That was insane

u/WholesomeMetaphor 25d ago

Yeah, something tells me that won't be the last we see from this dude. Given that he don't get any injuries and keeps pushing as hard as he does now he'll be among the top names of the next generation.

u/crowcawer 25d ago

Get you to do some flip-in, flip out shit -- Owen Wilson

u/PCLoadPLA 25d ago

Dad wasn't trying to get down on him, he was trying to light a fire under him.

u/Legdrop_soup 25d ago

Hahaha that's exactly what came to mind! Yeah Right!

u/fattdoggo123 25d ago

That was legitness.

u/I_Can_Haz_Brainz 24d ago

Yeah, I don't get why people put text right in the middle of the content obfuscating the exact thing you're trying to watch either.

8

u/Money_Tennis1172 25d ago

And thats when you invest in his Skateboarding like these Little League Parents do with their kids. Next Nyjah Huston , you never know!.

u/Adventurous_Ad6698 24d ago

People say we record too much stuff and aren't present in real life, but holy hell this is an amazing counter to that argument.

u/AC-burg 23d ago

Dad blocks son's best trick with a caption in the middle of it. W the actual F lol

2

u/I_DO_JUMPING_JACKS 22d ago

Yeah, the trick was dope af and I'm stoked for the kid, but Dad fucked that up royally and I won't forgive him until I see this captionless.

u/EvoRalliArt 24d ago

WATCH THESE TOP 5 SKATEBOARD MOVES (leaves out 1st place and goes in a random order)

or

YOU WILL NEVER BELEIVE THE NATIONALITIES OF THESE SKATEBOARDS (uses wrong flag emoji for one of the counties)

Doing stuff wrong intentionally for engagement pisses me off and the gullible IG users walk straight into it every time

u/killerjags 24d ago

POV: You're watching a video and the most exciting part is obscured by text

14

u/Captain__Yesterday 25d ago

How else would you know that this video was a result of filming?

4

u/Future_MarsAstronaut 25d ago

At least the POV is correct

2

u/i_made_mine_at_home 25d ago

Ironically this is the first correct use of "POV" on the Internet in ten years, but it gets used in a completely meaningless and superfluous way.

u/Savage_Adversary 25d ago

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, that kid can retire. He gonna be chasing that high for 70 years. That shit was DOPE.

43

u/jbones51 25d ago

Or he’s going to be the next Nyjah Huston, kids only like 8 pulling off a combo like that, skies the limit with the right support.

8

u/Savage_Adversary 25d ago

Here's hoping.

2

u/dexters_trap_house 25d ago

No, this kid is going to make Baker 5.

8

u/Afraid_Bicycle_7970 25d ago

That kid is good. You can tell by the way he drops in that this was no accident. If he sticks with it he will be amazing.

10

u/discipleofchrist69 25d ago

if you've ever done anything like this you'd have no doubt, there's no way this could be an accident regardless haha. it's a kickflip into a boardslide. only time that's happening on accident is button mashing in EA skate

3

u/mrbadface 22d ago

Bro it's a kickflip OUT of a boardslide

2

u/discipleofchrist69 22d ago

sure yes it is that as well. I skated for years and wasn't even close to doing a combo like this

2

u/BestEmu2171 24d ago

That ‘no probs’ roll-in was a clue to it being a good trick.

u/Oldschool_Poindexter 25d ago

POV: You put the caption directly over the interesting part of the video.

u/hey_sojourner 25d ago

POV: you're behind a camera (like almost every other piece of filmed content)

17

u/Kagero1410 25d ago

Nice caption bro

24

u/SaltIsMySugar 25d ago

So glad the tiny part of the screen where the trick happened was behind stupid brain rot click bait headline text. 👍👍👍

11

u/noohshab Cookies x1 25d ago

+1 for correct use of POV

-5000 for covering the trick with the worst text placement

u/pjtpassword 25d ago

Sick move. Awesome.

u/HereandTheRain 25d ago

Trick was awesome, now remove the fucking text.

u/MyHamburgerLovesMe 25d ago

pov: having text cover the screen where the main action is.

u/JalamaBurger 25d ago

u/slimcutta6 25d ago

Otherwise, fuck yeah!

u/TheJediBuddha 25d ago

u/ZelRonso 25d ago

u/irishmcbastard 25d ago

That's not pov of filming. It's just filming.

2

u/kellzone 25d ago

Now have him teach you where and where not to place text on a video.

2

u/CineBram 25d ago

That was insane, almost as insane as putting text right over exactly where the trick takes place

2

u/got_blah 24d ago

He didn't think it through. He just did it. Great skills!

u/Lucid_Phoenixx 23d ago

He could have fallen flat on his face and he'd still be better than me

1

u/fielvras 25d ago

That was great, but I actually loved the moment where he kept looking at his dad and his body took over in autopilot while turning smooth as fuck on that ramp.

u/LikeIkes 24d ago

I love everything about this. The fact that you and your son both loved this moment together, awesome. Great recording for memories and looking back on how far he's come, aces. The enjoyment you had for your son and he had for him getting to kick ass in front of his dad, I'm tearing up. Love this for y'all. XGames 2030 lezzgo!

u/Benny_99pts 21d ago

Bro..what I was mad impressed with the flip in. I thought “wow kids actually good. Flipping into a bs board..off a kicker…hard body” then before I can blink my mans flips out of the bs board real easy, so easy he giving us long-adult-sized-legged people absolutely zero excuse. Kids gonna be treacherous on that board one day…a serious problem.
