The winding thoroughfare — the first asphalt road ever laid in the state— is the regular venue of the longboarding's International Downhill Federation World Cup Series each year.
This clip shows Roden gathering speed on the remote road and, as she approaches a hairpin turn where a herd of cows are grazing, she tries to go right. At this stage there's no point in stopping and she's probably hoping she can get by the heifers suddenly clomping into her path.
There's no time to take evasive action, and the unlucky longboarder careens straight into a brown cow's tail end.
The cows involved in the incident were apparently unhurt, according to 9News MSN. Roden reportedly suffered a hoof-shaped bruise but she got up and did another run.
Cowabunga!
