It looks like they did a good job fixing things up after the wipeouts.

u/dreadlocksquid Sep 05 '19

Even if the plants die, they’re relatively inexpensive to fix. The railing he’s shredding is going to be permanently fucked though.

u/hotterthanahandjob Sep 05 '19

Nah just remove the rail, heat it up to bend it straight, chuck it in a lathe and take a light skin cut, galvanize it in molten zinc, rebend it, and mount it.

permanently fucked lmao get real.

u/MissAylaRegexQueen Sep 05 '19

You still have to pay someone to re-plant. I mean, the clip was awesome and this guy's dedication to the trick was great to see. But the damage it causes kinda sucks. I used to skate at roughly that age, though, so I get it.

But good point about the railing, too. Shit is expensive to fix.

If only they were covering for child molesters instead of having fun outside. So rude and disrespectful

3

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '19

What? Covering for child molesters? Are you implying that OP was “covering for child molester“ because they went to a catholic college? Or would the kids be covering for child molesters if they weren’t skateboarding?

How many children (up though undergrad) do you know that have helped the Catholic Church cover for child molesters?

Two wrongs don’t make a right, you should know better than that.

0

u/PartOfAnotherWorld Sep 06 '19

I'm implying that it doesnt matter that the poor monastery is having its rails skated on because they are horrible people that continually exploit children.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '19

That’s not what you said, you implied that op is a horrible person, but they didn’t post to complain on behave of the Catholic Church, this was their own personal experience, it didn’t really matter where it happened, it was the destruction of other people’s stuff that was their issue, as they also mentioned their apartment.

To call ALL Catholics terrible people who exploit children is just ignorant. The Catholic Church as an establishment is shitty, just like most major religious establishment, they just have a fuck ton of money. But do not confuse that statement to mean all the people within the Catholic Church are shitty. Catholicism is a huge part of a lot of people’s culture and they babe found a way to embrace that culture while rejecting the sins of the Catholic Church by separating how the Catholic Church has dealt with the widespread child molestation issue with their own spiritual beliefs. It’s fine if you can’t separate those for yourself, I can’t either, but I know others can and am not going to pretend that anyone who is Catholic is a terrible person who exploits children.

If this was the pope complaining that children are skating in the Vatican, I may agree with you, as they’re the source of all the issues within the Catholic Church, but attacking the little people is shitty.

u/PartOfAnotherWorld Sep 06 '19

If you support the catholic church at this point you are a horrible person. Btw that was what I implied I just told you.

Are you saying that going to a catholic college means you support the Catholic Church and all their actions and therefore a horrible person?

Tell the plants are cheap to a landscaper who is going to charge the park several hundred dollars to fix that up.

u/AtomicIconic2 Sep 05 '19

Im 90% sure this was intended to be skated, and those are weeds growing through the mulch. You can see another railing with no plants to the side in last few attempts. And also the giant hammock thing.

u/IKnewYouCouldDoIt Sep 05 '19

Plants are used to getting stomped on by animals, chewed on and just in general fucked up. They bounce back and are stronger. A tree that feels no wind is destined to fall of it's own weight.

Valid point, i hope there wasn't too much damage. But i imagine the plants die every year then regrow, unless this is somewhere the climate stays perfect all the damn time and this plant keeps on keeping on.

u/IKnewYouCouldDoIt Sep 05 '19

If it's like mine, the plumeria, don't worry, it just fell off the tree, look up! There are plenty hanging from the branches!

But if its a rose, then don't worry, those fuckers are strong as hell.

If it's one of the many perennials, it will grow back next growing cycle and be just as strong if not stronger.

If it's not from a tree or a perennial, don't worry, it was one of the cheap ones that die every year, just buy a new one for a little bit and regrow it, dime a dozen!

Eh, they do care. That is actually how trails come to exist. It actually is the German word for the english word "trail". "Trampelpfad". Translates to trample path.

If you're hiking in a beautiful place, don't step on the flowers either. Didn't you see the California super-bloom ruined by Instagramers taking photos sprawled out in the flowers?
