The key is to eat shit 50 times beforehand attempting this until you eventually get it right and only post that final time. Its basically the same mechanics as doing a jump on a flat surface, just significantly harder.

This is such a high risk, eat major shit move too.
Catch a foot and rotate awkwardly into concrete while falling face first into concrete.
Miss board and fall into concrete on your shoulder.
Hit board but slip out and crack against metal stairs.
I'm always amazed by people that pull off crazy gaps while skateboarding.

Not a single piece of safety equipment either. Too cool to wear a helmet, let alone knee/elbow pads.

I split a helmet in half once while snowboarding. Went off a jump, landed fine, then caught my heel edge with a ton of speed and it whipped me onto my back and head.
I got up a bit dazed and my friend comes over to check on me and is like holy shit your helmet is cracked in half. The only thing hold it together was the plastic outer cover.
That helmet saved me from major injury or death that day. I can't understand why anyone nowadays rides anything without at least a helmet.

It's cool to be unsafe. You forgo your life to gain rep, duh. Like a G.

Yep, I'd been told that years before the first time I was fitted for one.

I was riding my bike to work one day and slid on some wet leaves. The bike went completely sideways. My head wanged the pavement hard enough to crack my helmet.
It would've been so much worse if I had not worn my helmet.

That is lance mountain. He has been skating 47 years and IS wearing kneepads, the most important piece of gear to fall safely in a pool.

Don't care how cool and great you are, wear a helmet. If not for your own safety, then to be a good role-model for kids who look up to you.

Maybe he hates kids?

Finally an argument I can get behind

Fuck I could watch kids fall off bikes all day. I don't give a shit about your kid.

Worry about yourself dude. Jesus christ lol.

Nah he's fucking right. That's why Tony Hawk insisted on wearing protective gear

How about you worry about yourself instead of what I'm worried about?

He’s wearing knee pads
Merfen t1_ir1o09h wrote
Good call, hard to see them in this 144p gif. Still nothing protecting the most important body part.
NoGodsNoJanitors t1_ir3clzx wrote
Lmao, gonna call hard to see on the knee pads but expect to see his buttplug at that same resolution

It's entirely different from jumping on a flat surface. If you were to actually jump off the board you would just fly away from the wall.
If this is real, he basically just raised his legs closer to his body and lowered them at exactly the right time
candidateforhumanity t1_ir1ivf5 wrote
for every action, en equal and opposite reaction. for him to raise his feet without exerting pressure on the board he would have to be 1. not standing on the board while going up and 2. have his head lower to compensate.
he is jumping on his way up and the curvature of the wall catches up with his trajectory, that's all. you won't magically keep flying away from the wall in a curved path
High_AspectRatio t1_ir1jag6 wrote
If that is your view of what's happening, then you must think it's fake. A human just doesn't have the ability to change their trajectory in mid air.
candidateforhumanity t1_ir2btxv wrote
he doesn't change trajectory. seen from above
TheoreticalJacob t1_ir1i7dt wrote
No it's even worse/better. He has to actually jump a tiny bit since his legs hold the force of him continuing into the wall. So he needs to jump a tiny bit, but not enough to completely overcome his momentum because he can't get it back.
This trick boggles my mind, I think the video has be to be rotated or something.
Edit: I think I can see it a bit better, just really impressive
gopherdagold t1_ir40n17 wrote
You can see his lower body counteract the jump at the same time so the force of the tiny jump is still applied but the average momentum of his body doesn't change. Essentially the board/his feet see a jump, his torso sees a dip, and his center of mass sees no change

Instructions unclear... started eating shit, when do I buy the skateboard?

I love it. "It's just like doing something dead simple, except is incredibly hard."
