Yes, looks like it. You can watch the video without having an account, although the Instagram site is super annoying to navigate when you're not logged in, same as Twitter.

Watching videos of this event reminds me of a comedian's bit where he talks about watching Rocky when he was young versus today. When he was young, he would cheer Rocky on while eating those raw eggs. When he watched it when he was older he thought about how hard it would be to get those egg stains off his sweatshirt.

In an age where people are as lonely and isolated as ever and rightly complain about the ubiquity of car-based transportation, here is a group that has built an actual community around practically carbon-free transportation.

Though, yes, even as a skateboarder I don't condone the hill-bombing as it is legitimately too dangerous.
