While I completely agree with the sentiment, I would have totally skateboarded that when I was kid, and built a ramp at the end of the pier for the extra airtime.
That’s pretty much how I had it figured, until one day when I was about 14-15, and the opportunity presented itself to ride a bmx bike off a rickety old boat dock into a pond.So you'd land in water...whats the worst that could happen?
Oh I would have been there too.While I completely agree with the sentiment, I would have totally skateboarded that when I was kid, and built a ramp at the end of the pier for the extra airtime.
You're supposed to flip the skateboard around at the top of the other side and ride it back down!A friend and I were skateboarding up and down some large hills in MI.
At the bottom of the hill, we would coast up the other side until we slowed enough to stop.
Then there was the hike back up the hill to ride down again. Wash, rinse, repeat.
I decided that to save time, and the additional walking, I would jump off the skateboard at the bottom of the hill.
I quickly found what inertia was. I planted my feet, to quickly enter into a head over heals tumble and slide across the blacktop.
After recomposing myself, we continued, but rode the hill up to a stop.
We found out the following day, by my friends mom in her car following us, we were traveling at almost 40mph at the point I departed my skateboard. Those were the days.
This was way before the quarter pipes. We did it old school.You're supposed to flip the skateboard around at the top of the other side and ride it back down!

Pro tip: separate yourself from the bike before you hit the water!
One year our baler broke down near the end of the season ... so we put Loose Hay into the barn --- we would then take turns jumping from the Beams into the loose hay --- about 20-25 feetI used to jump of 2 story houses into leaf piles.
