A skateboarder tackling a high speed mountain descent had his stunt disrupted when he was surprised by a herd of wild horses.
Kyle Connelly was told by locals that he was the first person to descend Loma de Fuego, a hill in Ciales, Puerto Rico, on a skateboard.
With incredible skill, Kyle, from Colorado, careered down the mountain road at breakneck speeds.
The skater even used a dangerous technique of touching the ground with glove-protected hands to steer himself around corners.
Mike Paproski, also from Colorado, filmed his talented friend's descent.
In a Facebook post, Mike said: 'We could feel the magic in the air after Kyle's first solo run, so we asked a local passer by, Jose, if he minded driving us up for a film run.
'He was happy to, and this is the raw footage of that run.'

The pair were speeding towards the bottom of the mountain when they rounded a corner and suddenly came face-to-tail with a herd of five wild horses.
The startled beasts bolted down the mountain road, and Kyle stopped abruptly for fear of hitting them.
But Mike continued to film the herd and captured rare footage as they galloped alongside his skateboard.

At the bottom of the mountain road Kyle said to Mike: 'I wish I didn't stop.'
Mike replied: 'I know, I was like, don't stop, don't stop, keep going.'
Kyle added: 'Sorry dude, I got scared.'
