"Highway downhill category, three-star difficulty..."

Looking at the details of the mission, Lu Yu frowned and muttered to himself.

Lu Yu is no stranger to downhill sports.

Many extreme sports include downhill events!

For example, skiing, snowboarding, BMX cross-country, motorcycles, etc.

Among them, the most exciting one is the downhill longboard.

Downhill, as the name suggests, is a sport where you use a road longboard to slide on a slope or mountain trail without any obstacles!

Longboard downhill can be divided into freeride (FR) and downhill (DH)!

FR refers to a highly skilled and ornamental gameplay that uses the speed generated by the ramp to form various pushing movements (such as Slide).

The characteristic is all the bells and whistles!

The speed is generally not very fast.

In comparison, DH is much simpler and more crude!

Pure pursuit of speed!

The ultimate speed of the DH longboard can even reach an astonishing 140km/h!

very horrible!

Compared with the previous tasks, longboard downhill is not a difficult challenge.

If it were an ordinary mountain road, with Lu Yu's skill proficiency, it would definitely be easy.

The reason why there are three stars is entirely because of the difficulty bonus of the mission location!

Where is Tongtian Avenue in Zhangjiajie?

That is a winding mountain road that has many thrilling titles such as "the most spectacular road in the world", "the devil's U-turn", "China's most terrifying winding mountain road"!

It is more than 10 kilometers long and is located in Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park.

The starting point is the sign gate when entering the mountain, and the end point is Tianmen Cave.

Tianmen Cave has become the gateway to the sky in people's hearts because of its grounding and reaching to the sky.

The winding road leading to Tianmen Cave is also called "Tongtian Avenue".

The entire winding mountain road has many sharp turns.

The altitude dropped sharply from 1,300 meters to 200 meters throughout the entire journey!

On both sides of the avenue, there are thousands of cliffs, deep valleys, and a total of 99 bends.

It coincides with the meaning of "the sky has nine levels and the clouds have nine sky".

Among them, 180-degree sharp turns are common.

One goes down and the other goes up, one after another.

It’s overwhelming!

This winding mountain road was once called one of the five most terrifying roads in China!

Even the veteran driver who has been driving for decades feels scared when he looks at it!

In the previous life, Lu Yu drove on this road when he traveled to Tianmen Mountain.

The feeling of being helpless was something he would never forget...

It is no less thrilling than Mount Akina in Initial D.

However, compared with mountain racing, downhill longboarding will be more dangerous!

After all, the braking system of a racing car is more comprehensive and perfect than that of a skateboard.

After all, it is a product of mechanization.

The braking technology of longboards needs to be completed independently!

This is the common slide braking technique.

This technique requires muscle memory formed through a lot of practice before it can be performed flawlessly.

The specific method of operation is to keep your feet parallel to the board.

The center of gravity is at the bridge.

The knee of the back foot is close to the calf of the front leg.

Before doing the slide, do a carving (cut your center of gravity), then lower your butt, keep your hands at a 45-degree angle with the head of the board, and keep your chest still!

This kind of horizontal braking technique is no easy task on a winding mountain road with many curves!

Just thinking about it is so thrilling!

Not only does it require a high degree of concentration, but it also requires proficiency in various techniques!

Because one mistake may cause you to fall off the cliff and be shattered to pieces!

After all, downhill longboarding is undoubtedly an extreme sport.

It’s more than ten times harder than ordinary skateboarding!

"It's getting more and more interesting..."

While browsing the mission details, the corners of Lu Yu's mouth raised slightly, and the desire for challenge in his heart was instantly aroused!

One thing to say.

This mission is really exciting!

Crazy too!

What kind of experience would it be like to control the skateboard and experience Initial D on the 99-turn mountain road?

Nothing to say!

Absolutely awesome!

…

five minutes later.

Lu Yu calmed down completely.

Immediately afterwards, he turned on the computer and inquired about the detailed information of Tongtian Avenue.

Includes traffic information, route maps and aerial panoramas of Tongtian Avenue.

Try to be aware of every detail.

Of course, this is not enough.

Downhill on the road is not just a matter of sliding around.

It is necessary to go to the actual place and become familiar with the environment.

Just feel the atmosphere for yourself.

After making up his mind, Lu Yu told Shi Lei his thoughts.

On the phone, Shi Lei could hear the clouds and fog shrouding the mountains.

I never understood what Lu Yu meant by "sliding down"?

However, he did know about Tongtian Avenue...

This winding mountain road is the world's first wonder of roads.

Almost everyone in China knows it.

In this world, drivers who drive Tongtian Avenue must have a driving experience of ten years.

The danger is obvious.

"Slide down? How...how do you slide..."

Lu Yu was speechless for a moment and simply sent him a photo of the skateboard!

This is the picture!

He almost sent Shi Lei away on the spot!

A wooden board with four wheels?

You tell me, you are going to use this thing to slide down Tongtian Avenue?

Damn it!

It's really scary!

Shi Lei was speechless, shocked, and even more incredible!

For a moment, his mind was full of question marks and WTF!

Okay.

You are the boss!
