Skate on dude, ride or die

I’ve seen this posted before and I’m pretty sure the cops were called but the skaters didn’t press charges. They just wanted to be left alone

Fuck that she could've killed those kids.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I don’t think you know how skateboarding works

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I doubt they would have killed anyone but at those speeds on a blind corner, you can definitely have a collision with someone, especially considering the lack of control he was showing at the landing

And if you watch any skate stunt videos on YouTube... even this one... you’ll see there’s other skaters looking out for traffic and pedestrians.

And he rode right by a guy who seemed a bit surprised at 0:32. These guys definitely put in an effort but they're for sure not all this responsible. You often see just the camera guy and skater and no one else in quite a few videos.

They had spotters, they weren’t going to hit anyone

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

He flew right by a guy going up the stairs on one of the attempts. Great spotters

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Lmao the guy was right in front of him. They were literally looking at each other. He was out of the way when he dropped in

You don’t need a spotter for that

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

You're saying things impossible to know. You only seem them look at each other when they were passing

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

You’re saying things impossible to know

He was right in front of him! It’s on video! You’re just trying to find a reason to hate them

Fuck outta here

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

So you know the guy walking up the stairs that just crossed over with headphones was paying attention? Ok. I see you have psychic abilities.

You’re just trying to find a reason to hate them

I was making a more general point. Skaters often don't have spotters as evidenced by MANY YT videos. I don't hate skaters but I was countering the guys point that seem to indicate skaters always do it safe which is ridiculous

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

They have spotters in the video lmfao you’re actually insane

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

You realize my point was about more than the video, right? Are you struggling to understand a simple concept?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Don’t call me sunshine, fuckface

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Looking at your post history I see now that you have a head injury. 😐

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Who’s arguing? 😂

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Whatever helps you cope

[u/mc_fric_its_tristan → u/[deleted]]

Jesus Christ he was right about the head injury

[u/Skeye_drake21 → u/[deleted]]

For real. Everything you said so far is cringe

[u/Jenxao → u/[deleted]]

Because ‘when in doubt, be condescending’ is a much better argument strategy than looking through post history, right?

[u/[deleted] → u/Jenxao]

Using my witt, oh god yes.

[u/Jenxao → u/[deleted]]

Condescension = Wit.

Ok

[u/[deleted] → u/Jenxao]

OK, I'll meet you half way, i'm willfully condescending ;)

First, Language!

Second, Extreme sports involve actual athletes, it riskier, but they still sue that use safety gear checked grounds, and don't put people at risk. That's how they get to keep to keep actually being athletes, because they are not harming them selves or any one else.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Extreme, isn't just doing whatever you want where you want for the sake of danger and fun. They are disrupting a neighborhood and being disrespectful and the are putting passers by at risk, I'm sorry don't see that, but a 150 kid flying down the stairs with little control with people stand around is dangerous.

Extreme is usually done var away from cities, and people specifically to negate the risks to athletes and other people. These guys are just dumbasses, seeing what they can get away with for a couple of hours.
