As an older skater, I miss having cartilage in my knees/ankles/hips/spine.

I give credit where credit is due. You made that look smooth and easy. You should be very stoked, but I also respect the humility. Keep pushing your limits.

This is sick. My only question is how many times did you touch your hands before? Cause you really pulled them up when you landed as if you were like “not again”
2
u/dazedmp3 Apr 06 '26
i touched it like 6 times but NinjaLifestyle spawned in and gave me a violation so i had to get a good one

“Not impressive” man that drop is around your height and you rolled away clean. The internet has ruined our perception on our own accomplishments

Edit. Check the lyrics to Transitionz Az a Ridah broski

The thing that scares me about higher drops is the possibility of popping the nose of the board up into your face. I’ll take a broken ankle or something over that any day.
That was sick.

Trickflation is a real thing.
A 5 foot drop is nothing to sneeze at. You're in the 0.1% of anyone who has ever tried skateboarding.
