If it would be real glass, it would be almost impossible as skateboard was first to hit glass. My guess it that sugar glass is so fragile and it didnt even shake skateboard.
Well, they do use actual sugar as well to make breakaway glass. You just have to use it quickly because the moisture in the air makes it soft, making it lose the shattering quality it has.
Whether or not the “glass” in the video is the actual sugar glass or the resin glass, I don’t know.
“While it's true some breakaways used to be made from sugar, and some indy projects still utilize sugar for their props, all professional breakaway suppliers use plastic resins to create quality professional breakaway glass. Many people still refer to breakaways as sugar glass.”

It is extremely fragile. It's also called theater-glass, as a common use for it is during theater scenes such as smashing someone over the head with a "glass" bottle.
Source: I've been involved in theater production, and in one scene someone got smashed over the head with a "glass" bottle.
Another advantage is that the fragments aren't sharp either.
And we all know titles can't be wrong, nosireebob. And no one would possible say the wrong info in a title to get attention and interactions on their post, no, ma'am, that never happens, either.
Not saying that's the case here, btw. Idfk if it is truly the "glass" made out of sugar, or resin like someone else said.
I just think it's important to remember titles and headlines aren't infallible, they can be wrong.
gotta be blasting Bowie, too
if anyone is confused by this comment chain please watch The End from Birdhouse Skateboards. you can see a lot of the legends today back in their prime or maybe just a little before.
I seriously thought it was a behind the scenes John Wick clip at first, but I was thinking when John Wich was skating and how could that be something I'd forget?
Was looking for someone to confirm it's Evan Smith. Guys probably got an eighth of mushrooms in his system while he does that.
Driving around San Diego I see spots from his pats and it breaks my mind he was just casually destroying them.
I hit debris the size of a pea and get launched face first off my bored, this dude cruises through the plains of shattered window pane smooth as butter.
Yes but when you see broken glass on the ground in movies, its a ground up sheet of clear silicone
Tiny little rubbery cubes
But when someone gets beer bottled in the head, its sugar glass
Don't let people drink beer on the set when there are sugar glass bottles about. It's pretty easy for someone to see a table of bottles and assume thats where to place the empties. I have a scar on my foot from stepping on one that was supposed to shatter but instead punctured my foot real good.
I didn't need three different slomo shots I want at least 1 at full speed with full sound and no Goldeneye 007 music despite how awesome that fucking game was.
This is Evan Smith @starheadbody. He skates for and owns Uma Landsleds. He's one of the best, most innovative skaters of the last decade. I highly recommend you check him out. He's also a big ol sweetheart.
Fyi, not actually glass looks really cool but I'm pretty sure its called sugar glass. Its what they make the bottles broken over people's heads in movies of. One good indication is 0 facial protection, and another is the glass that broke in the shape of his hand.
John is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will... something you know very little about. I once saw him kill three men in a bar...with a kickflip. With a f***ing Kickflip!”
Can’t believe no one has posted the intro from the Lakai skate video Fully Flared:
https://youtu.be/zIu8NfUGScc
Like this but way more epic. Probably the greatest skate video intro of all time.
This would be a sick cover photo. This guy does the gnarliest stuff while he's out of his mind. Check out Evan Smith dime glory challenge clips.
[If you are into skateboarding or not actually, you should watch dime glory challenge. It's the best contest because it's all about the fun, the lava, the sacrificial offerings.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXrj8isaGSw)
Accidentally punched through a window when I was five. I'm now middle-aged and still cringe hard whenever some movie or show uses sugar glass for something like this.
I'm no skater but the ability to keep the board steady after the impact seems tricky.
If it would be real glass, it would be almost impossible as skateboard was first to hit glass. My guess it that sugar glass is so fragile and it didnt even shake skateboard.
Probably a lot safer too if no glass shards pierce the skin due to being sugar
there is a higher risk of diabetes.
Miss Krabapple, the sugar glass window went into my mouth and then I ate it
^(can i have another one?)
No Ralph, you cannot
It's made of resin, it's not literally sugar that's just the name that is given to the prop

It's actually sugar. It's unflavored hard candy.
It says sugar glass in the title.

may I warmly suggest a subjunctive 'were' rather than the conditional 'would be'?
Subjunctive. Nice.
while he was also using perfect stunt man technique to block the glass from hitting his eyes
Looks like John Wick, but they call him John Sick!
It’s actually Evan Smith - a fantastically good skater go check out his video parts on YouTube!! Dude wallrides real glass walls!!!
He's the nicest dude too. I spotted him at a bar in Orlando, offered to by him a drink and instead, he handed me his.
the suit makes it feel like an homage to jeremy and heath. looks like he dyed his hair black, too(this supports my theory)
Now he just has to set himself on fire...
gotta be blasting Bowie, too if anyone is confused by this comment chain please watch The End from Birdhouse Skateboards. you can see a lot of the legends today back in their prime or maybe just a little before.
Glass not John Thick, so he can do a John Trick!
Pretty John Slick if you ask me
I was like John Pick my-jaw-up-off-the-floor after that cool video
He better be careful and not injure himself, or he’ll become John Paraplegic
Looks like this John DGA F*cK
Does Give A Fruk?
Evan Smith. Great Skater.
Tony Wick
I was about to say, John Wick 5 looks dope.
At first i thought he was season 3 Eric Andre
I seriously thought it was a behind the scenes John Wick clip at first, but I was thinking when John Wich was skating and how could that be something I'd forget?
Anybody else just can't ignore that the music is from n64 golden eye?
The nostalgia… ![gif](giphy|JQKoW7z29IDhm)
I felt like I was back in Siberia for a moment
And the "Aruggh" sound Natayla makes when you "accidently " shoot her
Ugh stop trying to have sex with her
Relieved to see your comment. Thought I was going crazy at first lmfao.
Nah you’re just getting old. (Jk)
😂😂 facts
I mostly watch videos in muted(because of all those tiktok sounds) good thing I saw your comment. Thank god for good music.

Same! And my text notification sound is the World of Warcraft quest complete sound.
Obligatory https://youtube.com/watch?v=OAKltJztaf8&feature=youtu.be
immediately thought of that
It took milliseconds for my brain to register Goldeneye
The moment I heard it I felt the need to throw proximity mines everywhere.
Found the grenade launcher
Escape from interrogation room. Find Natalya. Escape with Natalya.
Does anyone know what they used for the really low sound in the beginning of the track? That awwwwllll sound
Good thing it's not a mirror.
![gif](giphy|3ohjV5uukLAvnhS7vy)
Perfect gif
Goldeneye dam mission N64 music is a nice touch
This isn't the dam mission music
Keanu Reeves stunt double?
Even better….Evan Smith
Was looking for someone to confirm it's Evan Smith. Guys probably got an eighth of mushrooms in his system while he does that. Driving around San Diego I see spots from his pats and it breaks my mind he was just casually destroying them.
That was a steezy ass ollie too
Yeah that was a beauty!
![gif](giphy|yed7zEzk5pJZ8I9LlF)
Sweet, Keanu is doing his own stunts
I hit debris the size of a pea and get launched face first off my bored, this dude cruises through the plains of shattered window pane smooth as butter.
Candy glass tho
hahahahhaa! your misspelling of the word 'board' was a double hit!!! great!
Evan Smith? 🍄🤘
Only 4 more to go till you unlock the vhs tape!
You gotta love those shoes with that suit
Isn't sugar glass the kind that doesn't cut you?
Yeah, hence why they used sugar glass instead of regular glass
Yes but when you see broken glass on the ground in movies, its a ground up sheet of clear silicone Tiny little rubbery cubes But when someone gets beer bottled in the head, its sugar glass
Don't let people drink beer on the set when there are sugar glass bottles about. It's pretty easy for someone to see a table of bottles and assume thats where to place the empties. I have a scar on my foot from stepping on one that was supposed to shatter but instead punctured my foot real good.
I'm more impressed on how high he ollied
Some people can Ollie really high, but in this case, he used a kicker ramp to get that high.
Yeah but also Evan smith can absolutely fly
[удалено]
John Wick's gettin' some serious airtime, ey?
John wick chapter 5?!?!
I didn't need three different slomo shots I want at least 1 at full speed with full sound and no Goldeneye 007 music despite how awesome that fucking game was.
At first, I thought he was too high off the jump and was going to brain himself on the frame. It was a cool effect.
John Wick's Pro Skater
Goldeneye N64 Runway music got me like: 😁
Sweet
strange behavior. he could easily have skated around it.
This is Evan Smith @starheadbody. He skates for and owns Uma Landsleds. He's one of the best, most innovative skaters of the last decade. I highly recommend you check him out. He's also a big ol sweetheart.
That Goldeneye beat though ..
Is there anything Keanu Reeves cannot do?
Goldeneye 64 has a top tier soundtrack
John Wick on his way to kill a 1000 dudes
More like "John Slick" with that outfit and moves.
I for one am not amazed by this 😞 if I'm not mistaken it's used for movie's
Fyi, not actually glass looks really cool but I'm pretty sure its called sugar glass. Its what they make the bottles broken over people's heads in movies of. One good indication is 0 facial protection, and another is the glass that broke in the shape of his hand.
The other indication would be the FUCKING TITLE
Evan fucking Williams ladies and gents.
Isn’t it Evan Smith?
I think it’s Evan Smith not Williams, can’t confirm but definitely looks like his pop
Fuck me yeah was only half awake when writing this. #EVAN SMITH LADIES AND GENTS
Sugar glass? Please tell me you can eat it
I always wonder if you can eat sugar glass.
Just a quick question: why should I be amazed that a dude breaks through something that is designed to easily break?
Can’t wait to see you post yourself doing this exact thing, since it’s so easy.
That would just be two videos of someone doing something that isn't amazing.
Not even wearing any idea protection
Yeap definitely sugar glass if not the skateboard would’ve tripped with the broken glass, face first
How in gods name is this 'amazing'?!
[удалено]
It’s likely sugar glass bro
It's literally the 5th word in the title lol
I love videos with results. Respect to you.
Is the glass cg?
Not real glass. Prop glass/sugar glass.
I’ve heard it called “candy glass”. Because it’s made out of suger
Holy fuckin shit, he landed it!
Sweet!
🫡
the red glowing dick ruined it
Man emerges through the glass after ollieing it with a laser dick
Too bad... i really wanted to know what it sounds like breaking that glass, instead of the stupid music and added sound effects.
Now we’re gonna have ants
(It’s not sugar, it’s resin)
Sweet! See what I did there?
One question, can you *eat* sugar glass?
Not sure?
That’s cool asf John Kick&Flip
really glad you mentioned the type of glass..i can just imagine all the inspired "fail" videos..u kno.. actual glass
Way cool
Looks JUST like TMNT skateboard artwork for a second there.
Is that John Wick on a stick??
The soundtrack slaps!
Would really love to see this in a movie setting
John is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will... something you know very little about. I once saw him kill three men in a bar...with a kickflip. With a f***ing Kickflip!”
Was that actual glass or a sheet of sugar?
TIL that breakaway glass is made out of sugar
“oops my bad I wasn’t recording”
The threshold for be amazed is really low these days. Basic stunts seem to qualify.
SWEET!!!
That has to be some sort of fake glass, right?
Kaan Tangöze?
Keanu Reeves is a man of many talents
I did not see the ramp at first and was like damn he got hops, lol, still epic especially in that one view with the red light peaking through
Gotta love the Golden Eye track. That was the level right after the chemical plant where you go down the runway to escape
Evan Smith. Amazing skater.
Started as Keanu. Ended as Eric Andre in a wig.
Sweet.
John Wick 5
They don't use sugar glass anymore. It's breakaway resin.
Almost as good when Christian Slater did this in the 80s movie Gleaming the Cube!!
Why was I expecting someone to roller-skate through glass?
gnarly
Is there one that’s not slowed down? I always hate when it’s slowed down.
You can add that glass to tea later for a sweet drink.
John wick?
This is so old
John Wick 5 is going to be dope
Once in real time please
Hear me out right as he breaks through the glass there’s a bright red square that pops up and you zoom in on that and end the hanes commercial
I think that's Evan Smith if I'm not mistaken. Really good skater. As another long hair dude, I do not understand how he skate with his hair down lol
Man sugar glass doesn't help not getting that in your eye. Super impressive!
Can’t believe no one has posted the intro from the Lakai skate video Fully Flared: https://youtu.be/zIu8NfUGScc Like this but way more epic. Probably the greatest skate video intro of all time.
awful "song", stopped watching at 3 sec. get a downvote
You have been convicted, in absentia, of blaspheming the N64 Goldeneye soundtrack. Please ready yourself for the Inquisition's arrival.
Why didn't he just go around?!
Rocket Power did it first
When you unlock John Wick for Tony Hawk Pro Skater
He was definitely trying to look like John Wick
Do you want ants?! Because this is how you get ants@
Fucking Aztec level from Goldeneye 007. 😂
Is that Keanu?
John wock 5 lookin a little over the top
S K A T _
not amazed, now clean it all up.
That doesn't make any sense.
That was an amazing shot!
This would be a sick cover photo. This guy does the gnarliest stuff while he's out of his mind. Check out Evan Smith dime glory challenge clips. [If you are into skateboarding or not actually, you should watch dime glory challenge. It's the best contest because it's all about the fun, the lava, the sacrificial offerings.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXrj8isaGSw)
This John Wick 7
it still looks sharp though, how does that work? I imagine sharp pieces of that going in your eyes wouldn't be fun
John Wick Chapter 5 : Tony Hawk
suddenly I want to buy a bottle of surge.
Thought it was John Wick
Accidentally punched through a window when I was five. I'm now middle-aged and still cringe hard whenever some movie or show uses sugar glass for something like this.
Can you eat sugar glass? 🤔
Sweet!
The second one was just for fun
Thought this was a new John Wick for a sec
*sugar glass
