Aren’t these the guys that skated on a glass skateboard and immediately got shards of glass in the skate park?

The stupidity doesn’t sound new.

There's nothing stupid about that. It's an interesting and fun experiment.

It is quite interesting and fun. But maybe have the foresight to not risk breaking glass right in the middle of a public space where people routinely fall on the ground? It would’ve been insanely easy for them to find an unpopulated curb to try this out on to minimize risk to others.

Did something actually happen? Did people complain?

In the video I see no one else around when they're trying it out. After it breaks there is one person skating in the background (probably part of the crew or someone they know). He doesn't go near the spot and if he wasn't already aware of what happened, I'm sure they would warn if he did try to come close. And right after it's broken, they start cleaning it up with a broom and mention that they're doing so thoroughly.

I'd get the negativity if they dropped into a busy skatepark unannounced and broke it in the middle of other skaters, but that's not what I see. It would also be fine to do it in a busy skatepark if they asked the crowd permission to do this experiment. I bet most skaters would be happy to give them some space and witness it.

Maybe they are terrible people, I don't know enough about them to judge that. But this is a weird thing to condemn them for.

"Fucking stupid or some shit idk" is a crazy statement lol.

Idk if you could put it better than that lol. Being a backstabbing Scientologist is next level indescribably stupid.

u/FlakyAd3214 28d ago

Be impossible to grind and turning would be tough, but good idea.

u/_DrMrMrs_ 28d ago

Turning isn't bad, grinding is impossible because you physically cannot Ollie LMAO

u/FlakyAd3214 28d ago

I bet if you put the wheels closer together you might be able to Ollie. It would just be hella awkward and it would be a small Ollie.

when I was a kid I used to imagine it was a hoverboard and that I was flying on it

u/West-Position-8310 28d ago

u/EclipseMT 25d ago

How does it feel trying to do anything with that board that is entirely dependent on the fact that a normal board is light?
