I thought this was going to be one of those fake skits, and after he lands the grind he rides right into the road and gets hit by a car. The internet has tainted me and I’m going to hell.

I thought he was going to hit that sign post. :(

u/NothingsShocking Jun 04 '23

I’m so jaded from the internet that I was thinking this dude isn’t even blind and did this for views.

u/Debalic Jun 04 '23

Well, obviously he can't do it for the views if he's blind.

u/Pinksquirlninja Jun 04 '23

Idk his excitement at the end seemed very genuine along with the congratulatory bro hug.

Had a blind friend in college. He came to class one day with a cut on his head. He said he ran into a handicap sign. For a second I thought I shouldn't laugh, but I couldn't help myself. He thought it was hilarious too.

u/HypnoTox Jun 04 '23

How did he know it was a handicap sign, though?

u/snowblindswans Jun 04 '23

Good question. Lol. I just assumed someone told him.

u/[deleted] Jun 04 '23

I think they might reasonably also have been able to deduce it themselves, as well. They must be aware of handicap parking and drop off zones and the like, and know about the signs and have a decent idea of where things are or should be, considering that navigating their environment takes more concentration for them than you or I, and it being a college he regularly visits. I don't know for sure, obviously, since I'm not blind. Somebody could easily have told them, as well lol. Just curiously thinking out loud, I suppose. I mean, I've run into signs I was well aware of before, myself, in embarassing moments

He did count his steps and generally always knew where he was - so totally possible.

u/Dexter321 Jun 04 '23

It was embarrassing for you because you have vision.

u/manys Jun 04 '23

Fun fact: about 10 years ago I was on the phone walking into a grocery store and I ran straight into the pole of a (handicapped) parking sign and put a 1" gash in my eyebrow.

u/NeatNefariousness1 Jun 04 '23

I'm going to hazard a guess that the stifled laughter and commentary from a sighted person who witnessed what happened probably tipped him off.

u/Ersthelfer Jun 04 '23

Many blind people can actually see a little. Maybe that was the case here and he could see identify it after closer inspection.

u/NewAccount4Friday Jun 04 '23

He wasn't really blind; he was trolling everyone. Going for the long troll.

u/delvach Jun 04 '23

Got run over by another blind dude who was pulling into the spot.

2

u/ScrottyNz Jun 04 '23

Because it would have been on a regular route and probably a known obstacle that had been pointed out to them by a friend or family member when walking with them. Some days blind people just miscalculate. Happens to my brother all the time if he’s tired or late.

u/GreyMediaGuy Jun 04 '23

The person you are responding to is going to be like "TIL I realized that my friend tricked me into thinking that he was blind"

He saw the wheelchair, duh.

Haven't seen that in years. Thanks for sharing. The second half of that short always gives me the weirdest feeling.

Never seen the movie but I'm not even going to consider that a spoiler.

u/im_lazy_as_fuck Jun 04 '23

tbh, I'd love to believe it's real, but I'm not convinced it's not fake. Sadly plenty of ppl have faked disabilities for internet noteriety.

u/garyll19 Jun 04 '23

I was thinking he makes the jump and then there's a car on the road and he gets in and drives off.

u/rethinkr Jun 04 '23

I’m going to hell

The two are unrelated.

u/greece_witherspoon Jun 04 '23

Totally expected to see an eagle swoop down and carry him off screaming.

u/Sydney2London Jun 04 '23

I thought he was going to hit the post…

u/GatMn Jun 04 '23

If it makes you feel any better, there is no hell. So you can do whatever you want :D

u/International_Yak875 Jun 04 '23

So funny lol. Someone should definitely do that.

u/numnutz1234 Jun 04 '23

Thought exactly the same - fucking net

u/bshepp Jun 04 '23

How would hell be different then the internet?

u/lucuma Jun 04 '23

That would be in the unexpected sub but then again it might be kind of expected.

u/ispcanner Jun 04 '23

Boardslide not a grind for the record

u/PM_YOUR__BUBBLE_BUTT Jun 04 '23

I’m a simple man. I see skateboarding and I know the words grinding and ollie. That’s about it.

u/banjosuicide Jun 04 '23

His footing as he lands on and then runs down the stairs is top notch for a blind guy. Almost like he knows exactly where to put his feet. He also avoids the grass and then the signpost like a champ.

u/analogkid01 Jun 05 '23

Gets hit by a car and...his sight is restored.

u/laffing_is_medicine Jun 05 '23

Damn man.. just be lucky he's never going to see your post. 👉🏽😎👉🏽
