[Gillerzzzzz]

[0ceanForest]

That looks like sooooo much fun! And dangerous 8)

[mrfrisk007]

epic :) is that in town or what?

[aodhfinn]

very uplifting . great video

[Swiftglitcher28]

yo take a rope, tie it off to the back of the car, (4 by 4 jeep) and have it pull you down the street next time, that is insane

[theoviefan]

who needs a beach when you can beat the shit out of your board on the road

[ButterflyUnKnifeable]

hahaha James rapes chickens ass(compliment)

[rafasc94]

this is what I call, take advantage of something bad, nicely dude

[8DKristen]

did it not mess up your board??

[Squishyharibo]

planning on doing this tomorrow and using the fields around where i live

[TerriAngela290184]

lol cooool i wanna go:P

[oxXROCKXxo]

[AKIDDNAMEDCUDI]

[Aoifemrm]

[2plus2make5]

[surk199]

[zeroluva1992]

i did this it flooded i wanted to skate so i took my skimboard out tried to go down a hill and fell and superman slip down a hill i was walking in the rain with blood running down my arms

[emkayone1984]

By the lack of self-consciousness and mild sneers on those faces, I think we have ourselves pres boys showing off..

[Tomasthesk8dude]

@emkayone1984 Damn, you're good!

[listyspisty]

Makes the prospect of floods a much nicer thought.

[screamingbaby1]

[Zaper692]

[xxbmxx1]

[JoeAndDaBobs]

[celticxxgurl]

where did u download this song? i couldnt find it on itunes =[

[hxcdrums3]

well if this guy was anything decent at skimboarding you would think differently about it...once you start getting into ollies and popping 180's and huge bigspins and some gnarly rails... then its super addicting

[101dirtjump]

[itsBarcode]

cool how its in an urban environment, but you guys really do suck at it

[xIRISHMAN17x]

While having to reply to some spastic below, I was forced to see this horrific video again, seriously, your actually a complete loser, I honestly mean it, this video just sucks so much.

[D4zza]

It looks very silly, yet fun at the same time.

[Tylerboo2007]

not in the military they got beards and long hair

[waaeaa]

IRISH QUEING FOR 7YRS LOSE OUT TO IMMIGRANTS

From Nov 09 to March 2010, out of 19 council houses, allocated by Tralee council 11 went to immigrants. Many Irish people are on the housing waiting list, some waiting for 7yrs, and the houses are going to foreigners.

Kerryman 14/4/10

This at a time when Irish children in care are being moved around in different care homes and B&B's. Some of these kids have been abused and committed suicide - they would greatly benefit from a secure council house

[101dirtjump]

this looks like the shittest "sport" if it is even a sport and your a complete failure at it hahaha

[PixelOwls]

@101dirtjump ha ha common troll harder :D

[skaterbro1996]

@101dirtjump ur a fucking asshole u just said this cause u cant do it its proballly one of the best sports out there u lil fairy y dont u just go and keep ur faggit comments 2 yourself this is actully pretty hard when ur doing it on freaking pavment i pet u u cant 360 shoveit or do like anything thats easy on a fucking skimboard u asshole!

[yozeroz]

@101dirtjump troll alert

[PetapetaStudios]

@101dirtjump dont hate it till you try it so much fun got my friends hooked something to do when we cant surf

[PhilipDemelo]

@101dirtjump look at other videos of skimboarding

[Epurope]

@101dirtjump its meant to be done on the beach not the pavement if thats what you were thinking watch some other videos about it then maybe you can see how fun it might be :/

[skim2livedb]

@101dirtjump id like to see you try it. its a lot harder than it looks. this guy is doing really easy basic riding but watch some of the pros. type in DB skimboarding and watch it. oh and dont talk about stuff you dont know

[xIRISHMAN17x]

[PixelOwls]

@xIRISHMAN17x lol troll harder ^_^

[giddyLordess]

@xIRISHMAN17x actually it was a very serious time.

My great Aunt's house was filled with water from the floods and shes 90.

And it was very dangerous then, familys had to move out of their homes.

:(

So it hurts peoples feelings when u say that.

Do u live in Ireland?

[xIRISHMAN17x]

@giddyLordess Shut the fuck up you fucking sap. I dont give a FUCK about your wrinkly old Aunt, and I dont give a FUCK about your "feelings". Fagott.

[giddyLordess]

@xIRISHMAN17x Call me what u want, im trying to say that these floods are serious.

People can get hurt >.>

*sigh* your so immature :D

[DylanBlueEagle]

[a7xANesecaryEvil]

[GooogleGirl]

[fuxkyou1]

aaaaahahahahaa brilliant baaah :L

[JenAlTheGudNmesRGone]

What a legend!!

[Badoinkkk]

may i ask why you mare wearing a wetsuit on the road in flood water.. i dont think its deep enough for swimming as crazy as it sounds.... your friends seem fairly content to get their clothes a little wet i suppose i wouldn't mind either but i dunno thats just my ignorant opinion

[SchnellenMuter]

called takin the piss bud

[PixelOwls]

Pretty much as Schnellen Muter said.

I was like "If im going skimboarding, fuck it im wearing a wetsuit"

Got weird looks from UCC college students for some reason on way home...

[kapidletap]

[marcinbogowski]

[vitaminkane]

This is so obviously fake

[PixelOwls]

obviously! I mean that water is totally CGI and I mean common thats totally green screen and stuff, like why would someone go through the bother of going out and doing it in floods when they can spend of a couple of thousands and do hours of filming to fake it!

[GTISilverBullet]

No i think he ment tat your in Tipperary or cavan and you just left the tap running on your street, theres no way anyone from cork could make the best of a bad situation he's obviously a very astute man

[flamingolla]

@pixelOwls - speak english boyo!
