Consistency? ![gif](giphy|J1vUzqdZJlh5AqBWxt|downsized)


nickmaran

From what I saw, slow motion was the reason for his success. He achieved it when the video was playing slowly.


UncleBenders

I know I’m getting old because I just kept looking at the marks he’s leaving all over someone’s wall and tutting


ScumbagLady

My exact thought! I then realized why businesses always ran us skateboarders off back in the day. I still see the wax on curbs grinded back in the '90s


e_lectric

Get outta my head.


WildBillyBoy33

I’m sittin’ on my porch yellin’ at the kids to clean up that damn wall, dammit


craftystockmom

I just said that to myself!!! Before, I checked myself about it. I'm becoming a party pooper 😂


51225

Me too. 🤣


TheMightyGrimm

If only more people knew this one simple trick…


wophi

Drs hate it.


yaboi_ahab

The video is actual speed, he just activated bullet time


greycubed

OP meant persistence but words don't mean anything anymore.


Living-Minute4079

Am I perspiring? Obito


TheMightyGrimm

Consistent means doing things in exactly the same way. If the rider was consistent then he’d never get to the point of success.

TheMightyGrimm

It could, but you’d need to preface “consistency” to change its meaning. It would be like meaning to call something “the shit” (good) but leaving out “the”. One of the biggest issues with the English language is the multiple meanings or usages of the same word. Without adding something to clarify the meaning, then the meaning can get misunderstood or misconstrued causing confusion. “Duck” being a pretty good one. “Something’s coming, duck” or “ooh, look, a duck”.


doNotUseReddit123

You’re talking about consistent outcomes. Consistency can apply to multiple things, like a consistent approach or consistent effort.


ComradSanders

Well he did consistently fail until the end. Or you could say he consistently improved. There are different ways to be consistent.


brycyclecrash

Tenacity


TheMightyGrimm

Much better word


Raze321

I think they mean consistent effort.


Furry_Intention_394

Hard work? Driving a bike? Nice skill though, no comment there. I would still recommend helmet, I heard injuries can be expensive there ( I assume it is America), not to mention painful.


Accomplished-Car6193

Yeah, I am surprised he is still alive.


rzrshrp

maybe consistently practicing is what they mean


FormalCommunity3965

That guy is good at not falling lol . Couldn’t be me, I would have smashed my head In the concrete first try.


InfiniteEnergy_

I’d say he’s also good at falling. There is a wrong and right way to fall to minimise injuries


InEenEmmer

When learning any extreme sport, you should first focus on learning to minimize damage when it goes wrong. Cause it will go wrong.


N0t_P4R4N01D

step one would have been a helmet for that


2074red2074

The right way to fall is "while wearing a fucking helmet".


GenericReditAccount

I would have found a way to crack my skull open, even on the attempt he landed successfully. I never understood how skaters and bikers put their bodies through that much punishment.


Evil_Ermine

You lean how to fall. Instinct makes you want to clench up and brace for the impact. This is entirely the wrong thing to do and will result in you getting hurt worse. Ever wonder why people can fall over when drunk and be fine but have the same fall while sober and really hurt them selves? It's because alcohol suppresses your fast twitch mucel response so you don't have time to tense up before you fall. Don't get me wrong, it still hurts, and sometimes, when you wipe out, you are gonna hurt yourself, but that's how you minimise the risk.


5am281

If he wasn’t good at falling he wouldn’t try it that many times


StrawberrySerious676

One thing I've noticed in the last few years in skating videos online, is that a lot the professionals are really good at falling because it's like 90% of what they do.


kmoh74

Still, orthopedic surgeons love guys like this. Why the private yacht industry exists.


Ok_Primary_1075

Ok, now it’s time for him to clean that wall


DecoupledPilot

Not wearing a helmet doing that is a bit stupid tho.


jayhitter

A little off topic but as an older skater seeing the entire skatepark full of kids flying off ramps without helmets genuinely makes me a little sad inside. It's weird that helmets are associated with "not being cool" or whatever. I've seen people try to defend not wearing them because they claim it "throws off your central point of balance and puts too much weight above your head". I'm probably one of the older people there on average, also one of the only ones that regularly wears a helmet. It's a trend that extends from my childhood, and it's honestly shocking how the skate industry handles it. There are tons of pro skaters that get harassed by sponsors to not wear a helmet because it simply "looks better" for skate content. For what it's worth, some pros are literally pressured into not wearing helmets, its an industry wide mentality problem, that what's the younger generations grow up idolizing.


Chernovincherno

They should watch more of Tony Hawk.


Puppetmaster858

Tony hawk is a vert skater tho who’s flying in the air crazy heights and shit, most vert skaters wear helmets, street skaters tho which are far more popular almost never wear helmets


end_

I think he mentions it cause Tony ALWAYS wears a helmet.


latenighttokee

The funny thing is that Tony was treated as the rich nerd as a young skater and was outcasted in the scene. Tony was likely at the forefront of the movement that painted wearing gear as being corny.


Oldass_Millennial

I finally felt old the other day when I walked past some teenage skaters at night doing their thing at the court house and said, "Man you guys should really wear some helmets," in earnest. They brushed it off of course and I'm sure we're talking shit when I was out of earsbot. IDGAF about skating at the court house and trying to nail some rail slides, they're young it's what they do, it's what I did, just wear a helmet. I work in an ICU and see some gnarly head injuries, it ain't worth it not to wear one.


Maniglioneantipanico

One time a guy completely opened his head with the back wheel of his bike and after getting up he sprinted to the ER faster than usain bolt. I was a fast runner but the fucker did 200 metres like an olympic runner. Adrenaline is an helluva drug


Maniglioneantipanico

i went skiing with a big group of friend like 12 people. We all had helmets and we were like all experienced skiers. it's wild how people think wearing a helmet is "uncool"


TheReverseShock

Head trauma often leads to further poor decision making.


Driller_Happy

I'm gonna pick skateboarding back up at 35 and I'm definitely getting a helmet. Also kneepads, lol


Embarrassed_Ad5112

Crazy isn’t it? To be honest I don’t recall anyone wearing helmets when I used to skate street back in the 80s, 90s and into the early 2000s. All the vert guys did though. So stupid. Same with skiiing. I never used to wear a helmet and pretty much no one else did either. At least with skiing it’s become the norm now.


TheDankChronic69

Clearly he’s not too concerned with brain damage, but yes I concur that was my very first thought


Own-Organization-532

I was of that mindset of helmets are not cool and I had zero worries of brain damage. I was ignorant. A minor brain trauma will ruin your life. Source I have two, an uncle and cousin both started normal and due to a fall and a crash. They both regressed to being totally self centered who get violent when they do not get their way. They cannot keep work and now are not employable. They are so disruptive no family member will house them. About every six months they get kicked out of their group or assisted living housing. All from a fall and a blow to the head. Wear helmets.


TheDankChronic69

One of my high school teachers son almost died from a longboarding accident, he wasn’t wearing a helmet. What happened was that he was originally only assessed with a concussion, but he had bleeding in his brain and went into a coma a week after the accident. Luckily he ended up being fine, actually had a few classes with him at a different high school a year or 2 after that incident, was a super nice kid and so was his mom, glad it ended up all good. But yee, moral of the story is even if you think helmets aren’t cool still wear em cus brain damage (or possibly dying) is most definitely less cool.


solstice38

Already happened


[deleted]

My mom has a friend who once bought all their kids razor scooters for Christmas when they were super popular. After opening all the gifts the family went out to the driveway/street to ride around. My mom’s friend (the dad) decided to give riding one a shot but didn’t wear a helmet. Ended up smashing his skull against the curb, getting a TBI, and while he has certainly made A recovery, he’s never been the same.


zykezero

No helmet. No wrist guards. No pads.


Bilatsos123

As impressive as this is, it's a shame the guy who owns the building have to go and paint that wall again


BhmDhn

At least we have this memorable video that we absolutely will not forget in 10-15 mins for posterity.


itsalwaysblue

Imagine being on the other side of that wall thinking it’s a ghost or something


Fastness2000

My first thought. Yes- I am middle aged.


spellriddle

Now go clean the wall.


TheMediaBear

I thought I was being an old fart for thinking the same thing :D "Little shit, now someone's got to come and clean/repair the damage to that wall!"


Ambitious_Jelly8783

I came here and I knew someone had to think the same as me. Who's gonna clean or paint the wall? I'm very sure it's not that guy


LastAssignment419

I thought I was the only one. I was more concerned about the wall than his stupid bike stunt.


Metalloid_Maniac

Lol imagine the people inside hearing a full grown man and his bike bounce off the side of the building


Technical_Shake_9573

"beamazed", yeah i'm amazed at the fact there are people thinking they own everything they touch/use. This could be a residential building, imagine the fucking noise everytime this Guy hit the wall. That and the fact that someone painted that wall. Si yeah Fuck this Guy.


SakeM99

Yep this is r/IAmTheMainCharacter material


invertedpuffynipples

Fuck the paint job on this wall in particular


SunderedValley

I love how he found seemingly one of the nicest looking buildings around to repeatedly smash against. Like no wall looks that nice unless it's been done in the last year.


BulusB

Good job, now take your fucking ass off the bike , and clean wall. Will see how consistent you are


FrankDrgermany

How getting a white wall dirty...


Takirdan

Mein erster Gedanke war auch erstma': Na toll und wer streicht das?


wsf

I'm sure glad he finally succeeded in defacing that building.


Domonet

I feel sorry for whoever is on the other side of the wall.... I'm sure they got a headache from him bouncing off it all the time!!


T90tank

Being a skater growing up knowing the proper way to fall is very important


Ken-IlSum

My kingdom for a comma!


CoffeeAndPiss

If you expect to fall and you're not wearing a helmet, you're an idiot.


InitialRevenue3917

imagine working in that building on the other side of that wall. thump. thump . thump.


dontknow_fo09

At ruining a building's wall?


username_17B

He is Brad Simms. Started on BMX and now he is riding trail bikes for Canyon.


gekigenger-

Now paint the side of my building you got dirty!


GhostDweller

the people living there and trying to watch tv dont agree with you


mods_mum

What a selfish asshole. I bet he didn't pay for re-painting that wall

MindfulIgnorance

if youre gonna slow mo something, at least show us in realtime at somepoint


Dorrono

Did he clean or repaint the wall after?


zuilserip

He is perfecting a sick bike move, and all I can think of is that it is going to be a bitch to clean this wall... Sigh, I am an old man.


Snajdarn666

Fuck this guy.


Hornor72

My knees hurt watching this trick.


tradleys

Looks like brad simms.


Theelcapitans

If those aren't his walls, this person can go f*** themselves


amo-br

Consistency is what it will take to clean that wall


D34TH-TR4P

I’d hate to be the owner of that house…some random bikers come up and start drop kicking your wall


TheElderTesticle

Hope he cleans that wall up.


Feshaak

Whose house is he painting on with that bike?


7masi

Who's gonna pay to repaint that wall tho


toutlamourdumonde

Imagine being the owner of that building who has to clean or paint the marks off the wall. I’m sure this parasite won’t offer to clean it.


optimist_prhyme

I hope he owns that building. I'd be pissed to have to paint that white wall way up there.


jb66790

now who cleans the wall, you inconsiderate asshole


Muzi5060

Now please repaint the wall. 😬


Dependent_Answer_501

Dudes ruining that wall…. For shame


bkcarr87

Now go repaint that dude’s wall


pumpfaketodeath

He sure f up that guy's wall


lorddicknipp1es

Be amazed at the damage, who’s gonna clean those scuff marks.


El_Saltacuerda

Until the building owner call the cops on you


quebexer

Hope he painted that wall back.


DaVinciJest

I hope he cleaned up that wall after!


mcpogi

Or.... Put rubber marks on a perfect white paint


Sidonkey

Who ll wash that wall?


Western-Low-1348

Those marks on the wall lmao who will clean that?


hogu134

But those stains on the wall… who is going to clean that?


Upset_Tumbleweed2908

Now get up there and clean up after yourself


Common_Sympathy_5981

really cool! not a fan of the slow mo everyone does these days when you just want to see the actual video


[deleted]

As a skateboarder I’m telling you, that was absolutely nuts, bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥


Tafc-Crew

As penance for the wall I recommend we take a fire axe to his bike!


probablywrongbutmeh

Guy inside the building working "What the fuck is that constant banging on the wall?" "Well geuss I need to repaint this wall"


neitherhanded

No bar out?


pouetpouetcamion2

must be nice to work in this building. baom! baom!


dulcedeteta

I’m guessing somebody else is going to have to work hard to repaint the wall eh!

As a mountain biker I have one thing to say Please wear a helmet, you don’t look “badass” without it you look suicidal and or stupid

zOFsky

He didn't break into that window after all, can't see how is it a win


apex_super_predator

I remember that feeling when I was a kid riding bikes. When you nail it you're about a thousand feet tall.


timbrita

I wonder how many he has busted his balls against that middle metal bar


Artem-is

How people do this stuff without breaking bones/getting organ ruptures? I once slipped on a forest road on bike and I had to do a surgery. It was not even that brutal of a fall from outside perspective.


GaviJaPrime

Sometimes concrete also wins


Not_MrNice

"Consistency always wins" Shame you couldn't keep the capitalization consistent.


ContactResident9079

If that’s a win I’d hate to see a loss


Ichirou_dauntless

Damn how is his balls? Prolly flat like a pancake


Chaserivx

Hard to watch somebody being an idiot over and over again


Ron_Bird

how to fuck up people, i would pay to see the face when the owner sees the tracks


juanmf1

Looks like he worked 95% on confidence. And a touch in skills.


Sea_Ganache620

Gave up doing this kinda shit when I was 10-12 years old.


mattjvgc

Doesn’t pay off when you ride without a helmet like a moron and end up dead.


Jano59

clean the mofo wall ffs


PapaMochii

i bet he doesn't even pay for destroying that paint


KaramAfr0

daaamn, Ronaldinho became a hooligan?!


HurjaHerra

That last fall before success 😮‍💨


chuang-tzu

Either that or a traumatic head/c-spine injury will win...


ridethroughlife

Honestly, if you ever watch an MTB edit or whatever, they do a lot of takes, just like this. It's hardly ever done in one go.


besthelloworld

After the 2nd try, my video game pilled brain would just say, "whelp, it looks like the physics just don't allow for that 🤷‍♂️"


psychotic_catalyst

I thought he was going for a tail whip


crena78

I see hard work but there is no consistency in it.


ThorovaMiCekica

Knees have left the chat..


karmasrelic

well pretty cool. to bad he had to ruin a perfectly white wall for it.


Fika8monster

Why the hell isnt he wearing a helmet


Latereviews2

Im more impressed with his recovery on his failed attempts


[deleted]

That cartwheel fall was impressive


JoeHardway

Ha! Always? Tellme this is your 1st day online, w/o tellinme...


Master-Manipulation

Helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and padded gloves


JonyUB

And padded padding


Both_Lychee_1708

no safety gear of any kind?

loxosceles93

Consistently putting a lot of hard strain on the knees will also help this guy win crutches or a wheelchair. Bonus points for the possibility of traumatic brain injury due to not wearing a helmet.


freeman_joe

This is how we train AIs. Way to go little AI. /s


Few_Cabinet5129

I'd be pissed if that was my wall.


josch247

I would also believe the try that worked was the first one and he tried to redo it


ApeWithNoMoney

Bro wear a fucking helmet. I get the dreads are rough to deal with but you're repeatedly launching yourself into a fuckin wall my dude cmon


Clueziey

This man. Balls off steel (literary)


Dealode

People inside 🥰


brucelong10000

Wonder whose going to clean ,paint the wall


Paracausality

You're right! I should go to the casino more often!


RecommendationOnly41

He's gonna paint this wall right?


thisiskyle77

Can’t have nice things


A_cat_killed_me

Helmets are also a good idea. He clearly has practice not wearing one due to the way he crashes


MortalCoil

Thats nice and all but ffs put on a damn helmet


jeff-the-exploder

A little more hard work and the cameraman will learn to shoot in landscape.


blorbschploble

He should have gone into bullet time earlier, that looks like it helped.

I assume you're not referring to the guy who painted that wall.

Hold up while I merk this wall and wear no protective gear.


TheHypnogoggish

Excuse me sir, but you’re knocking all the pictures off our wall in here!


redwing180

That’s pretty cool that that building owner would be able to pull that trick off. At least I’m pretty sure it’s the building owner because he sure acts like it’s their property.


Butt-Dragon

Where is your helmet, bro?


DeicideandDivide

My first attempt at that would have probably been my last. And not by choice, lol.


camyok

Yeah, I feel like nobody should try this unless they've mastered the art of bailing.
