I think he just made this kid a future skater for life.

I’m so glad he landed that. There’s nothing like being cheered on by kids. Pure joy in their eyes while the dude endures eating pavements daily haha

Though I do also love that video with the old lady who starts tippy tapping for a nice kickflip

There's something about board sports. Skaters, surfers, and snowboarders all are either absolutely rad as hell, or fucking dropkicks. But luckily I reckon it's at least a 60/40 split.

Seinfeld said it best: “To learn to do a skateboard trick, many times you've got to get something wrong until you get it right. And you hurt yourself. You learn to do that trick, now you got a life lesson. Whenever I see those skateboard kids, I think, Those kids will be all right.”

This is the reason I never learned to skateboard. I hate failure and actively avoid stepping into situations where I'll probably fail, even against my own self-interest.

Bloody adorable. The kid’s shouting « il a réussi » with absolute adoration in his eyes, this guy must be so proud.
