Newtons Nation 2012

Mt. Panorama in Bathurst, Australia is home to one of the most intense race courses on the downhill skateboarding circuit. Riders reach speeds up to 60mph and navigate the turns faster than the V8 super cars that race there regularly.

Justus Zimmerly

Born in Chicago and raised on the flat Canadian prairies, it wasn’t until moving to Ontario for school in 2005 that Justus got a taste for riding skateboards down hills. Since then it’s been a bit of an obsession. He graduated with a degree in Film Studies, but spent as much time focussed on skateboarding as he did on studying. Now he’s living the good life in Oakland, California, riding his motorcycle and working as Editor-in-chief for Skate[Slate].
