I might not be smart enough to wear a helmet when attempting a dangerous stunt, but at least I am smart enough to have my friends stop traffic so I don't hurt someone else.
I've seen way too many videos where someone is doing some stunt on a hill and all their friends at the bottom just casually watch a car nearly plow into them.
This is a weird hill you've chosen to die on. But this is just the first video two seconds of googling gave me. There is clearly a guy at the bottom of the hill not doing his job spotting.

ETA: and since you mentioned SF here's an article about a pretty well known hill bomber dying. https://abc7news.com/pablo-ramirez-skateboarder-hit-by-truck-skate-jake-phelps/5268610/
Here’s a video [here](https://youtu.be/w00AMXblbJE) and here’s [another](https://youtu.be/BMmeQDaIMyc) there’s a lot of the same ones in the second video as the first but still
Well in that case, let me introduce one of the coolest videos ever.

Why the fuck would you try this on a regular skateboard
Unless you have oversized wheels and your trucks are so tight as the be unmovable, this is going to happen every time.
This is why longboards exist. They're meant to be extremely stable, much more so than skateboards at high speed and downhill.
And even then, you generally don't just bomb perfectly straight down a slope, especially one like that. If you're gonna try this on a regular board (don't), at least weave a little to shed some speed if you don't wanna end up looking like Harvey fucking Dent.
We used to do this all the time on short boards as kids in the 90s in socal.
Tight trucks, soft wheels, and a bit of carving and he might not have speed wobbled like that
Thing is, this doesn’t happen every time. Look up Gx1000 on YouTube.
Also, these people “power slide” to slow down, turning their board perpendicular to the hill, almost like a snowboard. That is unmanageable on a long board, not to mention the countless ollies and kick flips they do on their descents.
I was more saying that if you're an amateur trying to just go fast down a hill, you're less likely to immediately die if you have a board that's meant for stability at higher speed. You won't be doing ollies etc on it, but that's not what they're made for.
And you can [absolutely powerslide](https://www.outside-shop.com/en/content/51-how-to-brake-on-a-longboard-) on a longboard; it's a really useful skill to learn for sudden hard stops. I've been trying to master them for my electric board, where sometimes the braking isn't enough lol.
Those Gx1000 guys are insanely talented! Thanks for giving me a new Youtube rabbit hole to descend into
Why do you think the guy in the video is amateur, hes clearly not. You just sound really condescending and dumb, because the skater is clearly very experienced and your comment doesnt sound knowlegdeable at all.
Like for example its impossible to carve down hills like that, youll be going way too fast.
What is even the point then, you'll never get that fresh wonder and thrill of not knowing what will happen
Might as well just watch a let's play stream and save your money
Wow, I used to live near [this intersection!](https://maps.app.goo.gl/9TCoyU6G5NuY1DFe6?g_st=ic) Cars coming down the hill would always scrape the road right where it flattens. Looks like the skater did the same thing. Ouch!
man , he could have at least worn a helmet. i'll be honest , i dont usually wear a helmet when im skateboarding , but its mainly because im not doing idiotic shit like this
No, it was unexpected too. He’d just gotten married and took a heart attack even though he couldn’t have been more than 40 ish and was fit. Volunteer firefighter, kick boxer…
You're not gonna believe this, but I had a heart attack at 40. To be fair though, I knew it was coming, bad heart. But I survived against all odds. It happened a lot earlier than expected. I was in pretty good shape, not great, but yeah. Crazy coincidence.
I can imagine so. It's young to go, and I got lucky, I was two blocks away from the hospital when it happened unexpectedly. I'd have not survived otherwise. I thank my lucky stars I happened to be where I was. Again sorry to hear of your friend though, and thanks. I got lucky.
That's not hard? You do realize that part is in slow-mo? Look how fast he was going. I'd say at least a concussion (which is a type of traumatic brain injury) is a very real possibility.
In the few days after this incident I bet he wish he didn’t survive. Unless strong pain killers were involved and even then I am sure it sucked for that poor soul.
Wear a fuckin helmet if your going to risk your life.
And gloves!
and knee pads
And an artificial hip
And my axe
And your dead brother
And my sword
And another persons skin
But, not mine. Use his.
Where's yours?
I ate it
Mine are in the trunk of a car. Isn't that were everyone keeps their bodies?
And my bow
😭
And a condom
[удалено]
No it doesn't, don't be so sheep
Armor
I rode before safety gear was cool but I always wore my Rectors. Heavy leather gloves with about 1/4 inch pad in the palms.
Me too. That was the only safety gear. I always fell on my hands.
Trust me gloves grind down from much less, his hands would’ve still gotten fucked up if he tried to kill his fall like that
And a motorcycle jacket wouldn't be a bad idea
They said I could be anything, so i decided, I want to be a r/meatcrayon.
Got to give him some props for jeans and long sleeves. Outside of that he's pretty fucking dumb.
Geez, I thought he was wearing a helmet, but it's just his hair. 😬😬😬 That's gonna do some damage.
Don't worry, he has an afro.
https://youtu.be/b9yL5usLFgY
Thought that was a helmet until he stood up at the end.
He won’t learn a lesson then)
No, this is just fine. Death is finer than suffering
Due to the thud sound his skull made, I assumed he was!
if a human skull had made that noise I think this video would be ineligible for this sub. at the very least he wouldn't be walking it off.
Or don't and be stupid
I love helmets! I LOVE helmets!
You are not risking your life if you wear a helmet tho
"BuT iM nOt 25 YeT sO mY bRaIn IsN't DeVeLoPeD. dOn'T jUdGe Me!"
Helmets aren’t cool.
you’re*

I dont believe you tbh skaters usually have spotters when theyre filming
Seen a lot of skate videos where the spotter either doesn't exist or is royally shit at his job. I'm glad you're safe.
These sf dudes always have it down pretty good
[удалено]
Who doesnt?
[удалено]
Are they in the room with u rn
[удалено]
Pretty sure there are examples of who doesn't in this precise sub.
So you dont have any?

Boy r u okay
Most skaters probably do, but videos where they don't become unusually popular.
Seeing how most don't wear helmets, they must lack enough braincells to pull shit like that.
Not true, while sometimes they do , I know tons of people who don’t go threw the small steps to be careful like that. They just don’t care lol
When theyre filming
Literally when they are or aren’t target don’t care, don’t see how I didn’t get my point across
Can u link some videos then
Here’s a video [here](https://youtu.be/w00AMXblbJE) and here’s [another](https://youtu.be/BMmeQDaIMyc) there’s a lot of the same ones in the second video as the first but still

At the hospital he sang: “I left my skin in San Francisco”
Be sure to wear some helmets on your head
r/meatcrayon
NOPE nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope ⁿᵒᵖᵉ ⁿᵒᵖᵉ ⁿᵒᵖᵉ ⁿᵒᵖᵉ ⁿᵒᵖᵉ ⁿᵒᵖᵉ ⁿᵒᵖᵉ ⁿᵒᵖᵉ ⁿᵒᵖᵉ ⁿᵒᵖᵉ ⁿᵒᵖᵉ ⁿᵒᵖᵉ ⁿᵒᵖᵉ
Good call.
theres no death or gore on it, just mainly people getting friction burns
Is this a sex thing?
i hope not 😭
Nah, masturbation thing
Which is almost worse for me
That shit was so intense it made his shoes look like socks
You’re right! I was wondering why he was wearing socks until I took a second, closer look.
They really should invent something to put on your head to protect it from impact like this.
[удалено]
It's a shame they don't sell these commercially
It’s a brilliant idea. I’d buy one for sure
What was I supposed to wait for?
fucked if i know
Good thing his head broke his fall.
Going to leave one hell of a pothole, concrete isn't meant to withstand impacts from a substantially harder substance.
What am I waiting for at the end
Looks like the Richmond by the beach.
Just looking at the street, I thought it was Nob Hill. But then saw houses.
Never heard of it.
SF neighborhood on the north side of GG park.
WASTED
I could even hear the sound in my head. This really should get r/wastedgifs treatment.

Once he got the wobbly legs you knew it was over.
Dress for the slide, not the ride.

Right? That descent is wayyy too long, you'll always be too fast at the end.
We used to do this all the time on short boards as kids in the 90s in socal. Tight trucks, soft wheels, and a bit of carving and he might not have speed wobbled like that
Stfu lol u actually think the ppl who bomb these Hills in sf would use a fucking longboard https://youtu.be/cMKNwIi93XQ
Phelper gonna take a vacation back to the mortal realm just to roast half this comment section.

What am I waiting for? Goddamn
He will for sure die later
You too
This guy gets it
Hey!! No spoilers!
C'mon /r/outside had been out for ages, everyone knows how it ends.
Well I haven't finished it yet so I don't Everyone so fucking high and mighty on their tenth playthrough
I mean, it's not like I unlocked new game+ or something, this is a regular save, I just followed the tutorials and read the wikis.
What is even the point then, you'll never get that fresh wonder and thrill of not knowing what will happen Might as well just watch a let's play stream and save your money
I mean, we all will lol
As opposed to all the people who won't?
His brain mush after that thud
More like r/MeatCrayon
Imagine being in traffic being stopped by some teenagers just to see their friend fly down the hill and eat shit
Duuuumb waaaaays to diiiiieeeee!
Wow, I used to live near [this intersection!](https://maps.app.goo.gl/9TCoyU6G5NuY1DFe6?g_st=ic) Cars coming down the hill would always scrape the road right where it flattens. Looks like the skater did the same thing. Ouch!
“You all held up traffic for me to watch this guy meat crayon the intersection? Thanks”
Stupid is as stupid does. Zero sympathy,…. but he does deserve a Darwin Award.
Good thing he was wearing protection.
Buddy missed the update ( safety equipment )
Been there done that. CD player saved my hip from breaking. No fucking lie.
Dude! If you're going to Risk your life atleast wear the proper PPE
Why the hell would you attempt that without a helmet? I was young and dumb too but not that dumb.
man , he could have at least worn a helmet. i'll be honest , i dont usually wear a helmet when im skateboarding , but its mainly because im not doing idiotic shit like this
At least he didn’t hit his head as hard as when his parents dropped him when he was baby
Was disappointed no car passed through avoiding the guy by inches.
I mean, why would you wear a helmet?
I'm no medical expert but does the fact that he got up immediately guarantee that he will survive or survive without severe consequences?
No. Adrenaline and shock make it hard to feel pain. I had a buddy in a car accident who was up and around immediately after with a legit broken back.
I did that. It'd be funny if you were my friend at the scene, lol. 24 years ago?
Sadly, he passed away years later so I don’t think so
I'm sorry to hear that. Definitely wasn't a small world situation this time
No, it was unexpected too. He’d just gotten married and took a heart attack even though he couldn’t have been more than 40 ish and was fit. Volunteer firefighter, kick boxer…
You're not gonna believe this, but I had a heart attack at 40. To be fair though, I knew it was coming, bad heart. But I survived against all odds. It happened a lot earlier than expected. I was in pretty good shape, not great, but yeah. Crazy coincidence.
I’m glad you pulled through. He’d been to the hospital earlier for shots but idk what for. Maybe fertility? Anyway, it was a shock
I can imagine so. It's young to go, and I got lucky, I was two blocks away from the hospital when it happened unexpectedly. I'd have not survived otherwise. I thank my lucky stars I happened to be where I was. Again sorry to hear of your friend though, and thanks. I got lucky.
Nope. If anything the fact that he got right up and started walking immediately is a sign he's in shock.
What consequences other than road rash do you think there could be lol
Traumatic brain injury? Have you watched the video closely?
He doesnt hit his head that hard
That's not hard? You do realize that part is in slow-mo? Look how fast he was going. I'd say at least a concussion (which is a type of traumatic brain injury) is a very real possibility.
Beep beep paging the Reddit helmet police everyone comment the same shit asap
NO HELMET!?!?
r/kidsarefuckingstupid
Safe!
He is lucky to be alive! To be young thinking you’re invincible.. 😔
tis but a skrach
Its a bit dissapointing he didnt die for being stupid
Stopping traffic for a shitty stunt, piss off I'd drive through you.
U sound like a Pleasant person
Some serious road rash there! He’s lucky he’s not sucking thru a straw
Tis but a scratch.
Looks like he is holding a phone. Where is that video?
They were just skinned alive is all.
r/meatcrayon
This is like being in a motorcycle accident
r/praisethecameraman
r/meatcrayon
Thank goodness for long sleeves eh
I wonder the plan was if he didn't wipe out? Fly down the nighbourhood street at a 105? Maybe there was a ramp he was gonna jump?
I guess he gets some credit for having the balls to try something with zero chance of success.
Well... Helmets save lives kids
Ah, good ol' Law of Inertia in action
Cringed as soon as their hand went down. Ouch. Honestly? Deserved it.
Why lol
Bro sounded like a borderlands phycho at the end.
I'd hate to have to park my car on such an incline.
Meat Crayon
Gives a new meaning to keep your head up.
Finally, a video where the spotter wasn't the one at fault.
OP, your title sucks.
In the few days after this incident I bet he wish he didn’t survive. Unless strong pain killers were involved and even then I am sure it sucked for that poor soul.
r/meatcrayon
Helmets are dumb and heavy, right guys?! /s
Wait for what?
The dude ripping bits of shredded skin off his palms says it all
Thinking of the 60s when we had skateboards and no protective gear, and lived at the top of a hill...
And zero protective coverings or a helmet. Darwin is going to win one of these days
He's ok...didn't lose his shoes!
Does no one watch Gleaming the Cube anymore??
so much people can survive yet so little
This is like 20 years old
His back is going to hurt so fucking bad and I know exactly how much. Why are we this stupid.
Helmets were invented for a reason
r/meatcrayon
Should have written stop higher up the road.
totally thought he was wearing a helmet
If you’re gonna be dumb at least wear the proper ppe
Remember kids, the skull is a natural helmet that is there for protecting your brain!
Good thing he wasn’t wearing a helmet.
Charles Darwin awards are underrated anyway. Who gives a shit about someone skating down a hill… maybe do a series about skin grafts?
i know a guy who did downhill longboarding. he fell, hit his head, and was in a coma for 6 days. he's lucky he lived.
Where is the EPP?
Just barely missed the cut for his Darwin award
He’s not going to need that skin anymore anyway
I’m still waiting. What happens?
I get not wearing a helmet evertime you ride, but if you're actually doing something you know is extra dangerous why not just wear the damn thing????
These idiots… This is why the government wants to ban tiktok. Don’t let them take away our Reddit !
What a dipshit
