Cocaine King - freeride

Bad Decisions Alex cruised out to Colombia last week. There the local mostros brought him to the driveway that leads up to Pablo “Cocaine King” Escobar’s prison. This isn’t any prison like you know though. This prison was designed and built by Escobar and is more of a mansion for him to live under house arrest with lavish parties. Good news for us is that he desired a beautiful view of Medellin so a steep winding road was built leading to the top of a mountain. All of the roads here are incredibly dangerous, steep, narrow, two way traffic on one lane roads. The locals here are fearless charging into blind corners that often hide speeding motorcycles and huge trucks. Juan Pablo Villegas was the first downhill skateboarder in Medellin, he has been an integral part of forming a skate scene in his city. He has been skating these local runs longer than anyone else. Santiago Granada is a young gun who will skate any board you put in his hand, take a look at his wheel setup in the last few seconds of the video. —
