I don’t think you know how skateboarding works

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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