He should've jumped higher and gotten the secret tape as well. What a noob.

Would have been cool if he surfed after

This felt like something straight out of skate 3, super awesome

A side of me is kind of disappointed though because I’m seeing more and more skaters do things for like than to truly get better and push skateboarding forward

But im also not mad cause skateboarding was always more of a vibe than a sport. It was the corporations that tried to make it a sport and its not really about sport its about culture

Just dont know if i like this newer culture as much as the old but its still dope so I’m enjoying the ride

That had to hurt. His head was nearly perpendicular to the fall. Even with his change in position, falling from that height still packs a punch

u/ThisBeJamiee 1d ago

It's a døds, his arms are positioned like dive to take the hit more than his head. Usually it's more the legs that take the punch

u/c0ltZ 7h ago

It's a style of diving. You look like you're about to belly flop then you tuck your legs and arms into a C shape last second.

u/Prudent-Aspect5085 2d ago

That is what I would call a "nosedive"

u/pjtpassword 2d ago

Well that's a first.

It won't open; do you mind posting it again or telling me the name of the community?

Nevermind, the distance between the surface and the concrete creates a strange perspective.
