The fact, that after he crashed, while sweating and breathing heavily, just casually threw the slide back in, jumped on it and started sliding at the full speed again like nothing ever happened 🤣
I did the same exact thing OP did but a decade ago at the same park in New Hampshire! Same fall on the same decline and I did exactly what he did: I got back on the sled
I just love how everyone is commenting things like "cant read signs" lol. Is it that hard to understand hes willingly going fast for fun, high risk high reward.
Yea but at the same time, they posted it in that section for a clear reason. Every other part of this track you can floor it, that one section is a assured risk of.injury. And its being there prevents lawsuit from dumb ideas.
People these days no sense of fun at all. That’s why they believe all the shite they see on the news, are terrified of Everything they hear and offended by everything. This video was awesome. I’d love a go at it.
@@wakcedout when I was a kid I lost times how many times I was in casualty having stitches and that’s because I had fun took risks got hurt and went straight back to it. Because life with no risk, is no life at all.
I have wrecked so many times trying to beat a personal best on this thing. The corner at 1:43 I had a particularly bad crash about 7 years ago that launched my sled into the woods, and threw one of my shoes about 20 feet away. Still ride it all the same. Nice man!
Lol.. I got road rash at 5 from my big wheel.. scrape down to the bone, still gotta scar!…was a big Hill and pissed off mom.. had to go to hospital so she gave it away! (But small tight neighborhood.. I got to ride it when the kid came out to play.. then he wiped out.. I was a bad influence on him. I told him what's up.. was his choice.. like at 5-6 yrs OLD we knew so much! 😜 So this slide had something to compensate with turnz.. a break with turns that had some walls! 🤣 Was chick that turned me on to this place. And diana's bath, and more, I should have married that girl. Smh
So glad to see these still exist! I loved these things so much as a kid and haven’t seen them for years. I just assumed the modern world banned the crazy lawsuit slide.
I used to work on one in France in my home village of Châtel as a teen 14 years ago and it's still open. The slides are metal instead of concrete though. I spent almost 8 years working on ski lifts and different summer rides similar to this one (kart, bikes, etc...) I don't think this is more dangerous than any other mountain rides or sport, we didn't have that many accident and when we had them it was usually not that bad, just scratches and burns. We've had way more serious injuries or even deaths with 'regular' activities such as ski or mountain bike.
I had an electric skateboard and I flew off going like 21MPH and it made a hole in my pants by my knee and my knee and my side and my hand were all bleeding, I lost control and jumped off and hit the ground flew forward and flipped over twice. But I didn’t go straight home. I let riding it even though I was hurting everywhere and it was like 3 in the morning and super dark outside and the ground was a little wet
i was relieved in the end that he didnt. in couple turns i even fucking shouted to the screen that he should slow down xD and i dont usually talk with myself this way dude just scared me a little bit xD
I’ve done this slide and crashed almost at the same spot. I was wearing a t shirt and a long sleeve shirt and I burned a whole through both but didn’t get any rash. This slide is fun but definitely dangerous
This shit is great..there's also other's ..but damn..i got old ,still love Conway, but other is higher..more southern ..Kentucky !..Colorado has a very very awesome one also,Vermont has 1 too..but there's gotta be more. Too much fun 🤪
I was on that slide many years ago and the brake literally broke off. I managed to slow the slide by gripping the sides of the cement and using my feet to slow it down. Make you wonder how often they check their equipment and chair lifts…
One of the best slides ever honestly and with the amount of people that crash each year I'm surprised it's still open, iv been here a few times and seen some pretty nasty crashes and rug burns even at the end while getting out it's so easy to eat shit the slide is so slippery and so hot especially on a really hot summer day and you have alot of people going down the slide, I remember a little kid burned the shit out of his leg just cause he fell out but man love this place
It happened to me. I broke the track record but I left a good part of my right thigh up there in the process. It was nearly the entire site of my right thigh. After the adrenaline rush it hurt, omg did it hurt whenever I tried to fully extend my leg. So I didn't. So my RN mom told me if you don't fully straighten out that leg it's going to get worst. I tried but it just hurt too much cause of the new skin. Over a week and my leg was actually retracting. So one day in the pool I held myself under water and straightened out that leg completely. Most people never felt this kind of physical pain due it being about 60% healed. All that new skin being ripped open. And keeping the leg completely straight for the next few weeks was hell. I learned a very good lesson that day which was to never wear shorts on those slides.
I fell of this when I was 16 and slid on the cement for about 30 feet before I was able to roll of!! And got 2nd degree burns on my left arm and my left leg and hip! And it happened near the top so I still had to hop back on and coast down to the bottom!! 😓 OUCH!! I believe they changed the track to hard plastic , when I went down 34 years ago it was cement!! It even sounds a little different!!
I seem to remember THINKING that being concrete also..BUT I believe expansion and contraction every summer and winter would break it up pretty fast so probably just look like concrete it was made out of some kind of acrylic or fiberglass whatever.. seems like when I googled other tracks it was a company that provided like 90% of them in the USA..
I crashed on one of these as a kid and your first instinct is to put your hands/arms out. INSTANT FIRE. I could not get myself out of the tube so I just kept sliding. A teenage worker at the bottom sprayed some disinfectant on my missing skin spots and that was that. 20 years later I can still see discolored spots on my arms and knees. Would I do it again? Hell yeah!
Did a concrete one of these and came off. Literally the most painful thing i have ever experienced. Skinned myself down to the bone and, even eight years later, my scars haven't recovered. Stay safe!
@@tro4404 can confirm not my worst experience to date any more, fractures my wrist mountain biking with bone sticking through the skin. that was the worst. still have my cast on
I feel that if the slide was bigger and had higher walls, and the slide vehicle was bigger too, there would be a lot less crashes as it would be impossible to be launched out of the slide. Also people could go faster as they are in a more tight slide. That being said, another thing to come with that is the rule of one person sliding at a time, or else any possible crashes could be deadly
They send people down the slide like every 15 seconds. If you want to go fast, you have to ask the attendant for more time or you catch up to the person infront of you almost immediately.
Cost is one factor, higher wall means more material more labor more maintenance. The other is if you build the walls higher it just means a greater maximum speed can be achieved before being thrown over. The accidents might be more rare, but they would also be more serious when they do happen. Having a short height wall prevents anyone from gaining to much speed and minimizes the extent of injuries while maximizing profits.
The exact same thing happened to me (Lutsen, MN) when these rides first started, I believe in the mid 70's. That drop caught me off guard and I went flying, separating from my sled landing at the bottom. My sprained ankle looked like a grapefruit. No pads and never thought about legal issues. Good times. The starter told us absolutely no racing but we could go side to side as fast as we wanted.
@@joestr I thought that you lost so much time after the crash that somebody will pass you. I was very surprised seeing you catch up the guy in front of you. Good job!
I used to work for the resort photography company who contracted with Attitash to automatically photograph their alpine slide riders in action and sell the digital pictures at the bottom. I helped design and installed the entire system... We used infrared laser triggers and digital cameras with strobes sending the image down fiber optic cables to the sales shed at the base.. I remember thinking at the time (at least twenty years ago) that this ride wasn't very safe. It looks like things didn't change very much in the next 12 or so years.
I skied down one of these. It was closed for the season and covered with fresh snow. I climbed over the fence and started skiing, faster and faster (couldn't stop in that narrow channel). It was terrifying!
I did the exact same thing when I was seven… But I flipped it at the high bank turn right before the drop off about halfway down the hill. Oh the memories!
And better yet, assume personal responsibility and understand the risk of activities like these rather than being litigious drain on society ruining fun for those who understand and are willing to take said risks 👍
I’ve been to Attitash a couple times, and the long wait to get to the top of the alpine slide and the mountain coaster is really worth it, even if you accidentally touch the sides and get a burn
I still have the scars from doing this at Collingwood, Ontario, Canada 30 years ago. It was hard to race because they set up a slow lane and a fast lane and it didnt really matter, most people were slow and you always caught up to them.
Sign: *Slow* Him: *Nah, that's for babies. Speed is my move y'all, I can handle fast.* *Crashes and proceeds to continue on sliding down while off of the Alpine Slide cart-thingy.* (dang that must've hurt)
Love this place! Got the mountains, skiing in winter, waterbeds and hotubs in hotel with great mountains views,although I've been away from N.H. for way too long. Want to go back and beat my slide time!
I did this in BlueMountain, Ontario in the 70s. Was so much fun! We would go so fast we would fly out of the track and smack into other people. We eventually got kicked off the track!
*Nice ride!* All I remember from mine was a double-humped-then-flat-spot thing on which I went sideways, slide alllllllll the way across that flat spot, ground 15-20 flat spots off my skin, and weeped like a sponge for the next two days. "Ewwww!" They should tell you not to go for PRs with shorts+t-shirt. 😵💫
Bro last time I rode this my coaster was ass I didn’t know it until half way in the slide that the hands that make you go faster and brake didn’t work.... so I had no brakes
When I first saw Alpine Slide I assumed it was the one in Park City. I have not been on one in years, but the clack clack clack of the track brings it right back! Easy way to lose some skin, but still a great time.
This is terrifying, I’ve been on one of these before and they have safeties in place that control your speed. If you are going too fast or getting too close to the person in front of you it would automatically slow you down.
I went in one of these in the summer. I did not slow down as asked and was nearly thrown out into the woodland. There was a hill right beside it. Amazing.
I remember riding this ride as a kid. I always thought that drop part was dangerous. I always felt like you could fall off the sides from the turns after it from the increased speed. I don't remember seeing signs there in the early 90s.

About 20 years ago I crashed on this same ride. I'd taken a bunch of runs already with my kids and my daughter and I were going for our last run. She was young and getting tired so I carried her sled for her and when we got back to the start I made the mistake of giving her my sled, not knowing the brakes on hers weren't nearly as good as mine. I was blasting down the hill and hit the brake at the same spot coming into a slow zone, only to find out I didn't have a chance of slowing like I needed to. I got pitched onto my left side, still hanging onto the sled, and let me tell you, polished concrete can give you some serious road rash! I still have the burn scars and lack of pigment on my leg. Shorts are a bad idea on this beast if you want to go fast!
I remember this one time I was on an alpine slide and I had to slow down because of this woman and her baby were going at a crawl speed for like 2 minutes and then I heard two guys coming down insanely fast so I told the woman to hurry up and as soon as I started to get up off the slide a guy slammed right into me and It seemed like I flew like 5 feet or so from the slide and luckily I didn't hit my head or anything. The woman either ignored me or was completely oblivious to the fact that I just flew off the slide getting several scrapes and cuts. If it wasn't for me being there, her and her baby could have been injured badly.
We had one of these at Mount Hood in Oregon. In the early 90's my cousin and myself went to ride the alpine slide. We were both dirt bike riders. So, we raced each other all the time. We bought a 10 pack of ticket to ride the slide. After the 2nd ride I noticed if you moved up as far as you could to the brake you would go faster. On the 4th run I told my cousin to move up as far as you can on the sled. He went first. I was hauling ass. I was almost flying off the corners. Then out of nowhere is my cousin standing in the track. He crashed and was trying to get his sled back on the track. I slammed into him at a real high speed. Sent him flying. I told him to get on his sled fast before we get hit by the next rider. He had so much road rash. He was tore up. We never did go back.
Fantastic run! It looks like you were wall-climbing on the inside corner here (0:33) and that caught the rear right wheel and flipped the cart; was there something on the track? Did you pump the brakes in the turn? Seems like you should have been just coming out of a graceful arc on the outside wall instead of flipping. I ask this so that I have pre-course feel when we line up opposite each other for championship! :)
So I looked up "Alpine Slide" Thank God they have this in states close to me. I live in NC. I remember A LONG TIME AGO. This was specifically in Japan only.
I rode this slide soon after it opened with my parents (and again more recently with my kids). When my dad wiped out making the same mistake, it tore some skin off and he was bleeding. If you escaped without that happening you were very fortunate.
my buddies and I went down this in our late teens back in the late 80s, all of us were 6'3'' or taller over 200lbs , talk about speed! they wouldnt let us on it anymore cause we were racing to catchup and crash into each other. we all had burns all over for months after this, could barely wear pants to work or even move without tearing all the scabs
For the risk adverse personality type, 100% true. In the end we all end up at the same destination - dead. In the meantime there's a risk/reward balance for all the experiences leading up to that, and for those who find fulfilment in adventure more risk is acceptable. Plus, there's no such thing as adventure without the element of risk. Without risk it's simply tourism, which is fine in it's own right.
we used to ride this in the AM with rolled up burlap sacks in front of the sleds to dry the track before we opened it up for the day. the first runs were always crazy sketch because naturally we would still rip down it even though it was covered with the morning dew. any moisture on the track and you had no control but that is part of the thrill. if the track was wet and you pulled the brake it would actually make you go faster....downhill sideways two tires!!
Oh my god this brings back memories... I went on this thing like, 10 years ago as a kid and the (older) kid in front of me wouldn't stop telling me the story about how he skinned his elbow going down this thing. Good times, glad to see someone captured this before all the corporate kerfuffle took place :)
I love the fact that this guy is so insecure that after the little crash en his restart he had to scream “woooow” 2 times, only at the part where he repassed the people that saw him go off. It’s amazingly sad. Not a single sound during the rest of the ride.
I cant read the fisrt sing, SLUW?? WTf but the others yes. I never see this, it looks amazing, speedy and Im scared🤣🤣. Great video, good track and your Body Slide was amazing.
The fact, that after he crashed, while sweating and breathing heavily, just casually threw the slide back in, jumped on it and started sliding at the full speed again like nothing ever happened 🤣
And then people be like 'are you OK?' But your already feeding them dust
Dude, you gotta take advantage of all that adrenaline. Those not too bad crashes add up to the adventure, nice

@@joestr you are a savage rider, nice and calm reaction to the situation
I used to work on one in France in my home village of Châtel as a teen 14 years ago and it's still open. The slides are metal instead of concrete though.
I spent almost 8 years working on ski lifts and different summer rides similar to this one (kart, bikes, etc...) I don't think this is more dangerous than any other mountain rides or sport, we didn't have that many accident and when we had them it was usually not that bad, just scratches and burns.
We've had way more serious injuries or even deaths with 'regular' activities such as ski or mountain bike.

You name brings back some memories! My friends and I used to sing chocolate rain all the time. Thanks for commenting!
I know he should have slowed down but whoever designed the track to have a turn and a drop immediately afterward was asking for trouble.
Just needs higher banks..people ski and wipe out and get up too. They get hurt and they still ski. Imagine that 😳!
I had an electric skateboard and I flew off going like 21MPH and it made a hole in my pants by my knee and my knee and my side and my hand were all bleeding, I lost control and jumped off and hit the ground flew forward and flipped over twice. But I didn’t go straight home. I let riding it even though I was hurting everywhere and it was like 3 in the morning and super dark outside and the ground was a little wet
No way the drop is best part of the track, can't tell you how many times I have cleared that drop so fun!
Is acting like Fucking Bubba Jr. Engineer in training over here.....

You dont understand how fast he's really going until he catches up to someone else going a fraction of his speed.
Who else thought he was going to crash a second time?
I did...wasn't wishing it by any means...but man was he MOVING!!
It would be very funny! 😂
i was relieved in the end that he didnt. in couple turns i even fucking shouted to the screen that he should slow down xD and i dont usually talk with myself this way dude just scared me a little bit xD
Me
I did too lmao 🤣
I’ve done this slide and crashed almost at the same spot. I was wearing a t shirt and a long sleeve shirt and I burned a whole through both but didn’t get any rash. This slide is fun but definitely dangerous
Where's it at?

I was on that slide many years ago and the brake literally broke off. I managed to slow the slide by gripping the sides of the cement and using my feet to slow it down. Make you wonder how often they check their equipment and chair lifts…

One of the best slides ever honestly and with the amount of people that crash each year I'm surprised it's still open, iv been here a few times and seen some pretty nasty crashes and rug burns even at the end while getting out it's so easy to eat shit the slide is so slippery and so hot especially on a really hot summer day and you have alot of people going down the slide, I remember a little kid burned the shit out of his leg just cause he fell out but man love this place
Will be a sad day when this thing goes
I am guessing the reason that it hasnt been shut down is because nobody has really been seriously hurt, so there is no reason to remove it
It happened to me. I broke the track record but I left a good part of my right thigh up there in the process. It was nearly the entire site of my right thigh. After the adrenaline rush it hurt, omg did it hurt whenever I tried to fully extend my leg. So I didn't. So my RN mom told me if you don't fully straighten out that leg it's going to get worst. I tried but it just hurt too much cause of the new skin. Over a week and my leg was actually retracting. So one day in the pool I held myself under water and straightened out that leg completely. Most people never felt this kind of physical pain due it being about 60% healed. All that new skin being ripped open. And keeping the leg completely straight for the next few weeks was hell. I learned a very good lesson that day which was to never wear shorts on those slides.
I fell of this when I was 16 and slid on the cement for about 30 feet before I was able to roll of!! And got 2nd degree burns on my left arm and my left leg and hip! And it happened near the top so I still had to hop back on and coast down to the bottom!! 😓 OUCH!! I believe they changed the track to hard plastic , when I went down 34 years ago it was cement!! It even sounds a little different!!
I seem to remember THINKING that being concrete also..BUT I believe expansion and contraction every summer and winter would break it up pretty fast so probably just look like concrete it was made out of some kind of acrylic or fiberglass whatever.. seems like when I googled other tracks it was a company that provided like 90% of them in the USA..
I crashed on one of these as a kid and your first instinct is to put your hands/arms out. INSTANT FIRE. I could not get myself out of the tube so I just kept sliding. A teenage worker at the bottom sprayed some disinfectant on my missing skin spots and that was that. 20 years later I can still see discolored spots on my arms and knees. Would I do it again? Hell yeah!
The fact that he nearly broke his own back instead of getting some innocent kid involved, I salute you.
well bet he dont look like an "ron"
Huh?
Did a concrete one of these and came off. Literally the most painful thing i have ever experienced. Skinned myself down to the bone and, even eight years later, my scars haven't recovered. Stay safe!
Thats rough! You must have been cruising. Just had a bit of road rash from this fall
Road rash is your worst experience? Wait 'till you live a little.
@@tro4404 can confirm not my worst experience to date any more, fractures my wrist mountain biking with bone sticking through the skin. that was the worst. still have my cast on
@@joestr Some may be rougher than others, or (I suspect) allow higher top speeds?
@@tro4404 what a troll
Omg even after crash u r still not trying to slow 😃 down, going like rocket superb
I think he do bobsledding👍
I feel that if the slide was bigger and had higher walls, and the slide vehicle was bigger too, there would be a lot less crashes as it would be impossible to be launched out of the slide. Also people could go faster as they are in a more tight slide. That being said, another thing to come with that is the rule of one person sliding at a time, or else any possible crashes could be deadly
They send people down the slide like every 15 seconds. If you want to go fast, you have to ask the attendant for more time or you catch up to the person infront of you almost immediately.
Cost is one factor, higher wall means more material more labor more maintenance. The other is if you build the walls higher it just means a greater maximum speed can be achieved before being thrown over. The accidents might be more rare, but they would also be more serious when they do happen. Having a short height wall prevents anyone from gaining to much speed and minimizes the extent of injuries while maximizing profits.
better to be launched out of the slide than into concrete
Some people really don't think when commenting.🤣
yea when i saw he was not the only one on the track i realise if the white guys in front of him crashed he could be in real probleme
if the walls are higher, people would just slide inside when they crash
The exact same thing happened to me (Lutsen, MN) when these rides first started, I believe in the mid 70's. That drop caught me off guard and I went flying, separating from my sled landing at the bottom. My sprained ankle looked like a grapefruit. No pads and never thought about legal issues. Good times. The starter told us absolutely no racing but we could go side to side as fast as we wanted.
Dude I crashed on the same slide when I was young. Thanks for recording this.
"You OK?"
"Yeah, I'm good."
*coolest reaction ever*
What a comeback brother 👍🏼❤️
What a idiots!!! Brother!!
Thanks man!
@@joestr I thought that you lost so much time after the crash that somebody will pass you. I was very surprised seeing you catch up the guy in front of you. Good job!
Two bears in the woods...
" Hey, when did they start meals on wheels."
" I don't know but it's lunchtime."
That's one of a kind ride. Wow. Felt happy as if I went there.
I used to work for the resort photography company who contracted with Attitash to automatically photograph their alpine slide riders in action and sell the digital pictures at the bottom. I helped design and installed the entire system... We used infrared laser triggers and digital cameras with strobes sending the image down fiber optic cables to the sales shed at the base..
I remember thinking at the time (at least twenty years ago) that this ride wasn't very safe.
It looks like things didn't change very much in the next 12 or so years.
0:35 became a water slid
A really enjoyable dry waterslide i'd say
The fact that this can exist at all just never ceases to amaze me.
I skied down one of these. It was closed for the season and covered with fresh snow. I climbed over the fence and started skiing, faster and faster (couldn't stop in that narrow channel). It was terrifying!
You're nuts!
I did the exact same thing when I was seven… But I flipped it at the high bank turn right before the drop off about halfway down the hill. Oh the memories!
These edges are way too low.
How did this pass the safety controls??
We can assume it didn't :)
And better yet, assume personal responsibility and understand the risk of activities like these rather than being litigious drain on society ruining fun for those who understand and are willing to take said risks 👍
@@SD-unlimited thank u. i hate that everything has to be idiotproof today like it always societies job to protect the darwin winners from themselves
Awesome run! Not even a crash slowed you down. You were in full beast mode!
This man has balls of steel
Just imagine Joe reading these comments..."wow! There's a slow sign? I never noticed. Thanks for pointing that out!"
love how he crashes and still catches the guy infront 😂
I live about an hour or so from here. Always loved doing this as a kid... and an adult.
He's like... Naah nothing happens twice
I’ve been to Attitash a couple times, and the long wait to get to the top of the alpine slide and the mountain coaster is really worth it, even if you accidentally touch the sides and get a burn
from the ones i've been on so far you could just push the handle all the way down and enjoy, this one kinda looks dangerous
A little risk makes it more fun.
I went a couple times as a teenager/young adult…. Definitely a BLAST!!! So much fun!
I still have the scars from doing this at Collingwood, Ontario, Canada 30 years ago. It was hard to race because they set up a slow lane and a fast lane and it didnt really matter, most people were slow and you always caught up to them.
The giant banner: *S L O W*
The dude: No, no I dont think I will.
The giant banner: so you have chosen death
Morgan Freeman Voice: "And he did not, in fact, go slow...."
Sign: *Slow*
Him: *Nah, that's for babies. Speed is my move y'all, I can handle fast.*
*Crashes and proceeds to continue on sliding down while off of the Alpine Slide cart-thingy.* (dang that must've hurt)
I tipped one of these bad boys over years ago, ended up with some gnarly slide rash on my elbow. Still didn't slow down, just like this effin legend!
Wow the new hotwheels game looks sick
Love this place! Got the mountains, skiing in winter, waterbeds and hotubs in hotel with great mountains views,although I've been away from N.H. for way too long. Want to go back and beat my slide time!
i did the same one a few years ago and remember seeing a girl on the side of the track down clutching her arm. i felt bad for her
:(
This is why you don’t ride concrete slides, just go on a Aline coaster same thing but you don’t have the risk of dying.
I love that this exists. You fall and get scraped, get up, finish the ride, and at the end, do you sue the owner? No you show off your battle scar!
I did this in BlueMountain, Ontario in the 70s. Was so much fun! We would go so fast we would fly out of the track and smack into other people. We eventually got kicked off the track!
Kind of poetic he falls right after the huge sign that says "SLOW" and he doesn't slow down. Though im glad he wasn't injured.
Just a bit of road rash on the arm. Glad i had the camera
If you look at the black scuff marks on the side of the track it kinda states that brakes seldom works. Those scuff marks are from shoe soles!
Yesss
*Nice ride!* All I remember from mine was a double-humped-then-flat-spot thing on which I went sideways, slide alllllllll the way across that flat spot, ground 15-20 flat spots off my skin, and weeped like a sponge for the next two days. "Ewwww!" They should tell you not to go for PRs with shorts+t-shirt. 😵💫
Bro last time I rode this my coaster was ass I didn’t know it until half way in the slide that the hands that make you go faster and brake didn’t work.... so I had no brakes
I was waiting for the 2nd crash, but YOU made it. True sportsmanship :-)
The squeak after he fell off though 😖
When I first saw Alpine Slide I assumed it was the one in Park City. I have not been on one in years, but the clack clack clack of the track brings it right back! Easy way to lose some skin, but still a great time.
This is terrifying, I’ve been on one of these before and they have safeties in place that control your speed. If you are going too fast or getting too close to the person in front of you it would automatically slow you down.
I went in one of these in the summer. I did not slow down as asked and was nearly thrown out into the woodland. There was a hill right beside it. Amazing.
I remember riding this ride as a kid. I always thought that drop part was dangerous. I always felt like you could fall off the sides from the turns after it from the increased speed. I don't remember seeing signs there in the early 90s.

About 20 years ago I crashed on this same ride. I'd taken a bunch of runs already with my kids and my daughter and I were going for our last run. She was young and getting tired so I carried her sled for her and when we got back to the start I made the mistake of giving her my sled, not knowing the brakes on hers weren't nearly as good as mine. I was blasting down the hill and hit the brake at the same spot coming into a slow zone, only to find out I didn't have a chance of slowing like I needed to. I got pitched onto my left side, still hanging onto the sled, and let me tell you, polished concrete can give you some serious road rash! I still have the burn scars and lack of pigment on my leg. Shorts are a bad idea on this beast if you want to go fast!
I remember this one time I was on an alpine slide and I had to slow down because of this woman and her baby were going at a crawl speed for like 2 minutes and then I heard two guys coming down insanely fast so I told the woman to hurry up and as soon as I started to get up off the slide a guy slammed right into me and It seemed like I flew like 5 feet or so from the slide and luckily I didn't hit my head or anything. The woman either ignored me or was completely oblivious to the fact that I just flew off the slide getting several scrapes and cuts. If it wasn't for me being there, her and her baby could have been injured badly.
"Oh crap I lost my arm... Yeah well, let's continue!"
Only 1 way down
good thing i have two
No llevan cascos? Mucha velocidad, bordes de cemento por todos lados, muy peligroso.
We had one of these at Mount Hood in Oregon. In the early 90's my cousin and myself went to ride the alpine slide. We were both dirt bike riders. So, we raced each other all the time. We bought a 10 pack of ticket to ride the slide. After the 2nd ride I noticed if you moved up as far as you could to the brake you would go faster. On the 4th run I told my cousin to move up as far as you can on the sled. He went first. I was hauling ass. I was almost flying off the corners. Then out of nowhere is my cousin standing in the track. He crashed and was trying to get his sled back on the track. I slammed into him at a real high speed. Sent him flying. I told him to get on his sled fast before we get hit by the next rider. He had so much road rash. He was tore up. We never did go back.
There’s always one guy that can’t understand the Slow down signs.
Sometimes you get Lucky too and much more fun
Im not liking because the likes say 69
This brought back memories. Thanks for posting.
Fantastic run! It looks like you were wall-climbing on the inside corner here (0:33) and that caught the rear right wheel and flipped the cart; was there something on the track? Did you pump the brakes in the turn? Seems like you should have been just coming out of a graceful arc on the outside wall instead of flipping. I ask this so that I have pre-course feel when we line up opposite each other for championship! :)
It's nice to see that he was perfectly fine after crashing. Lucky!
All fine except for a little road rash
That crash could've gone way worse, glad you're okay dude lol
So I looked up "Alpine Slide" Thank God they have this in states close to me. I live in NC. I remember A LONG TIME AGO. This was specifically in Japan only.
I can feel the fiberglass track in my arms watching this 😬😬
Banner with "SLOW" written in giant letters.
This guy: And I took that personally
I flew off of that thing many years ago. It is a blast to ride down.
0:33 That was close!!

I did the same thing with my 5yo with me.We got up,brushed off and rode back down.We were at Attitash,too and it was 2002.
There’s a brake for a reason. Also big sign that says SLOW. But someone wanted to big speed racer.
Haha you got it. It was bragging rights as a kid to walk out of there with an injury
You sound kinda mad
Brakes are for cowards. Full speed ahead
NooB
Slide go brrrrr
I rode this slide soon after it opened with my parents (and again more recently with my kids). When my dad wiped out making the same mistake, it tore some skin off and he was bleeding. If you escaped without that happening you were very fortunate.
Dude where are places like these this looks so fun to do i mean high risk equals more fun right
When the first slow signs appeared, I was like "Slow? Why slow? That's boring." And then he crashed 😂 I would've done the same thing!
Man I'm on the edge of my seat while watching this...nerve-wracking
my buddies and I went down this in our late teens back in the late 80s, all of us were 6'3'' or taller over 200lbs , talk about speed! they wouldnt let us on it anymore cause we were racing to catchup and crash into each other. we all had burns all over for months after this, could barely wear pants to work or even move without tearing all the scabs
Slow and steady always pays off in the end.
For the risk adverse personality type, 100% true. In the end we all end up at the same destination - dead. In the meantime there's a risk/reward balance for all the experiences leading up to that, and for those who find fulfilment in adventure more risk is acceptable. Plus, there's no such thing as adventure without the element of risk. Without risk it's simply tourism, which is fine in it's own right.
No
Yeah but that is just boring.
>Well they shouldn't've gave him the option in the first place
He literally was fine. Faster is funner if you can not be a wimp
we used to ride this in the AM with rolled up burlap sacks in front of the sleds to dry the track before we opened it up for the day. the first runs were always crazy sketch because naturally we would still rip down it even though it was covered with the morning dew. any moisture on the track and you had no control but that is part of the thrill. if the track was wet and you pulled the brake it would actually make you go faster....downhill sideways two tires!!
Wow he was riding even without this thing
The way you reacted to this makes me think this isnt the fist time 🤣
Haha I haven't seen this comment before. We used to say you weren't trying if you didn't crash at least once

He was reading the signs but they were just wrong. He wasnt going slow at all
got a sneaky suspicion you go there a bit 🤣😂 fantastic job catching them people up again 😂🤣👍
Always break your falls with your neck especially the big lipped bends try and hit it at 40 miles an hour give or take its good for your health
Take some note, risky driver of this video! Thats some excellent advice.
Oh my god this brings back memories... I went on this thing like, 10 years ago as a kid and the (older) kid in front of me wouldn't stop telling me the story about how he skinned his elbow going down this thing. Good times, glad to see someone captured this before all the corporate kerfuffle took place :)
I think it's dangerous but fun at the same time
I love the fact that this guy is so insecure that after the little crash en his restart he had to scream “woooow” 2 times, only at the part where he repassed the people that saw him go off. It’s amazingly sad. Not a single sound during the rest of the ride.
You love that?
What’s the weight limit for this ride? If a person is slightly over there might not be enough banking wall on the turns.
I rode this when I was 8.
Can you imagine walking or going from top to bottom to see if anything is blocking the slide like a branch or something before it opens?
This looks insanely dangerous. Is it?
No its safe. There is a big brake handle you can pull inbetween your legs at any time. Many kids and older people ride it.
I rode the Alpine Slide in NH as many as 28 yrs ago! I was just a kid and I LOVED IT!!!
I cant read the fisrt sing, SLUW?? WTf but the others yes.
I never see this, it looks amazing, speedy and Im scared🤣🤣.
Great video, good track and your Body Slide was amazing.
