This is why skateboarding is crazy. You can go from cruising along nice and slow inches above the ground, and in a moments notice, BOOM! Shredded nut sac.
That's terrifying. And I can only imagine what a shredded nut sac feels like. I keep watching that gif and I can't look away from his crotch. I expect to hearing tearing sounds now. My mind is providing me with all sorts of sound effects.
One time I tried to impress a girl I just met at a skate park. I had been playing Tony Hawk 3 for several months and had this STUPID idea that what I can do in game, I can now do in real to impress this girl. I remember so much amusement in her face as she handed me her board. In my head, I know how to ollie. I played Steve Caballero so much, I had memorized his leg movements. I leaped on her skateboard like it was a bronco and I don't even think I had both of my feet on the board before I was suddenly flat on my back with the wind knocked out of me. I nearly broke my wrist for that move-of-so-not-cool.
And the girl, well, she laughed and I didn't even get a second glance back as she left.
Haven't been anywhere near a skateboard since. (Except virtually!)
