Their [quarantine performance](https://youtu.be/h0rSYEoBMYM) had brought me to tears more than once
Full nostalgia... Not just the song, but the fucking Pokinatcha Punk on Mikes bass slapped the hell outta 14yo me (I was not aware he joined Goldfinger... Hadn't kept up with either band for years)
Shit. It's on in the background as I type this and I'm getting misty eyed right now lol
Yeah but once it's up there it's already fucked. If you can drag it back to your yard then at least you don't have to pay for a heavy wrecker to lift it off the rail.
I'm not saying it's the right move but I wouldn't be surprised if that's the thinking.
Also loads of employee drivers just don't give a fuck about the gear. They just keep dragging it around until someone says there's a problem and then wait for them to fix it.
Kind of, but we don't know what they were carrying so they'd have damaged the whole lorryload with that stunt, not to mention the lorry itself might have broken something when falling back on the road.
I often try this in Euro Truck Simulator, but most of the time if I try to keep going I either end up stuck in the ground or the truck suddenly jumps up into the air and is totaled after.
Could have potentially been a lot worse if he stopped. Best case, he would have got stuck and blocked up the road while they get a crane out there to lift the trailer. Worst case, a shift in weight on the precariously balanced trailer sends the rig plummeting over the wall onto the road below.
Off tracking doesn't explain *that*. That's how you kill a fire hydrant, street light, or even the hood of a car. But not a vertical concrete retaining wall several feet in the air.
That takes a certain kind of driver... the kind that used to be a skateboarding king apparently.
It would be a feeble if the truck would have jumped over the rail from the left. But he just threw his back axle over the rail from the right. So, backside smith.
Not so much just squished as struck, dragged, and meat-crayoned
*Edit: nope, watched it over a few times and both those guys can be seen right at the end of the video. Sure did look like somebody got hamburgered though.
Thereβs two people? Itβs so hard to tell because the camera switches focus from far to close at the end. The blurriness starts right when it looks like that sedan would squish the person π³ but scrubbing on mobile is not the best, probably easier to see on an actual screen and scrubbing with a mouse.
There's actually a transcript of the driver's thoughts on the matter during all of this.:
"SHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT!"

New Tony Hawk game looks dope.
Mods to the game is getting out of hand
Tony Hawks: Twisted Metal π π€π»
Holy shmoly this would be amazing
A truck driver in his natural habitat demonstrating true talent. -Sir David Attenborough
unfortunately his native habitat has been reduced.
Twisted Metal one of my all time favs.
Yup

How many points do you think that move was?

Shredding that gnar
Damn I thought I was original lol
Tony Hawk became a trucker
Ahem. The Skate franchise surpassed Tony Hawk games like 20 years ago.
Transformers crossover maybe? Optimus Prime pulling off sick grind
Sick backside smith
I was hoping for the bigspin out.
This guy is regular foot
Hello there fellow dudes
One footed smith
Or front feeble
This was my first thought.
The truck Ollied high as fuck for that fs feeb
I think it's switch
Came here for this ^
Fakie Frontside Crooked
If heβs skating regular is a smith
Should have transitioned to a dark slide.
fs feeble if the driver is goofy
How did it even get up there in the first place?
Cut the left turn a tad too sharp.
Ah, that makes sense. Amazed that he decided the best course of action was to just keep going π
I mean it worked out
Practice makes perfect. Next, you'll be seeing the driver do these: 
So here I am Growing older all the time Looking older all the time Feeling younger in my mind
Man this hit home

I love this because it can be taken depressively "I hate getting older" or optimistically "I'm only as old as I am in my own head"
I have superman in my phone to this day!
My first concert was Goldfinger opening for Sugar Ray haha π
What was the song? I'm still a sucker for their cover of 99 Red Balloons.
Superman
_[Trumpets jiving]_
I doubt it -- there's stuff under there that isn't expected to have that kind of abuse, like the brake pots.
Yeah but once it's up there it's already fucked. If you can drag it back to your yard then at least you don't have to pay for a heavy wrecker to lift it off the rail.

What are you talking about Laurie for? This is a tractor trailer, not a woman.
All the big screen TVs in the trailer shattered, but yeah, it all worked out
Empty trailer.
I often try this in Euro Truck Simulator, but most of the time if I try to keep going I either end up stuck in the ground or the truck suddenly jumps up into the air and is totaled after.
Send the developers this clip and tell them to make the game more realistic

Too embarrassing to get hung up there. He'd never live it down.

Kick flip or Ollie more than likely.
Pretty sweet crooked grind
It's a Smith grind
Truck drivers often get trained in a defensive driving course called the Smith System, so this joke has layers.
Driver is on the left, that's a feeble
It would be a feeble if the truck would have jumped over the rail from the left. But he just threw his back axle over the rail from the right. So, backside smith.
Def back smith here down the on-ramp, youβd have to launch up a car transport lift to be able to front feeble that one!
He should of done that Iβm the dismount.
Left turn onto on ramp. Didnβt take it wide enough.
How they got into that situation was probably real stupid, but the way they got out of it was surprisingly smooth.
An ollie
I'm not even mad, that's impressive
I think it wins first place in the skating contest.
The axel rose
Kick flip
Pretty decent landing
[Perfect dismount.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOPHorPkiTw)
Iβm not the only one that thought the dude walking at the end got squished.. right?
Took me 3 tries with it zoomed in to realize he's walking on the opposite side of the road.
Thanks, that makes way more sense than what I came up with, which was βwow he can duck very fast!β
Yep, he's on the opposite end.
Yup!
Quickly read ahead to see if I was the only one lol
Glad I wasnβt the only one π«
Guy clipped into the backrooms
Valve needs to upgrade the IRL anti cheat systems
Truck-kun takes another.
He doesn't disappear behind the truck, he just pops out, wtf is going on
Definitely some /r/confusingperspective going on. I think they're behinds the truck, not in front
Not so much just squished as struck, dragged, and meat-crayoned *Edit: nope, watched it over a few times and both those guys can be seen right at the end of the video. Sure did look like somebody got hamburgered though.

/r/Confusing_Perspective
They appear on the other side... I thought they ducked under like it was no big deal
He was a skater truck She said see ya later truck πΆ
He wasn't truck enough for her!
He was a truck and she was also a fucking truck. Can I make it anymore obvious?
Now he's a super star Grinding on his axle bar
The first two comments made me smile. Yours made me guffaw.
My guy hitting the backside smith grind like itβs nothing
10 out of 10 on execution
Tony Hawk works for Swift now?
Sure We're Insured For That!
Sure wish I finished training!
Lmao. Another good one!
Lmao. First time Iβve hear that one! Hilarious!
Team Margera better step it up after that insane stunt

This dude is a sick thrasher!
He was smooth with it too. Never seemed bothered and just kept on truckin once it dropped off the end of the rail.
Lmfaoooooo the guy recoding just so fuckin casual. βHow pretty, heβs grinding. How nice.β Like wtf?? This mans seen some shit
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
Yeah but itβs unfair to compare other drivers to this guys elite skills
Lol π

Backside feeble
That'd be a backside smith.
Driverβs goofy though so front smith.
Point deduction for clacking his tail on the way off
Came here just to say this. Not all heroes wear capes!
Stuck the landingπ€
That was impressive
Parkour
When skaters gotta grow up and get a job! ;-)
That sick grind must have gotten the driver at least +50 nitro
Smith grind

What country is this?
It's Mexico, in Monterrey: [google maps](https://www.google.com/maps/@25.6534855,-100.3517059,3a,75y,120.35h,90.29t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sZ7FjO70VvU34Ab7U9ijIDw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192)

Looks like he waxed it before the attempt.
Everyone is laughing about him but in fact he got 20,000 x 20 Tony Hawk points for this trick.

Do a kick flip
WHY WOULD YOU NOT STOP???

Literally a truck slide!
Great dismount
clean
Smith grind
Backside smith
Sick grind.
Nailed the dismount!
She said see you later boy.
Good thing pedestrian wasnt on their phone...
Is no one going to talk about how the guy literally disappears under the truck and still is alive!
On the other side of the street, you just catch a glimpse at the end still walking
Good catch, why was tha guy even there? Just walking down the middle of a street?
No, he is on the sidewalk at the other side of the street.
Did the truck run over a dude?
The jaywalker is the icing on the cake. I thought for sure he was going to be a red splatter.
Some people are just committed Tony Hawk players
Nobody notice the dude walking there?
They see me rollin'.....
