A 2-mile stretch of the road - in an unincorporated area of north Santa Clarita - was shut down after a slide began pushing up the asphalt on Nov. 19.
Since the road closed, skateboarders have apparently been attracted to the steeply sloping roadway.
Photos from the area show skaters airborne atop the broken asphalt, and one skater reported many people at the site over the weekend. The unusual sight was an attraction for photographers as well, social media posts appeared to indicate.

The mountain is "still sliding & is unsafe," the tweet read. "Stay away!"

I had one of those, smallest pebble and the wheel would lock up.
