      This is the first time I’ve encountered something like this. Usually picture hosting sites don’t have limits on the number of views.

    When I was nineteen, a friend was driving us home on LSD (please don’t do this). He said that was like a game. The third person in the vehicle said that didn’t make him any more confident. We got home safe, somehow. Lucas, if you’re reading this, good job. Also, fuck you for driving while we were on drugs.

      My mom swears that she was driving home one night with her cousin in the 70s and their car started floating 6+ feet off of the ground. She also swears it wasn’t at all drug-related. I think my mom has forgotten just how many drugs they were doing in the 70s.

      When I was in high school, first time I ever got drunk at a party, I drove home afterwards and just lived 2 blocks away in a small town. I kept saying to myself “no wonder this is illegal” the 5 minutes it took to get home and never drove drunk again. The drunk effect in GTA4 is pretty spot on compared to that real life experience.

          I guarantee you’re a lot further away from those rocks than he is while you’re sitting in your lazy boy recliner

            Most snowboarders are drunk on mulled wine so yeah, going in a straight line is beyond them but sober than up and they would go as close to the rock as this guy. I’m sure he can do some interesting things but going straight on a flat tracks is not one of them.

                It’s probably a matter of personal opinion but I definitely boarded on steeper tracks with more turns.

      Can’t tell if you’re joking…literally the entire run is a trick. Let’s see you make a single one of those jumps.

        If you look closely the track is designed so that the board jumps by itself. You just have to bend your knees a bit and the gravity does the rest. It’s not even steep so you’re not going too fast. Maybe it’s where kids practice? That would make sense.

          “If you look closely” dude, did you actually watch the video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hXi9_RTN4o

          How about you watch the full thing, see the World Cup and Olympic champion snowboarder get injured on the track, and then maybe go actually step into some bindings and then come back and say there aren’t any tricks here. He literally does a fucking wall ride. You’re batshit insane.

          it’s not even steep

          You’re a moron. Now I’m absolutely positive you’ve never even touched a board much less ridden one.

            If you’re impressed by this it’s fine. Don’t get mad at me just because I’m not. What is is with the internets today that we’re supposed be pissing ourselves every time something mildly interesting is uploaded? If they are having fun on their little track that’s fine. When I was a kid I would also build ramps out of snow to jump on my sledge. If people like watching this it’s also fine. It’s good that lemmy is inclusive like that. I’m just saying I’m not that impressed by it. Since when not being impressed is so offensive to everyone?

              “Little track” dude. Just stop. You’re trying to make yourself sound cool and better than an Olympic snowboarder. You’re not, you’re actually making yourself sound incredibly stupid and ignorant, not cool.

              I’m not impressed by it

              That’s not what you said originally and you know it. You’re backtracking now and it’s easy to see.

          Anyone can go off the jump, the hard part is landing it
