I don't condone longboard/rollerblading/whatever racing down steep narrow hills on public roads because I think it can be a nuisance to traffic. Having said that I still feel bad for this kid

In this particular case the driver should be arrested. He did that with intent. He had no need to stop like he did. He was well past the kid.

That sucked! The problem is even though the skater was a bit slower than vehicles going down that road. There is no reason to pass on a double yellow almost hit the on-coming car and then hit the brakes. That's just being an a$$. That's why we call them 'cagers'.

That's worthy of an butt kicking. Honestly though since everyone is so sue happy these days, if I'd seen that I would have followed him home and slashed his tires.
I don't have a problem with these guys on public roads. They often go out when traffic has died down and when they can in an area with little traffic. Many can get to the speed limit or above and can stop before intersections.
The comments were funny though
