Weary commuters can't wait to get off Southern California's clogged freeways.

But for others, the forbidden lure of the highway is like a magnet.

Over the years, authorities have dealt with protesters, renegade bicyclists, horseback riders and even runners who climb onto various interstates to make a point or simply fulfill a dare.

In recent weeks, it's been skateboarders. Videos have been posted on YouTube, Instagram and other social media services showing skateboarders roaming through traffic on freeways from downtown Los Angeles to San Diego. Some used the hashtag #freewaychallenge with their posts.

I see this a lot on city streets here near San Diego.

The worst thing you can do is react to it.  They love the attention.

Apparently, mommy didn't hug them enough.
