A few clues as to why I think the kid was a complete N00B:
1.) they were interviewing him with his broken board. It was an expensive looking board, looked like a Demonseed. The top side looked pristine, very clean, almost unused. Sure could've been just a new board, but.....
2.) ...anyone who was NOT a noob would KNOW that going down that hill (or any hill) can gain you some SERIOUS fucking momentum on a speed board, or any longboard... WAY more momentum than you can possibly stop with JUST YOUR FOOT.
If you cannot look at a hill and judge the potential speed and danger that it presents AND assess what skills you will need (or have) to ride it in control, you do not have enough experience to tackle hills yet. DON'T DO IT.
