I’m sure I’ve said it before, but one of the reasons I watch skateboarding videos is not to watch the dude attempt a trick and pull it off… rather, to watch the dude fail a few times and see how he hurts himself.

I never was a skateboarder growing up, and the few times I tried I fell off and luckly didn’t damage myself too badly. However, I did quickly realise that this wasn’t something I was going to like, or ever get the hang of, so I quit while I was ahead. I have all the respect in the world for those who can pull off some crazy tricks, backflips on the halfpipe, what have you… but should they land incorrectly after sailing in the air down some stairs, then I’m going to laugh and call them an idiot. Yeah, I’m mean that way. 

Anyway, there’s this dude who lands his trick, but the skateboard snaps. Frustrated that he hadn’t even had the board for a day, he takes he anger out on it, yet the skateboard fights back one last time. Brilliant:
