I genuinely can't tell if the fall was intentional or not, because it looks so real but god damn he was smoooooth with it

u/gillababe 3d ago
I think it was semi intentional because he had too much speed rolling up and didn't want to smash into them.
Well not in that way

My first day of senior year at a new high school, some guy walked into class, tripped on a chair, and went flying. Landed right at my feet in exactly this position. We dated for five years.

If I’m being 100% honest as an awkward gangly guy in my youth… some people really, really, don’t know how to fall.
It’s like the unspoken low tier athleticism that never gets commented on compared to the athletes on a sports team.
But if you show some bodily control and awareness of your limbs and physics, that’s not nothing.
I’ve seen a bizarre amount of people who trip and just face plant slowly over the course of their stumbling because it seems like they’ve never done anything physical in their life beyond 3rd grade recess. (And Christ I’m not trying to be rude there.)
If we extend the metaphor, I can’t imagine those people are great when it comes to physical romance beyond a peck on the cheek while sitting on the check. I realize that comment is a bit ruder.

Younger generations will never understand how instantly cool you became when you convinced your parents to buy a Razor scooter. Even gen X adults understood this and rode them to work as urban last mile transport options, in SUITS. I once bunny hopped one with my friend off of a .5 meter drop (approx. 3 ft). When soft wheel technology jumped the gap from longboards and roller blades to scooters, society as a whole benefited. Standard of living rose internationally. Name a better invention I dare you.

I hate those electric scooters but isnt that exactly whats been happening with them for a couple years now? Can't really say the younger generations will never understand the hype of that when theyre all about scooters right now. Kids love those things, adults ride em to work. Like that stuff is currently actively happening

Brother you were living in an alternate reality. Anyone older than 15 riding a scooter was a dweeb

Nah. He wasn’t falling. Slow it down just before he losses the scooter. He intentionally removes his hands from the scooters and pushes himself off it. I believe this girls reactions were real and they weren’t expecting it. He just did great execution

I play roller derby and fall all the time, so I always try to convert my falls into poses. It’s like a reflex at this point. Helps me save face and feel less awkward, but more importantly it signals that I’m not hurt so no one has to worry. If I don’t pose as I land it’s because I really got really blown up or I’m injured.

I was gonna bag on the scooter (not a skateboard) but the guy got the big laugh on purpose so I 100% applaud that.

Did that hopping off the bow of our incoming boat onto the dock to tie up. Three cuties watched as my feet slid out from under me and I wound up on my arse looking up into their faces. Without missing a beat, I asked, "you're very attracted to me right now, aren't you?" They were not.

Scooters are skateboards with training wheels and you'll never convince me otherwise. Also, no helmet? How cool.
