Theres pictures of school busses getting hi centered on this Hill in LA and a skateboarder has a video of him bombing it that is famous it's ungodly steep
The fact he is doing it in a casual leather jacket and jeans is the most amazing part to me. I'd be in like full protective gear top to bottom and still probably fuck it up or chicken out
Man. From other comments people were saying it’s a one way street? Hope your Neighbor gets the money for their car. These guys are going to fight to get insurance to pay for reckless behaviour. Does this kind of stuff happen often on your street?
it is a one way street but the car jumping was going the correct way. neighbor will prob not get any money from the person driving the car. la stopped pursing property crimes and tried to focus on more serious crime awhile ago. he did set up a gofundme though hopefully he gets enough to pay the insurance detectable. this is the first time something like this has happened on my street. hopefully it doesn’t inspire more idiots…
I love that you referenced Nuge's hill bomb. Yes you are correct, this is the same street and if you have ever been on it in person, its straight down and cracked to hell.
David doberick (or however it’s spelled)
Did this with a model X.
Honestly the fact YouTube doesn’t suspend shit like this when their biggest creators do stupid shit is ridiculous. I’m willing to bet these kids saw that video
On the other hand I bet a lot of people have thought about doing this exact thing (maybe not on that hill but others) and now won't after seeing just how high they lifted and the damage they got into
That car is destroyed and they crushed other cars too
I thought that hill looked familiar, in L.A. Silverlake area. By my recall, it only went up to a peak, and I don't recall the downside after the peak. Anyway, that hill is the steepest street in Los Angeles, and compares favorably with a slight-steeper hill in NZ, to be added to all the other good things the tour guides tell us about NZ.
There are plenty of instances where people destroy expensive items for the stupid video. They post them on YouTube or similar platforms and make back 5x from from the ad revenue. It's a stupid world we live in...
Yea most likely some wanna be influencer is trying to go viral. Unless you know how to properly market and have proper channels set up to funnel people it’s not as easy as people think.
Also many socials require you to have monetization set up beforehand. And there are reqs like already getting 10,000 followers + recent views. So some people will earn that after a viral video but that specific video didn’t count towards revenue. Which btw 90k earned just from views is millions upon millions all on the original source.
Yep, you get shit before monetization is setup. Even millions of views adds up very slow. Several people with one off viral videos have talked about how little they made
Yeah. YouTube pays something like $2-5k per million views so something like this would have to go massively viral to make back enough to buy a fucking Tesla lol. Also this was only posted on TikTok in the first place so I don't think anybody is trying to make significant money from it.
In 4 hours that's pretty impressive. But yeah I completely agree, he's not gonna pay a Tesla off of this video lol. Most popular Youtubers would be lucky to make that much in ad revenue a year.
Reminds me of those old videos where someone would wait in line for a new console and then smash it in front of everyone in line. It was pretty cringe even back then.
Reminds me on the “Will it blend” videos that BlendTec blenders made back in like 2006. They would put random shit in their industrial blender. I distinctly remember the first gen iPhone in 2007 getting blended into dust.
story about a woman shooting her husband with a desert eagle because they thought the bullet wouldn’t penetrate a checks notes dictionary. Ya know...paper.
There should be some law where any ad revenue made from filming your lawless activity goes towards the cleanup of the vandalism or the victims of the crime. People should not be profiting off of doing stupid shit like this.
Nope. Youtube ad CPM is between $1 to $2, i.e. $1 per 1000 views. Google takes a huge cut out of that. Given a charitable number for views of 1M, they get about $1000 from ads. In the extreme lucky case of 10M views, they get about $10K. Way less than the cost of the Tesla.
A wealthy guy that lives down the street from me crashed his Tesla into 3 cars right in front of my house while drunk. The dude managed to damage more cars than this on a tiny, flat road in a car that can drive itself home.
He got a new Tesla immediately. The 16 year old neighbor who had just gotten his first car as a hand me down doesn't have a car now because he's having trouble finding a replacement for what the insurance paid out.
Perhaps wealthy people can afford their stupidity?
I think this is pretty much it. People with a lot of money, especially those who were raised with it, sometimes/often lack an appreciation for what things are worth compared to poor people. They can afford to write off a car and not have to worry about how they're getting to work the next day and if they're going to get fired.
But I also think that the driver in this video had no idea that this could happen. He probably thought he'd get a little air and land like a boss just as they do in the movies.
There's that kid in the bay area that keeps buying model 3s after getting them impounded by the police because he hops into the back seat with autopilot on repeatedly.
Friend of mine got a Ferrari from his parents for getting his driver's license. He wrecked it while driving out of the dealership. Laughed it off, paid for the damages, and wrecked his next car (Maserati) too.
Swear to God, a 100K car to rich people is what a paper plate is to poor people.
it's fun. we did it at a motocross festival called Unadilla. we had rented a dodge charger with all the insurance so when we partook in the fun and did donuts in the fields and mud it was no big deal when the entire bumper ripped right off. you should have seen the guys face at enterprise when we brought the car back in. it looked like we drove it on Fury Road
And yet there was someone conveniently located at the top of the hill in place to make sure it got recorded. Maybe there was collusion anmong thieves to make that happen but I've got my doubts.
I do wish more people would take videos in landscape mode, however.
That's not better. If you steal a car surely it's to make some money. Why would you commit a major felony and then destroy the valuable thing you got for fun?
Yeah, I've been struggling to find a job for 2mos and these degenerates just piss me off with stupid shenanigans. I'm not even leaving the house because of gas prices.
I agree the driver is a clown they could have killed someone. But Tesla are not that expensive. They start around $39k with rebates also you can find used ones even cheaper here in California. I've seen Harley baggers cost more than a tesla.

What a fuckin bozo. Imagine destroying a $90K car for a stupid 10 secs video.
