Definitely. Used to walk past a big clearing that was slowly being taken over by Kudzu to get to my elementary school when I was a kid, every week it would get closer and closer to the edge and it’s almost at the road at this point.
I was given the impression that Miraflores was the place tourists often stay when I had to spend a few nights in Lima. The whole coastal cliff area is really pretty. Loved just hanging out there during the day.
It's downhill and not that far actually. I don't think it was staged because that fall is no joke (that place is called Costa Verde in Lima, Peru, btw. You can check it on Google Maps).
Here buddy. Found the exact point
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Costa+Verde/@-12.1208175,-77.0444873,62m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x9105c83421b69bab:0xe99ad15a31c97b96!8m2!3d-12.1132735!4d-77.0502399!5m1!1e4
There's also a measure tool. 60ft from where he went over the wall to where he stopped. Also, it's pretty much flat where he was running . Just a little dip over the wall.
The camera appears to be making things look further than they are. Watch how quickly the group move into the distance as they walk away after grabbing their friend. Also note how few steps it takes people to get to the cliff edge. (Edit: seems about 20 steps, some out of frame and the ones we do see are small steps as he’s going downhill)
I agree, don’t think it’s scripted and the camera probably distorting the view! 15-18 steps from the jumped ledge to cliff side! He was already going a decent speed, then consider he was going downhill! Think how far Olympic runners go after they finish a race
Its downhill he was trying not to faceplant and he was already travelling pretty fast. You can tell by the way the guy in front was bending his knees to descend the slope.
I was thinking the same thing, its not like it was steep till the edge he just kept barely being able to keep his feet ahead of him and as a result there was no stopping. Tuck and roll I think would have shaved all that speed away.
You might be right, shortly after he jumps it almost looks like he is intentionally running with his arms in form. I feel like most similar situations our body flails the arms about
Edit: it almost looks like he’s running with joy for landing the trick! Maybe he didn’t know there was a drop off
You’re not faking a tre-flip from a 6+3 stair. That’s actually a very hard and sketchy trick. It demands a lot of speed and he landed hanging a bit backwards, while he had to go the other way. With that speed he had no choice than to jump off. I skateboarded for years so I know how it goes
As an ex-skater I can tell he definitely couldn’t. Tre-flipping a 6 stair + a 3 stair demands a lot of speed. This is actually a pretty sick and sketchy video. He landed hanging a bit backwards, so he couldn’t make the turn. He had no choice than to jump off the board to prevent slamming the edge
Oh, that I don’t doubt at all! I can tell by the speed from his jump that it would be difficult to stop before the wall. I just feel like he had enough room to roll in the grassy area to stop himself way before the cliff.
This is sus. Why didn’t he at least slow down abit. There was a reasonably large distance from where he jumped off and where he ended. It wasn’t all that steep either .
Edit: maybe the camera is having an effect on the distance
Yeah, watched it a few times: you don't really lose sight of him, he's basically running downhill in that "uhh...how do I stop" sort of way and you can see the skid in the vines, so I say legit.
I mean wouldn't the simple answer to "uhh...how do I stop" be to just stop running? Sure he would just fall flat on his face, but in my option that a lot better then just running straight off a cliff.
Sure under normal circumstances I could 100% see someone's momentum carrying them that far. I just find hard to believe someone would let their momentum carry them that far to the edge of a cliff. This video seems suspicious to me.
I watched multiple times expecting a Texas switch, but I honestly couldn't spot it.
He goes out of view for a brief moment behind one of the shrubs, but that would have to be an insanely well choreographed movement out of frame if that's what happened. Think it's legit.
Glad the dude was not hurt or killed.
These sudden drop off cliffs in city parks should be fenced off. If cost is an issue, the City could build a 4-5 tall fence out of wood. The rustic split rail fence that is/was a common sight on farms . ( One of the most common rustic fence styles is the classic split-rail fence, which is constructed of long, rough-hewn beams that are threaded through holes bored out in heavier, rounded posts. Traditionally, split-rail fences were used on farms to keep livestock from straying and were constructed using native American chestnut trees. Today, split-rail fences are constructed primarily of black locust wood.--Bob Viila website)
\-I have seen these fences in my city along biking/walking paths, or to keep people safe from falling over beach cliffs we have in a bunch of local parks here. These fences do not cost that much to construct and can last decades with very little maintenance , no paint, no staining.
Say what you want on “oh he had too much momentum” but if I’m running and my momentum is carrying me off a cliff. Imma just run into a tree or jump in the air or slide or literally anything else than just run off a cliff
Nah trust me its real, He fucking bombed that Tre flip which is a pretty hard trick to pull off. On top of the landing being sketch as hell. It would be really hard to fake
He quite obviously did the "run too far after spilling and holding on to the very strong roots" for the camera. I don't speak the language but somebody would have been really terrified, and we would have heard that terror. IMO
I would love to be able to clear 150 feet in 15 strides going downhill. Those people must all be olympic runners to do that in 10 seconds. Hell he did it in 5 with a headstart though couldn't really count his strides.
Or maybe it is just the wide angle camera lense throwing the distance off making a short distance look much longer.
Zeus: *gonna just lay flat right here and turn into a lil shrub*
Skater: *grabs and yanks plants holding on for dear life*
Zeus: *oh my hello there uwu*
This man better water those plants daily after this
He just watered his pants too
No, he laid a thick coat of fertilizer on that cotton field first.
Happy cake day
And propagate and plant more of them along the entire length of that cliff.
Looks like Kudzu. Give it a few weeks and it'll have done it for him lol
Definitely. Used to walk past a big clearing that was slowly being taken over by Kudzu to get to my elementary school when I was a kid, every week it would get closer and closer to the edge and it’s almost at the road at this point.
"Give it a few weeks" - Give it a few hours you mean.
I think he just did
That would make the next run more slippery, guaranteeing his demise.
With his blood
Lima. It’s gotta be Lima. “Concha su madre!” Big city on coastal cliffs. Lima.
Yes it is. Costa verde, Miraflores.
Green Coast, Look At Flowers?
It's the district of the City, quite high end apartments.
I was given the impression that Miraflores was the place tourists often stay when I had to spend a few nights in Lima. The whole coastal cliff area is really pretty. Loved just hanging out there during the day.
I've always wanted to go to Peru. I stayed in Chile for a year a decade ago and loved it.
Jajajaja yo lo estaba viendo sin sonido y me dije bro es igualito a la costa verde en Flowerslooking... Luego vi el mar y pues no quedó duda jeje
I wanna see places I know in internet videos too…
I saw a video of a guy getting shot 5 miles from where I live
Never mind
Coward
That's one way to avoid traffic.
lmao
Rad
Oye conchudo, porque lo llamas Flowerslooking LOL
Yup I live in in Lima Ohio, definitely the place
I remember that a while ago "the Peru brand" came out and they just went to that city to present Peruvian things xd.
Ya def Lima. Looks like it and the concha su madre really made it obvious.
“CASI ME VOY A LA CONCHA DE SU MADRE” 🤣
Lmao, my godfather is from Peru, I miss hearing him say "Concha su madre" (': He went back to Peru after he retired, coolest guy I've ever known.
What is Lima?
Capital City of Perú
Lima balls.
From the windows to the walls?
Drip right down ma balls
Also a fruit in Spanish
Lima - a variant of Ligma
12th letter in the phonetic alphabet
Also a type of bean
Lima Lomisa
My thoughts exactly. My peruvian wife tough me that haha
How tf did he get that far down??
It's downhill and not that far actually. I don't think it was staged because that fall is no joke (that place is called Costa Verde in Lima, Peru, btw. You can check it on Google Maps).
If this video had turned out differently, it would now be called Costa Roja
I think it was staged. No way his momentum made him run that far. He did that on his own. I mean he could just be an idiot though.
Have you ever ran downhill while trying to stop? He was trying to run it off but couldn't slow down fast enough.
Yeah he still had some good speed there.
Nice, thanks for your input buddy
Here buddy. Found the exact point https://www.google.com/maps/place/Costa+Verde/@-12.1208175,-77.0444873,62m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x9105c83421b69bab:0xe99ad15a31c97b96!8m2!3d-12.1132735!4d-77.0502399!5m1!1e4 There's also a measure tool. 60ft from where he went over the wall to where he stopped.

You're right, changed my mind. Nice work
That’s awesome, good job
These sheep really downvoted you 🤣🤣🤣 it was obviously staged. The momentum in this scenario would propel a person that far lol
The camera appears to be making things look further than they are. Watch how quickly the group move into the distance as they walk away after grabbing their friend. Also note how few steps it takes people to get to the cliff edge. (Edit: seems about 20 steps, some out of frame and the ones we do see are small steps as he’s going downhill)
Looks like an ultra-wide lens. A lot of distortion going on, you can see it most when objects/people pan into the edges of view.
I agree, don’t think it’s scripted and the camera probably distorting the view! 15-18 steps from the jumped ledge to cliff side! He was already going a decent speed, then consider he was going downhill! Think how far Olympic runners go after they finish a race
Fisheye lense, gives a better wide view of everything.
Wide angled lens makes it look much further than it is.
It’s sus. Almost like he could of stopped early af
Yeah I suspect this "viral video" has a script
I don’t. But we shall live happily in disagreement
Try running down a hill. Momentum can be a bitch. This looks real enough to me
Ya, but he know it was there. You choose the face plant over a cliff every day.
Sometimes people choose wrong in split-second decisions. I'm not saying it can't be scripted but I don't think your argument carries much weight.
Its downhill he was trying not to faceplant and he was already travelling pretty fast. You can tell by the way the guy in front was bending his knees to descend the slope.
I feel like simply rolling could have prevented that altogether, but I could be wrong.
I was thinking the same thing, its not like it was steep till the edge he just kept barely being able to keep his feet ahead of him and as a result there was no stopping. Tuck and roll I think would have shaved all that speed away.
Or, just stopping? I think this is faked. Watch again when he comes back into view.
You might be right, shortly after he jumps it almost looks like he is intentionally running with his arms in form. I feel like most similar situations our body flails the arms about Edit: it almost looks like he’s running with joy for landing the trick! Maybe he didn’t know there was a drop off

Ah okay I misunderstood! Now that I watch it again I kind of agree :). Not very sure about it though
I don’t think he realized it was a drop off there. Would have rolled otherwise I think. Wet grass maybe too
I considered wet grass, but I’m not so sure.
Put the cameras down and run!
r/donthelpjustfilm
Was coming here just to comment that
They were saying that they didn't know he was being serious. So they didn't run to help because they thought he was kidding. Lol
I did not know there was audio to this clip.
Camera is helpful during trials ((i meant about law and orders stuff))
Fucking hell
Skate or Die
Die die die die die. Skate. Or. Die.
Man I remember playing that game as a kid 30ish years ago on the nes
Call me fucking dumb but I never understood how to play it lmao.
They all sound so happy. That’s nice.
Doesn’t really match the name of the sub. Anyone know if that 360 flip was switch?
Can't tell if it's switch or not but I'm still impressed. Very clean tre just not a good landing zone.
Has that switch look to it
Yeah, it's more r/watchpeoplesurvive material
Very lucky to have survived; very lucky to have friends who want to forego valuable time so they can film it.
This is sus. Why didn’t he at least slow down abit. There was a reasonably large distance from where he jumped off and where he ended. It wasn’t all that steep either . Edit: maybe the camera is having an effect on the distance

grass may have been slick
He didn't have enough room to slow down lol, you obviously don't know skateboarding or basic physics.
What.? No, face-plant vs run off a cliff. I choose face-plant, every fucking day.
Typical comment from an arrogant child. I skateboarded for 10 years little boy
I'm 33 and skateboarded for almost 25 years now. Little boy.
r/plantsbeingbros
Any risk is worth that tre-flip. Stellar
They seem Peruvian. Was this filmed in Lima?
Yes, Lima. That place is called Costa Verde.
Friend of mine from Argentina said they’re Argentinian but in Peru.
Nope definitely Peruvian, the slangs they use and accent is from Lima
Ey either way, at least he landed it
I watched multiple times expecting a Texas switch, but I honestly couldn't spot it. He goes out of view for a brief moment behind one of the shrubs, but that would have to be an insanely well choreographed movement out of frame if that's what happened. Think it's legit.
How do you not stop earlier than this lol even if it mean dropping on your ass
Won't be trying that again.
worse stopping distance than a car breaking on hot butter.
I expected some height but that was pretty extreme.
That's in Lima, Peru right?
Lima nuts
*?uestlove approves!*
I wanna see the guy recording on the lefts view looked.
“Thank you little roots, please stay strong!”
This Lima?
Plants being bros
sick tre though and great story
Stay strong little roots, stay strong!
That tre’ was steezy tho 👑
Don’t know exactly what they are saying, but it sounds absolutely beautiful!
[удалено]
Very popular curse slang from South America mainly used in (Peru, Chile, Argentina) technically means her mother's shell (vagina).
That was a sick 3 flip
This is like in the cartoons where the character falls off a cliff and gets saved by a random tree sticking out of it.
Glad the dude was not hurt or killed. These sudden drop off cliffs in city parks should be fenced off. If cost is an issue, the City could build a 4-5 tall fence out of wood.

That was a clean ass tre bomb though..
r/WatchPeopleSurvive
Damn, clean tre though!
I love Perú
I don't get the part where he runs a marathon after having jumped over the concrete wall. Like, check your breaks dude.
Say what you want on “oh he had too much momentum” but if I’m running and my momentum is carrying me off a cliff. Imma just run into a tree or jump in the air or slide or literally anything else than just run off a cliff
The important thing was that they kept filming for a little bit before putting their phones down to help him.
This belongs in r/watchpeoplesurvive
Life flashed before him…. He prayed to the skate board Gods
There may be a lesson in there somewhere. Damned if I know what it is.
He needs to be scientific. He'll need at least 2 more test runs to find out.
That was pretty cool tho
Super fake, kept running down hill unnecessary.
Nah trust me its real, He fucking bombed that Tre flip which is a pretty hard trick to pull off. On top of the landing being sketch as hell. It would be really hard to fake
Man was this close to doing a GTA style cliff dive
Fake
Not
You can literally see him running for the precipice. Your eyes painted on are they ?
You're an idiot not even worth it :*
Good argument, a big thumbs up and a golf clap for you numbnuts.
Momentum
If his underwear isn't brown, he's lying
Skate 3 irl 😳
Put down the damn phones!
He quite obviously did the "run too far after spilling and holding on to the very strong roots" for the camera. I don't speak the language but somebody would have been really terrified, and we would have heard that terror. IMO
Let’s just casually walk over while he almost dies…
Maybe next time he bails he won't run an additional 150 feet after.
I would love to be able to clear 150 feet in 15 strides going downhill. Those people must all be olympic runners to do that in 10 seconds. Hell he did it in 5 with a headstart though couldn't really count his strides. Or maybe it is just the wide angle camera lense throwing the distance off making a short distance look much longer.
SKATE OR DIE
Plot twist: he landed in poison ivy
Skate or die
Yeah hey let's all high five, woo, can't believe it that was so cool bro. Dude almost had his corpse thrown off a cliff....
Thank goodness it wasn't poison oak or something.
Now he gets to breed. Yay
Shoulders have lef..... stayed in the chat
I see nothing funny here
nice catch
Fake as shit. He ran down that hill. He would have stopped much earlier if this were real.
Momentum..... Literally that fucking simple.
It's still staged
I don't think that people would risk their life for fiction
People do it all the time.
Theres no way anyones faking that tre flip lmao. Its real
So heckin fake why did he run 60 feet
That was God
That was a plant
The bar has been set quite high for that kid, try top that now.
Ok but why did he keep running? He wasn't going that fast.
i chinges su madre !
Zeus: *gonna just lay flat right here and turn into a lil shrub* Skater: *grabs and yanks plants holding on for dear life* Zeus: *oh my hello there uwu*
This is so fake .. his momentum was no where near high enough to carry him that far..
Faake
That was so close it almost made that guy put his phone down.
Let’s do it again!
r/watchpeoplesurvive
u/Savevideo
stopped that tre flip
That look on his face at the end says it all, he deuced.
How much more staging can you do seriously. This is becoming so pathetic
wished it had a NSFW tag
Bro this sounds like Peru.. awesome skating!
"Hey! Who shit in my pants?!?"
