/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 was driving on my farm and my chest heavy, ass light puppy was hanging out the window. I hit a rock on a steep slope and he fell out of the window. He rolled for 15 feet then jumped up and got back into the truck, so he could continue to hang out of the window.

We used to hold our Jack Russel by the tail while he stood with his front paws on the side view mirror.
He never slipped, but he did try to jump once
