It is NOT something to do on US roads where there may be traffic!
Evolution at work.
failed to remain in his lane”?!
...skateboarders have their own lane?
Well. gee whiz....I at least hope that he got his run in on as part of that “California. Come Find Yourself Here” commercial campaign. California seems so exciting and vicarious in them.
I see it has evolved into a skateboarder.. Early reports were that it was a luge downhill on wheels, which much more fits with striking the under carriage.
One of my sons likes to longboard. He came screaming into our driveway last night in the rain but didn’t know there were three additional parked cars. He got a quick lesson in gravity and hydrogen peroxide.
Did the skateboarder have a couple of GoPro’s going ?
Skateboarder,20 Killed by Stupidity
I’m all for freedom and personal responsibility, but laws are put in place to help keep people from doing dumb things that can harm themselves or others. Imagine driving down this road and seeing a skateboarder out of control in YOUR lane - what might you reflexively do to avoid a collision?
I didn’t hear that this was illegal, but it should be. And the penalties should be steep, since common sense does not seem to be common.

At least he died doing something he loved! (it’s sarcasm folks) I’m gonna go with Darwin at work, on less pool polluter.
Darwin Award Nominee!!! Lol!
Hang gliding is safer.
Our Cub Scouts witnessed the same thing, but without death. We were taking the Pack up in the mountains for some bike riding. Going up the very windy, slow road, we went around a blind sharp left turn. A bombing downhill bicyclist lost control, went down, and slid right under the van. I was expecting a big CRUNCH but our alert driver stopped just before the rear tire rolled over him. We sure had a lot of wide-eyed Scouts who all learned a good lesson.
He had a skateboarder get killed doing this on campus.
How sad.
"...I remember the time a herd of snots on shakeboards terrorized our group until they hit that strip of uneven bricks over there. There was a lot of hopping around holding their naughty bits, howling like Tourette's afflicted coyotes. Quite the sight"
a certain size ball bearing scattered on the roadway works as the perfect skateboard wheel lubricant.....
Nature taking care of it’s own.
Headline is wrong. Should have read, “Skateboarder Killed Self and Traumatizes Truck Driver.”
