A 500m long hill that descends from about 100m above sea level to about 15m above sea level. Known as the cause of countless broken legs, arm, collarbones or gluteus maximi from biking or skateboarding injuries. Considered a "coming of age" test of courage in the local area to attempt its decline standing on a skateboard. What makes this hill so difficult is the mixture of the steepness of its initial descent, its length, and the very sharp turn at its bottom that makes it an outward hairpin curve for a skateboard rider and hence very difficult to achieve at a high speed.
