[StringsBleedSound]

[jackntheboks]

longboarding is so stupid. I wish I could run them all over and get away with it. if I could, I would.

[alteredgrind]

@jackntheboks People who upload shitty acoustic videos are so stupid. I wish I could run them all over and get away with it. If I could, I would.

[jackntheboks]

@alteredgrind lol chill out dude. its the internet, i was messing around.

[ballietbran]

[LPdannyLP]

[GreatFuckingBeast]

My friend got hit by a car going 30 MPH cause he went into the middle of the street and he legally blind luckly he's built like a tank so he was fine but he got a concussion when you shred you have to shred with a helmet

[wadeownz]

[wadeownz]

[evizzy1]

Longboarding= THE BOMB!

[boarderlax1222]

[eshman00]

[DRDillonReed]

[D2Synua]

[SnoMan1818]

[rhombai]

I recently fractured my skull longboarding because I was riding a bustin maestro those boards suck

[LiveOriginal]

Did they ended up having to cut his leather?

You know how the paramedics are.

[spark6875]

Ahhhh he's fine me and my cousin did that same shit without helmets

[SteezMonsta2]

silver fish!

[LadyxTsunade]

[MrButtersbutter]

[Ingratzer]

Longboarding should be illegal.

[gdmarcoo]

[ladina98]

the stranger...ajajaj...

[sk8RAS]

that's why they make back pads and a pad that covers your entire fanny and lower back, $78 bucks at SK8 Kings bro, would have been worth every penny.

[reflectwhatyouare689]

whats the song at the end???

[mizfits666]

@reflectwhatyouare689 Down by 311

[timmonsisbest]

Do you still skate?

[JamesCasey]

@timmonsisbest He still skates; been downhilling a few times, but not at all recently. He wants to start doing it again though.

[Andythefunkman]

good finish

[thooty3]

so good to see people using their head, you wore safety gear, and that's great. too bad it doesn't stop facturing :( i've seen those people who slipped over the cocrete and fets their skin ripped off :S

[asianoutcast87]

Not to hate or anything, but next time, see where the person in front is going and follow that same line. If the person is going too slow, give a small push. Never attempt to pass unless the person in front knows, or else something like this happens.

[rokkr9]

lol try that hill on a z-flex

[SweetyLoveHim]

im a skater i broke my ankle yesterday

[rockinfaceplant0000]

he couldnt have been more of a ferry thats what happens when a little bitch tries a mans sport

[Yotes4Life]

When the music came on again at 1:29 I thought it was someone's ring tone haha.

[miked1997]

just that sream! damn

[777jordan]

lol @ the creeper!

[wowitsfrostbite]

nice video taping for riding a board

[tylerandjake12345678]

thats shitty

[WeenoSpamoni1]

Smart longboarders don't get that close to each other while bombing. That's just asking for a nasty nasty fall

[Stricky12]

@WeenoSpamoni1 its called bump drafting, its done all the time

[MrSmok3Sum]

lol wen he got hit it sounded hella funny

[sethmeffinlytle]

well his dumbass doesnt know how to get out the way :P

[AndreaJMo]

Should have given more space in between each other for bombing hills.

I hope your buddy is okay... Keep tearing up those hills though - Just be careful!

[paintballr217]

hey camera man r u retarded?

[crazyj3uk]

@paintballr217 what it wasnt the camra mans fault

[paintballr217]

@crazyj3uk what i mean is he should have given him more space when bombing hils

[AndreaJMo]

Hope your feeling better bro!

[Tapicero111]

next time instead of bombing a hill buy urself a revolver put a bullet in it, spin it, put it to your head and pull the trigger..its a hell of a rush

[WalkThePath87]

@Tapicero111 well that's a bit negative

[HOFFMIER52]

i want to see the x-ray

[ZakSaysRawr]

omg. this almost makes me not want to go downhill D:

[MrCanniccioni]

man that sucks! Crazy slope too

[blakedbs102]

is that bofax? and did they cut ur leathers? that would suck

[20AnThOnY02]

can he walk?

[JamesCasey]

@20AnThOnY02 yup. hes totally normal. Some titanium rods and hes good to go. Some excellent doctors as Oakland Children's Hospital in California.

[vaporboards1]

you know what the worst thing about longboarding is that you can fuck up any where i crashed and cracked my teeth just riding down a small hill

[alxtourv]

my brother fell going 50 mph today, was speed tracking him in a car, he got speed wobbles flew off hit the tar flew 6 feet in the air and his shoes popped off and he landed in a creek on the side of the road, he ripped his pants IN HALF, walked away with cut elbows and side, and thats it

[babd4]

@alxtourv do you want a medal?

[alxtourv]

@babd4 kind of

[cooliouno1233]

cool fucking story bro how long did it take u to write tht?

[kickbirdman]

@cooliouno1233 mate shut the fuck up

he was just stating something and you have to go all macho and start a fight with some guy you dont even know over youtube??

[CharlieJulietEcho]

Well I hope he's all right. Looks like he was in a bit of pain but the EMT's loaded him up correctly so I'd assume he's not a paraplegic now lol.

[Jake13Ryan]

god i fell and wus screwed up prtty bad now i feal lucky that was crzy

[TrueDemonGlory]

i like how the ambulance lady just hacks up lung butter and wipes it off on that fools shoulder

[windowwasher1994]

is that a loaded vanguard? if so, then im not even surprised he fell.

[FortunexenutroF]

Vanguard? That's not even close to a Vanguard. Doesn't look remotely like one.

[windowwasher1994]

ok. just a question.u didnt need to be a dick.

[Theperiperi132]

if u downhill on a vanguard thats true its not designed for it

[wasssabio]

i remember when i got wobbles down a mountain, fell off and just my luck, hits a car haha... broken right kneecap and both arms

[pdubs926]

man that sucks i hope i never knock on wood get hurt this bad i mean its a dangerouse sport but this has to be one of the worst accidents ive ssen good luck brudda and remember the only thing you can do is just not be affraied to get back on teh board

[sm00thie0]

[Alexdowling]

[TheMarki012]

He deserved it for wearing a leather jumpsuit.

[Stricky12]

damn thats shitty, the other day me and a buddy were shredding and he fell and snapped his collar bone, he also had to be rushed in an ambulance to the nearest hospital.. his last words b4 he got into the ambulance, "good shred dude" -- Keep shreddin'

[HBMAN1995]

@Stricky12

Dude, I know you posted this 8 months ago, but this was the first thing I saw on this video.... I snapped my collarbone on my longboard with my friend like a week ago...

[Saplayzing]

@HBMAN1995 Awww man i feel your pain bro,bout 3 weeks ago i was bombing a hill at 35 when a car got in the way i lost balance and now i have a broken collar bone haha

[mmafightertr]

@Stricky12 i know how your friend feels i fractured mine a month into summer and no longboarding till middle of augest :P

[xxfitzyxx20]

@Stricky12 damn dude i was on my way to skate a reservation park when car came flying by so i went into the grass median to avoid it hit a ditch in the grass got shot of my board and broke my collarbone im currently living in my living room chair...sucks

[neddyt15]

@Stricky12 Yea that never happend

[FuglyGummiBear]

@Stricky12 whatta legend

[sk8tagpb]

@Stricky12 there was no need to take him on an ambulance for his collar bone thats a wast of 1000 dollars to go on the ambulance

[Stricky12]

@sk8tagpb i know, i was in the car ready to drive him when the ambulance showed up, i guess one of the by-standers called : /

[samthemanrox]

@Stricky12 i fractured my skull and had a brain bleed last summer. cuz i wasnt wearing a helmet

[MrButtersbutter]

@Stricky12 is he alive?

[weimer495]

how do you stop one one of thoes

[1DjiZay1]

you powerslide or you can put your foot on the ground to like skiing and slow yourself to a stop.

And too bad for your friend there. He's pretty chill about it though

[RyPhOnE44]

Haha this guy got his shit jacked up!!! Man that was funny.......the creeper......... LOL!!! :)

[Timmy4pawz]

The FA'er should use the back of his hands when feelings for lumps/pains from the person...

[PosidenProductions]

At least he's not fucking retarded and had leathers, gloves and a lid on.

Sucks man.

Gofast.

[RollinGolden]

Octavian300 dude... Who you talking too? You gotta chill and go outside man.

[EOSFiveMonkeys]

lol late christmas present

[TheMusicd00d]

Merry christmas gabe! Merry christmas.

....LOL

[diegonacho30]

It's weird I've bin longboarding for 2 months and I do a bunch of curves going down hills bending down and even sitting down on the board in motion with out falling off... I only had my first crash going down pretty big hills too fast... The board started shaking like shit and started loosing controll... Then I get something stuck in my wheels and it stops and I'm still going... I go in the air like 20 mph and slam into a tree then falling a pile of leaves... Fun...

[s9lngbord]

Several people knocked this guy because of his suit. That's what pros wear. Saves your skin. And he was also wearing a helmet.

What he really needed was a spine protector. Suits ain't built to protect against back impacts.

[micdmechanic2010]

happy your not paralized??

[waveboarder221]

dude...u got fucked

[omokati]

damn that is scary

[Papreeflorida]

your a fucking moron.

[octavian300]

wow your dumb downhillers wear them to protect from road rash when they crash you idiot.

[octavian300]

like i said. its to protect them from road rash. wich it did. a leather suit cant protect you from broken bones. it saves you from lots of hurt though belive me.

[octavian300]

take a look at some real down hill videos, whenever they crash they usually slide around. and they get up. thats because of the suits. without them they would be hurting.

[octavian300]

this isnt even a good downhill video. your obviously an ignorant moron. would you rather get a shitload of roadrash falling of your board and sliding at 40 miles an hour, or would you rather not have anything happen to you at all if you had a suit? i bet your dumbass will say youd choose road rash. downhill videos are sick i suggest you watch some. suits definantly dont suck, nor are they lame. your probably the only one who disagrees. so i'd just shush.

[octavian300]

i said they protect against roadrash AKA your skin being scraped off your body by the pavement. i never said it protected against broken bones. Nope i dont wear one i dont even downhill LOL i just cruise,trick etc. you sound like a 10 year old, your logic is flawed. I'm not dumb, and i dont even know this guy. So he obviously can't be my boyfriend.

[octavian300]

I was perfectly clear lmfao. i like downhill yes its fun to watch, but i dont downhill myself. i dont even have a down hill board. i have 2 carving boards. i don't know the kid he lives nowere near me. and im nowere near his age.

[octavian300]

wow your really dumb. I can easily tell that hes way older than me. i dont know his age. I'm "tripping" because ignorant twats like you rag on stuff when you know nothing about it.

[octavian300]

wtf. i was watching the video you expect me not to look at him? and im not brittish im american live in CA twat is a very universal insult word, noone says it though.

[octavian300]

I'm done talking to you. your too dumb to understand ANYTHING btw i don't know how old you are, but if your over 10 years old I suggest you GROW THE FUCK UP.

[octavian300]

what the fuck? i never said anything about legalities at all. i said if your age is over 10 then you should grow up. if your age is 10 or under i wouldnt expect any different from such a little kid.

[Charlesde1]

nice !...but its a little bit dangerous :P:P !

[NicKisDeadly]

that what you get for wearing that suit

[applejoosproductions]

that suit saves your skin man, bail out at 40+ and youll be glad your wearin leather o_o

[PS3N]

hahha love the comment he makes when he talks in the phone xD just lying there, can't move and saying "Yeah, it's a great hill! Crazy though."

[jibbsnow420]

damn dude im sitting at home as i write this with a fractured t5 in my spine because of longboarding lol. ill recover tho. but i drove to the hospital

[Curtisandjakefile]

That hill looks fun, but i would have started way lower.

[deadkennedys909]

thats why we go faster then you (:

btw hes fully recovered and skating

[Curtisandjakefile]

i know, but i would have to check out the hill before going fromthe top.

[AntieFlag]

shut dude! This scares the crap outta me now......sorta scares me to longboard HA JK! i dont speed BOARD! I DANCE! teehee

But seriously? thats really scary! GET WELL SOON! that sucks.............GABE!

[GTBassett]

Hey everybody that's me in the vid. I'd just like to say that after two spinal surgeries and a shitload of painkillers plus a year and 2 months off my board, I'm finally back.

[USMC77777]

[willwoo89]
