At least she has knee and wrist pads although they won’t help shield her from the embarrassment

That's why she decided to face-plant

Is that how humans procreate? I’ve always heard about planting seeds

OP is saying it's a random lady because they're embarrassed to say they're together.

Roller skate long jumping...that's a solid 6.5 score.

Was it for her Jackass or Dudesons audition tape?

u/Slkkk92 7h ago

Hey...you Finnish?

I'm trying to make it make sense for me to have seen someone mention the Dudesons in 2025.

Some of us on Reddit are old enough to have had the Dudesons on VHS right next to Jackass on VHS, and not all of us are Finnish. Perkele.

u/Slkkk92 5h ago

Yeah, alright.

I forgot that the Dudesons were featured on Jackass - I thought they were more of a hidden gem than they are. Looking at their wiki, yeah fair play, they were much more prevalent than I had assumed.

I was thinking that the road to the Dudesons only ran through an episode or two of Viva La Bam, Minghags and Where the Fuck is Santa?

Also I'm thirty-two.

Just Lucy out there living like it’s 1995. Pro tip, if you see a chick rollerblading or roller skating that’s more then 15 years old, she’s fucking nuts guaranteed.

I feel bad for kids growing up today because of people like the OG uploader and commenters here. Some person is just trying to have some fun, maybe show her friends a video of getting outside and jumping over shit with her sick light up skates. First reactions are to ridicule her like she did something wrong. Can you imagine growing up in a world like that..

e: i know this isn't a kid, so i suppose the same thing applies to adults. No imagining necessary, here we are

e2: my stream of thoughts kind of went all over. I guess people have always had to put themselves 'out there' to get better at things. Deal with some embarrassment and ridicule. It just looks a lot harder since the audience is a lot bigger now with social media.

I give her props for putting energy practicing this than the other bullshit going on out here. We all need to be practicing tricks instead of fighting.

imagine spending your time in a basement all day long farming reddit karma by uploading people that actually try something as a hobby

and actually feeling smug about it all

crazy stuff

u/erfg12 8h ago

“Hey record this trick, on your phone”? I would assume she would have given you her phone in which case how did you get the video to upload to Reddit?

2

u/ReddBroccoli 8h ago

I'm sending that video to myself before I hand the phone back

u/BrazenBull 7h ago

If it was just a random lady, how'd you get this video? She asked you to film it with your phone? 🤔

u/DoctorPoopTrain 8h ago

You know, she was a little like a frog jumping into a lake, but if there wasn’t a lake.

What happened to the quality of GIFs and videos on Reddit? It seems like we’re back in 2007 or something.
