANT TO GO DOWN!!!" He was alright, just a few scrapes, but it was such a gnarly fall.

I can go about 40 down this small hill a couple blocks away. There is a huge hill I can get a ton of speed on but I don't know how fast I go on it.

Fast enough, os that when one of my wheels had either ran over rock, froze or skidded, I became separated by a good 3ft from where my feet left my board....

on this medium sized hill around i've hit about 26 with my buddy on a bike with a speedometer clocking alongside me.

at about 30-35 on a bike the wind starts to dry out my eyes and my contacts begin to dislodge, really bad for me.

Bombing a hill? Probably 35ish before I bail out.

Just flatland is probably 15-20.

I've gotten pretty close to 30 mph on my longboard. I had somebody driving behind me and they watched their speedometer. They said I was at about 27 mph.

I just got clocked at 46 MPH the other day on a run we call the Tower. It's a big hill with no traffic and one hell of a ride.

If anyone lives near Betties Ford rd and Mt holly-Hunters vile and would be interested in having a bit of fun send me a PM..Oh yeah we also have the new Freeway to play on too.

I don't know about skateboards, but just the other day TTU cops stoped me and a friend on Casterboards(ripsticks). They said they clocked us a 47 mph. They scared the **** out of us by pretending to write us up for speeding in a 15 mph zone. In the end they let us go. I felt so bad ass.......on a freaken casterboard...

You just bumped a mad old thread.
You are 19 and riding a ripstick?
I don't think you can get that much MPH on a ripstick
