Skateboarders pride themselves on their ability to face down incredibly sketchy situations and take injuries without complaint, and nowhere is that attitude more evident than at the Dolores Hill Bomb, an annual event loosely "held" on Dolores Street in San Francisco's Mission District.

Egged on by a howling crowd, riders of non-motorized wheeled vehicles (and at least one Onewheel) sped down a steep section of the street, and sometimes taking falls which can only be described as horrific. A shot of boarders hitching a ride up on the back of an ambulance carrying one of their friends just about sums up the event.

There was a death at this event, a guy on a bike who collided with a skateboarder, presumably at speed, the cyclist dying from injuries a couple of days later. He is not pictured anywhere in this video (there is a different cyclist-skateboarder collision where the cyclist is taken away in an ambulance; that’s not the one).
