downhill longboarder killed at GMR today...

http://ktla.com/2015/03/20/pedestrian-killed-in-collision-with-vehicle-on-san-gabriel-mountains-roadway/ Super depressing to read that kind of stuff for me... always try to stay in your lane if the road isn't closed for you. I understand as a rider it's dangerous and you're always putting yourself at risk when bombing a hill at any speed open or closed for you.. It's not always as easy as it sounds and sometimes you will end up in the other lane... Mistakes are made and you might not always come out of things that easy.. my prayers go out to the family of this young rider and the people who seen it happen.

@JaydenWashabaug apparently there was a group of them and they did a run and went to do another and either had a rock slide during the run or after they got to the top again and they came around the corner and all of them but him were able to swerve around the rocks and such.

From what I have heard there was a rockslide and he went to dodge a boulder and than collided with the dump truck

Laugh at My Pain
You're out of shape. woefully so. You are aware of this, but you do not really know. So one day, you decide that since it's such a beautiful day, you're gonna dust off the old longboard and take it for a ride. You ride into Central Park, feeling blood pumpin' and muscles burnin'. It's a little sore, but ultimately not bad. You make it a little ways into the park before you see a nice little grassy knoll to sit upon for a minute, bask in the sunlight. You just sit in the sun for a while, and everything feels good. The smell of fresh air (as fresh as it gets in NYC, anyway) the feel of the grass under your palms. You relax for maybe half an hour as the sun starts to dip, then you make to head home. You get a few pushes in and POP, something goes fucky in your pushing leg. Something has torn, or more likely pulled, and the pain is searing and immediate. You've never been good with pain. You've always had a supremely low threshold for it. You also have an ironically high threshold for medication. Awesome. You hobble your way home, half-limping, half bouncing on your good leg. When you actually get in the house, you explain to your father what happens. He is a little drunk. Drunk enough that all he can do is laugh at you. He says he's so happy to see you like this, that maybe this is your wake-up call; that you have been inactive for too long. He makes fun of you for limping, tells you to tough it out. He is a real man. You are not. You want to cry, but you know that will only make it worse. Real men don't cry, dont limp.
