New York City-based skater and photographer Josh Maready finally figured out how to kill a GoPro camera: Attach it to the bottom of your skateboard, then go for an insane middle-of-the-street cruise through Manhattan (somewhere on the west side, by the looks of the surroundings).

Though Maready destroyed two GoPros in the process, we have to say the footage was worth it. And Maready still stands behind the GoPro, readily admitting it's the thrashing, not the cameras' build quality, that led to their demise: "I skate very hard wheels and the roads are amazingly bumpy," he writes, "so the cameras I used took a massive beating before they bit the dust."
