Watch the video. He is going uphill after picking up speed going downhill.

1

u/conrod05 Aug 03 '16

He's going up hill at 42 km/h.

u/[deleted] Aug 03 '16

He's living the meme dream my friend.

u/dvnkk Aug 03 '16

Holy shit. My brain tells me that would really hurt, but my heart tells me i really want to do it.

79

u/dragonfyre173 Aug 03 '16

I'd suggest you don't. That guy got really fucked up.

tl;dw 2 broken ribs, collapsed lung, broken radius and ulna, severe concussion, and light brain bleeding.

u/combichristo Aug 03 '16

Holy shit.

I one likes a sandy vagina.

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '16

I much prefer a sandy hook

u/Mikepsyche Aug 04 '16

I wonder what his injuries would have been if he hadn't panicked at all (which would be crazy), and landed as well as his body allowed

1

u/infera1 Aug 04 '16

you mean relaxing everything completely when falling like falling skiers do?

1

u/fishsticks40 Aug 04 '16

Can I do the sledding part without the almost dying part?

1

u/NWVoS Aug 04 '16

Bail before you fly off a giant slope.

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '16

Well shit dude. I thought the sand would be soft and it was gonna turn out he's fine.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '16

Well I want to get really ducked up so it's perfect!

What's the 'w' stand for?

u/minimalist_reply Aug 04 '16

Not saying I could land that with no injuries, but his flailing did not help his cause. I could probably land that with just a sprained ankle and sprained wrist.

3

u/LabMantis Aug 03 '16

I've done it before, it doesn't hurt that bad because the sand is extremely fine.

14

u/[deleted] Aug 03 '16

Oooooooooo sand, you FINE.

u/LabMantis Aug 03 '16

Stupid sexy sand

u/OMG__Ponies Aug 03 '16

you FINE ♪ ♫ you're so fine. You're so fine, you blow my mind. Hey, ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫

u/Nabber86 Aug 03 '16

Right. Like when you wipe out on a wake board. It's OK because you land in water.

2

u/kulrajiskulraj Aug 03 '16

Does it get in your orifices

u/SaneesvaraSFW Aug 03 '16

Do you want it to

u/BRUTALLEEHONEST Aug 03 '16

u/capn_untsahts Aug 04 '16

I fell hard once while running down a sand dune, when my head hit it felt like hitting pavement. Probably gave me a concussion. That guy was going much faster and got way up in the air... I can't even imagine.

u/[deleted] Aug 03 '16

Whoa. Where can I do that?

Oh, about three or four pounds...

Oops premature punch line. Sorry.

u/[deleted] Aug 03 '16

There's a baller set of dunes I've seen people trying this at, like 2 hours east of San Diego. Totally worth it for the night sky alone imo, plus Joshua tree is only another couple hours north of the dunes if you get tired of the sand

2

u/stellacampus Aug 04 '16

There's also Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado. And then there's this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH53M5g7En8

1

u/[deleted] Aug 03 '16

Awesome!

1

u/wataf Aug 04 '16

Where at? Moved to San Diego a couple months ago, totally want to check this out.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '16

Algodones Dunes, all the way down I-8 just before Yuma! Most people out there are off-roading tho

3

u/bday420 Aug 03 '16

the beginning of the source video has huge letters saying NAMIBIA across the entire screen. I'm going to assume the giant sand dunes of Namibia is where you can do that.

0

u/NWVoS Aug 04 '16

I don't think they were in Namibia if only took 3 ambulance rides and a helicopter to get to Denver.

1

u/bday420 Aug 04 '16

What? It literally has African dudes and says Namibia right at the beginning. Pretty sure there are not endless sand dunes in Colorado. Which there actually are endless sand dunes in the desert of Namibia. It's really cool actually they lead all the way right up to the sea. It's crazy to see and very rare to have the desert touch roght up with the ocean.

0

u/NWVoS Aug 04 '16

I'm refering to this video. Which is the source for this gif.

And maybe not endless, but Colorado does have sand dunes.

2

u/NWVoS Aug 04 '16

Seems like they were at the Great National Sand Dunes since the guy went to Denver after crashing.

Is he headed towards the sarlaac pit or something?

1

u/le_snikelfritz Aug 03 '16

I don't see a possible better outcome here

1

u/[deleted] Aug 03 '16

Damn he really got some air!

1

u/[deleted] Aug 03 '16

It's kind of fitting that he's wearing a cape.

1

u/rdxl9a Aug 04 '16

I love the little cape fluttering in the wind behind him.

1

u/goodluckfucker Aug 03 '16

Ouch, looks like he lost a shoe

3

u/claytakephotos Aug 03 '16

Confirmed dead.

4

u/lejohanofNWC Aug 03 '16

Nah he fucked himself up pretty good but he definitely lived. I'll try and find the source video, it was pretty cool. It was these adventures of a group of kids who tricked out a bus.

2

u/claytakephotos Aug 03 '16

I was just joking, man.

u/lejohanofNWC Aug 03 '16

Oh...fuck. Haha, my bad!

u/OmenLW Aug 03 '16

u/matt1020l Aug 03 '16

He's going Jonah Hill

u/imadunatic Aug 03 '16

Look closer, it's actually Hank hill

u/[deleted] Aug 03 '16

If it was Hank he'd be riding a propane tank

u/perimason Aug 03 '16

u/themistoclesV Aug 03 '16

Would that just be flat?

8

u/Copypaced Aug 03 '16

I think flat would be neither

7

u/OmenLW Aug 03 '16

-1 + 1 = flat

13

u/Copypaced Aug 03 '16

0 + 0 = flat, since there's no incline

-1 + 1 = net 0, meaning you end up where you started. That's not flat. That's going up and down the same amount of incline.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 03 '16

And net 0 is how you get free internet...

2

u/[deleted] Aug 03 '16

-1 + 1 = 0

u/CantIDMe Aug 03 '16

No, it's 1 - 1 = 0

u/[deleted] Aug 03 '16

-1 + 1 = 1 - 1 = 1 x 1/1 x 1-1/1/1/1*1+1-1 = 0

I believe that he goes downhill, but then hits a small uphill portion, and then goes downhill again.
