When people visit San Francisco, the same five places are always found on their itineraries. The Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, China Town, Alcatraz Island, and Lombard Street, among a few others, are the must-see attractions when visiting Shaky Town, USA.
Enter the freeboard, a six-wheeled skateboard which effectively acts like a snowboard but on pavement. Now imagine that down the most appropriate of the must-see attractions: Lombard.
Lombard Street is famously known for its eight hairpin turns, which, for some reason, people love driving down. Mike Hoppe, however, has a different way of checking out one the most crooked streets in the world. Here he is weaving in and out of cars and throwing a shaka to a dude riding a Segway while cruising down Frisco’s most iconic roads on his freeboard — or, rather, Freebord.
