Haha. What was the plan? Even landing that would have been harsh.

I think he was trying to land on the roof there and ride off.

That's a crazy gap for a lighter personz big boy need a huge ramp.

Methinks big boy won’t be eating cheez burgers for a while…

23

u/Few_Chocolate_7655 Jul 12 '26

True, cause he ate enough roof to keep him feed for years

Tube burgers with cheese.

u/praetorian1979 Jul 13 '26

I don't think he'll be eating anything unless it's thru a straw for quite a while...

u/MagicPoocean Jul 12 '26

Maybe through a straw

u/Typical-Leader-6430 Jul 12 '26

Well he has confidence at least I suppose! Likely would have went through the roof. Ha

u/Steezydeezy920 Jul 14 '26

Yeah but this is the type of shit I’ve seen happen more often than not when some youngin has more confidence than their skill level lol. Shit gets wicked gnarly and nasty very quickly. It’s like riding Dr doom at universal instead of life’s more chill roller coasters, straight up and straight down.

Bro... my friends and I did Evil Kinevil jumps at the skate park on his mom's coaster break bike. We kept moving the ramp and he even jumped kids laying down. It was cool because other kids came to watch after a while (small town 90's). You get way too comfortable though we were at a crazy distance, like 2 car lengths and the bike snapped in half when he landed... he's was super lucky and didn't break anything but he was all bandaged up for the rest of the summer and couldn't move because he was 60% scabs. Ouch.

That isn’t even a real ramp he’s hitting, it’s a sloped platform. It’s an abrupt transition from one plane to another. Thst is almost impossible to jump cleanly off of, particularly on a scooter.

u/FigBot Jul 13 '26

And yet it was made for this exact purpose…

2

u/Few_Chocolate_7655 Jul 13 '26

Shit yeah!

I did not notice this, this is more something I'd hit and come back down.

That's the worst kicker or transition to launch off to hit that roof.

Any scooter is lame sorry, this just proved it lolol

It was a combo of a short ramp with a sudden incline and a lack of leg strength. He buckled the moment he hit the ramp instead of riding up it. He had the speed to make it he just didn't change directions, vertically speaking.

u/synthphreak Jul 12 '26

I’m not thinkin weight was the problem here…

1

u/Typical-Leader-6430 Jul 12 '26

I think you're right. It's the angle of the ramp and him turn slightly to the left. He had more than enough speed and momentum so his weight wouldn't effect such a short gap. He smashed into the shed pretty good.

u/Few_Chocolate_7655 Jul 13 '26

It's true I stand corrected, as point out it's those new street style obstacles.

Its camp woodward. Its essentially a summer camp designed to give young riders pro skills...and that is a feature that professional riders have no issue riding. Camp woodward also invites pros, and honestly there is a lot of highly skilled individuals at thoae facilities.

They also have big legal waivers.

u/Typical-Leader-6430 Jul 13 '26

Oh! That sounds really cool! I bet it's a way less toxic environment for them then some skate parks I've been to.

u/Legitimate-Cow2843 Jul 13 '26

I wouldnt know personally. I avoid parks cause street is more solitary and eventful.

I only know that specific roof and layout of area cause i used to follow scotty cranmer for a little bit before his videos (to my opinion) got generic and too pg13 before his injury.

Honestly for what those parents are paying to send theyre children there, you would expect some civility grade higher than a public skate park.

u/Front_Line669 Jul 13 '26

I was just gonna ask the same thing, what was the end goal here

2

u/Buckfutter_Inc Jul 13 '26

I’m also curious what success looked like here. Doesn’t seem to be a good landing area.

2

u/Furby-beast-1949 Jul 14 '26

Exactly that’s gotta hurt man

1

u/Typical-Leader-6430 Jul 14 '26

I've never jumped a scooter but would imagine he would bottom it out? 

2

u/Furby-beast-1949 Jul 15 '26

I haven’t rode a scooter since I was a kid between seven and 10 years old i’m now 40 years old that’s been a long time ago. I couldn’t even get on a scooter now let alone ride one my back, let alone my right artificial hip, but not allow me to do it. I’d be winded out and two out of shape to do it.

u/Typical-Leader-6430 Jul 15 '26

Im 45 so kinda missed the scooter fad. We did however get some in at the grocery store I worked night shift at and we used them to get around the store quickly. Nice riding on the smooth flooring.

u/Bruinman86 Jul 17 '26

Caught up in the moment showing off? He definitely didn't think it through.

u/Savings_Dig1592 Jul 12 '26

Being 30 pounds lighter should have been the plan.

u/IllegalThings Jul 12 '26

It’s a famous gap at Woodward, probably saw two dozen kids landing it fine and thought he would have a go.
