I've never owned a skateboard, and I've only tried it once, managing to stay upright in all of ten feet of travel. At least I can say I tried it. And after watching many online videos of professional skateboarders (yes, there is such a thing), I can honestly say that I still have little interest in the sport. I know my limitations, and I'm not a big fan of the pain that accompanies the four-wheeled madness.

But here is a skateboarder that takes it to a whole other extreme. His name is James Kelly, and he rides his board down a paved highway at breakneck speed. Not only does he handle the board with finesse, he even knows how to survive a high speed fall.
