Why do longboarder and skateboarder lose control going downhill?

Question

Well i'm not pro, i dont know if there's anyway to prevent this, but

Whenever i pick up speed going down a steep hill while on a skateboard, my leg starts to wobble really bad and i can't stop it. Then next i know, i either bail out or just crash, because it wobbles too much and i couldn't control it.

Is there anyway to prevent this?

Answer 1

well with long boarding if you sorta zig zag down the hill your going down, that slows you down i heard. Not sure at all about it but give it a shot ;)

Answer 2

yer i skate alot, it is called "speed wobbles" its from going too fast down a Hill, prevent this by tightening your trucks, so they don't move as easily, will help guaranteed
