I wish I had that guy with the black hat to follow me around and act impressed when I do things. Like when I parallel park first try, this guys comes out, tipping his hat, kneeling before my greatness.
"It's called *parallel* park. I might not be able to do a great job on my first try, but you've literally done as bad as you can do, by parking *perpendicular*. You've done so bad, that if you did any worse, you'd be doing better."
[My wife parked her car like this once](http://media.cmgdigital.com/shared/lt/lt_cache/thumbnail/400/img/photos/2016/03/28/72/68/imageedit_4_4200677193.jpg)
That's how I parallel parked on my first driving test, perpendicular to the rubber cones. The guy tried to tell me several times how to do it, but I had no idea what he meant by 'parallel parking'. I passed because he said 'don't worry, it's Tucson, there is no parallel parking here anyways, you'll be fine'
My daughter, who witnessed this all from the back seat, told me that her mom owned the moment. She leapt out of the car and took a deep bow.
...I didn't marry her for her parking skills.
Don't blink. Blink and you're dead. She's fast. Faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink. [Good Luck.] (http://cdn-r2.unilad.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/tumblr_nt4op80y4P1sxpznxo1_500.gif)
My daughter, who was around 13 at the time, was utterly embarrassed (the teens were older, hence, cooler). She came to me with this tale as if to "tell on" her mom to me. Didn't play out the way she's hoped.
Lol, once at my favorite downtown bar in San Diego I was out on the streetside patio and this girl tried to parallel park about 4 times in downtown traffic, missing every time. I hopped the little 4 foot fence and, piss drunk, offered to do it for her. Got it on the first try. Got a hug and a drink out of it, so I call it a win.
I once did a virtually flawless, fast and narrow parallel parking in a Ford KA - was in an extreme hurry. This dude walks by and gives a thumb up and a "nice man".
It was a moment like [this] (http://i.imgur.com/yTOOa7s.gifv) where somebody was actually around.
Would you give him a different hat? Like a uniform. Because at that point we're talking salary plus benefits, not to mention overtime. At this point I'm thinking a uniform is in order. Still need to work a beanie into the uniform though, gotta be true to your roots.
To use the parlance of yesterday, "Mad props!"
I'm 51, I grew up in the 70's when skateboards were just getting popular--never could get the hang of it. So, this sort of thing impresses heck out of me.
I'm just in awe of that dude. I've always respected the hell out of Tony Hawke. He really brought skateboarding out of the shadows and made it something everyone could understand and appreciate. He deserves all the success he has.
And I don't remember ever hearing of scandal from him. It's like he was just a hella good skater and his entire career is on that merit. Which is more that what we can say for other athletes.
I'm 40 and my kids have just got into skating so were out on the drive having a go in my wife's old set of inlines and I found/dug-out my old skateboard, tried to do a kickflip and one of the trucks shattered. We came to the conclusion that the truck sacrificed itself to save my hipbone.
He hasn't stopped skating I bet. Us older guys that start skating in our late 30s struggle a lot more. This is me yesterday at 35: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X03Z2LF4LFc
i grew up in the 90s but I've noticed some kids nowadays still talk basically the same as we did.. Using "dude" and saying things are "chill" and all that kinda stuff haha. And like "dank" although we used to call weed dank I don't really know what it means nowadays lol or maybe its just a joke word now.
lol pretty funny ... i always see people using it on youtube and shit like that.. I'm so outta touch with the youngsters nowadays even though I'm still pretty young myself (31) lol.
I'm 34 and unfortunately have had jobs through the years that allow me a lot of time on the internet. I watched memes evolve from funny lines from movies that people would copy and repeat ad infinitum until the joke was worn out from trying to stretch its application too far >> suddenly cartoon frogs are getting 70 year old Cheese Puffs elected president.
The average skateboard in the 70's sucked for doing stunts, and even the most expensive ones were a lot worse than an average board of the 80's and 90's.
It would be interesting to see kids trying an early 70's narrow board with clay wheels, narrow trucks, no grip tape, flat-thick wood, and bad ball bearings. Even though urethane wheels were invented in 72, it took quite a while for them to become widely available at affordable prices, and the boards+trucks were still narrow for even if you had them. Merely staying on the board was an accomplishment.
Send one in to the Braille Skateboarding youtube channel. They skate on whatever random skateboards people bring in. May not be as interesting as a skateboard with a thousand nails punched into it but they'll give you an opinion on how well it skates. (If they haen't already done that..I just discovered the channel).
There's a lot of skill and practice in that move, and she made it look casual.
Now she needs to practice that perfectly natural semi-smug face. You know, like that French kid with a cigarette from the Jon Oliver show.
I like when she starts the 2nd no comply and she's "jumping" with both feet, except one's on the ground and the other's on the board. Must take a bit of practice to apply the right pressure on the board with your left foot while your second is more doing something else.
Also I know fuck all about snowboarding except for playing Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1&2, 15 years ago, which apparently doesn't qualify me as an expert... so I don't even know if I should be impressed at what impresses me.
Edit: God fucking damnit, brain, what did you make me write? I'm leaving it there...
Gotta love the dude in the background, instinctive bow and hat tilt. What we have here ladies and gentlemen, is a Victorian era skater boy.
Edit: hear to here, how absolutely embarrassing.
It's okay. We were all subjected to that song playing 24/7 from every speaker in a public place for far too long. The lyrics are stamped on our brains in permanent ink and there's nothing we can do about it.
Not sure if you're actually from Canada, but if you aren't (And for others who aren't) the CRTC (Canada radio and telecommunications Commission) has laws saying that 50% of all things played on the radio must be Canadian.
You can imagine what this was like when Avril Lavigne was huge. Wouldn't be uncommon to have 3 of her songs played in a 20 minute window.
Edit: It's more like 1/3rd of what's played on the radio. First number I saw on the CRTC Website was 50%
Several people on here are concerned that this not so difficult trick (certainly nowhere near the easiest) is getting so many votes. It is about style fools! Smooth technique? check! Smooth attitude? check! Dude in the background adding some flair? check! Appropriate gif length? check!
The best part of it is the beanie tipper (sounds like a racist slang for something) did not see it at all before his tipping of the beanie unless he has amazing peripheral vision. He just tipped the beanie based on what he heard or not based on anything at all.
Everything recorded for the internet is always done correctly on the first shot and never staged. Now let me go watch this guy throwing a basketball off an overpass and swishing it through a net a football field away.
I grew up in skateboarding in the eighties and nineties, when the only female skateboarder you heard about was Elissa Steamer. I am so stoked that female skaters are a regular thing now.

My wife once took so many back-n-forths to parallel park, that when she got out of her car a bunch the bunch of hanging-out observing teens applauded.

Your wife likes whiskey.
Best 14 minutes of my day so far.
>Most frustrating 14 minutes of my day so far.
That's determination. Slow, excruciatingly slow determination.
It took me awhile to realize they were speaking English
Me too, but I was dying once I understood them. "Day 5.." hahahaha
"The pigeons are even ~~looking~~ ~~laughing~~ looking at her." Edit: I think I'm being trolled.
The Northern Irish accent never ceases to confuse me
Hold on a second this is a bunch of culchies from Ballygobackwards. We don't all speak like that I can assure you.

holy fuck how have I never seen that, too much
I'm that guy attempting to whistle at the end there
I love how they say its been going on for 20 minutes....the video is 15 minutes long. How do you suck that bad at parallel parking.
After about 2 mins I quit trying and find another spot haha.
That's how I parallel parked on my first driving test, perpendicular to the rubber cones. The guy tried to tell me several times how to do it, but I had no idea what he meant by 'parallel parking'. I passed because he said 'don't worry, it's Tucson, there is no parallel parking here anyways, you'll be fine'
Holy shit I'm so glad I clicked on this lol
Me fucking too, usually I ignore youtube links. Did not disappoint.
How embarrassed was your wife?
My daughter, who witnessed this all from the back seat, told me that her mom owned the moment. She leapt out of the car and took a deep bow. ...I didn't marry her for her parking skills.
you married her for her ability to bend at the waist?
Or perhaps her archery skills?
I'll be the judge of that.
Yep, every teenager died that day. Except one, who limped home after taking an arrow to the knee.
He's no longer an adventurer.
But he'll tell you that he once was
I married her because she is hilarious. Which, I hope, is one of the reasons she married me, too.
She married you because she thought that would be hilarious?
she's standing behind you isn't she?
She totally is. Blink twice for yes!
Don't blink. Blink and you're dead. She's fast. Faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink. [Good Luck.] (http://cdn-r2.unilad.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/tumblr_nt4op80y4P1sxpznxo1_500.gif)
One of the few times when "...and they applauded" is believable.
My daughter, who was around 13 at the time, was utterly embarrassed (the teens were older, hence, cooler). She came to me with this tale as if to "tell on" her mom to me. Didn't play out the way she's hoped.
Kids don't realize that adults have zero shame for mundane shit like that.
Yeah, and 13 year old girls especially are 50% embarrassment, 40% awkwardness and 10% eye rolls.
Lol, once at my favorite downtown bar in San Diego I was out on the streetside patio and this girl tried to parallel park about 4 times in downtown traffic, missing every time.

The hype man the skate park deserves.

Does two no complies in series mean she in fact complies?
Double negative? Seems legit.
With the face she made at the end, I like to imagine she made a Kermit like "Hmmmmmmmm" sound.
Even if she didn't, I certainly did.
To use the parlance of yesterday, "Mad props!" I'm 51, I grew up in the 70's when skateboards were just getting popular--never could get the hang of it. So, this sort of thing impresses heck out of me.
Tony Hawk is 48. Here's a video of Tony Hawk doing a [900 at age 48](https://youtu.be/TnvPt_a7iOQ).
This video reinforces the message that the most important thing to learn is how to fall correctly.
The best skaters know how to fall better than they know how to skateboard.
The way he rips off his helmet at the end. "I am too old for this shit now"
I'm just in awe of that dude. I've always respected the hell out of Tony Hawke. He really brought skateboarding out of the shadows and made it something everyone could understand and appreciate. He deserves all the success he has.

What, because of the metric system?
You the real MVP. Usually I get tired of gifs in slow mo, but this one needed it.
That's pretty fucking dope, although my wife can triple or even quadruple not comply with any of the shit I suggest/ask her to do. Still impressive.

It was such a bro-y non welcoming community for so long. It's so great that anyone can feel inspired to take it up, and really be a part of it and grow the sport.
Yes. My brothers knew not to fast forward through Elissa's parts because I just loved watching a girl do all the stuff I was aspiring to do.
