1:39 and he hits the brakes... WTF? Never saw anything like that.

That looks kick ass to just be standing while flying down a road, can't grasp it actually.

Can the lack of speed wobbles be attributed to skill, or an improvement in equipment design? Been a long time since I rode a skateboard.

To prevent speed wobbles, you tighten down the trucks as far as they'll go. You wont be able to do anything except go straight. We used to do this on our ramp and pool boards. Once on a fast downhill, I threw some gravel out in front of my brother. We were always doing fucked up shit to each other.

They have come a long way from the beginning. When I was a kid living in San Diego before moving back to Texas in the late 60's, skate boards were one of the latest crazes. We made our own using plywood boards or what ever lumber handy and taking ether a steel or fiber wheeled skate and mounting the wheels on it.

Road rash was common, because the smallest rock or trash on the roads or sidewalks would stop our homemade skateboards instantly but our body's would keep going and go airborne (short flight) then the crash. :o

Soft wheels solved that problem many years later.
