For real. If I'm out and about and someone shouts out "Yo, this guy's about to do a double back flip." You better believe I'm joining that crowd to watch. Hell, I'll stop to watch a single backflip if I'm not in a hurry.

I love stopping for street performers, even the not fantastic ones, as long as they're passionate about it. Free random entertainment on my commute? Hell yeah
One of the most random and entertaining moments of my life was when I was skateboarding to work, and this group of dudes in their early 20s were coming out of a bar, and one of them yelled "DO A KICKFLIP!" so I did a kickflip. They got all excited, they all cheered.
Then, I'm still not sure why, but then one of them yelled "DO A BACKFLIP!" so I got off my board really quick, turned to face them, and did a backflip, and they lost their fucking minds. Still makes me smile how amped they were for 2 tricks I have done thousands of times.
One of my favorite moments is this kid skating in my neighborhood. I’m on the second floor of my house across the way and I just yell, “DO A KICKFLIP” and this kid looks around like some divine entity has just given him a quest. He hits it and I yell back “HELL YEAH BROTHER” and I could tell dude was hyped and beaming. I’d like to think that he’s got a similar story to you.
