The latest trend among thrill-seeking California teenagers involves riding a skateboard on the freeway during rush hour and performing all sorts of stunts.

The ‘Freeway Challenge’ made its online debut beginning of May, with skater Nakel Smith posting footage of himself skating down the 110 freeway in LA.

Since then, several skateboarders have tried copying the idea, giving rise to the trending social media hashtag #FreewayChallenge.

While most of the copycats are trying Smith’s original stunts, some are pulling off their own, like dropping down a shoulder ramp and riding directly out into oncoming traffic, or hanging on to the back of large trucks.

Nikel Smith was contacted by the Los Angeles news station to get a statement, but he declined to talk to them. Instead, his manager spoke on behalf of the pro-boarder, saying Nikel does not encourage anyone to take part in the activity.
