A young guy where I worked did it casually and didn't use protective gear. He got some road rash one time and I think he stopped doing it.

Those guys are racing. The guys I see aren't wearing that much gear but they do have helmets, knee, elbow, and wrist pads, at least. The street luge guys wear it all, though.
I was driving home from the store Sunday, it's about a 1.5 mile steady grade with stop signs and speed bumps, and there was a guy on a board coming down. He was shirtless, no helmet, and lying on his stomach. First time seeing that around the 'hood.

I can’t remember what brand of tube it was, but when I opened the box, there was a black silicone wrist band stuffed in with the tube. It said, “YOU MATTER. DON’T GIVE UP.”

After a couple of weeks away, with the stupid heat and humidity of VA, I'm over here shivering in my 72° home. Maybe I should bring a sweater along on our trip to the State Fair - it's supposed to be 79° and sunny with low humidity. Brrrr.

I’m taking a “forced” rest day due to spending a couple hours at the oncologist’s later. With labs, seeing the doc, and an injection, it all takes a couple hours. Due to COVID, the coffee pots have been removed as well as the soda and vending machines. Makes for a long two hours.

I was surprised how warm a sunny 69 was in Colorado. Here that's cool and calls for a light sweater. There it was shorts and a t-shirt.

In a study conducted by Ronald O. Perelman with the Department of Dermatology at the New York University School of Medicine, for every 1,000 feet of elevation you climb, you’ll experience an 8-10 percent increase in ultraviolet intensity.

Thanks guys! That’s nastier even than the hill we live on. Guess there’s no sense in seeing about doing it if we end up there.
