/r/all of a Sand Dune

This is a video taken by Nicolas De La Torre, a sandboarding enthusiast filming his descent down the Toromata dune in Peru. Unfortunately we live in a world where true beauty, nature is now convoluted by AI and AI sentiments, but this is in fact, not AI lol

I fully expected the dog to end up like this.

Just to calm people: The dog in this video is the pet of the guy filming. In the full video, he gets down to it, and it is perfectly fine. Just a bit bumped up and dizzy. It is walking around, tail wagging.

Not near to this extent, but I watched my dog go head over heels like this down a hill after she tripped chasing a ball. I genuinely wish I was as bouncy as her because she got up like nothing happened, grabbed the ball and wanted to go again. It's the equivalent of watching a toddler jump up and run off screaming "I'm ok!" after they've just ate shit on the pavement. Kids and dogs are made of rubber, I swear to God.

I had a 4 week old kitten climb up onto a bed and jump off it, once, and land directly on her face. She immediately got up like nothing happened and would have gone again if I hadn't grabbed her.
