Skateboarders are a bunch of hooligans, no doubt about it. We wax curbs, yell at inanimate objects, focus boards, and do a bunch of other stuff that reflects the “skate and destroy” culture we come from. This all seems normal to us, but if you were to pull your head out of your sweaty ass it would be easy to see how weird these antics must look from the outside. Here we get a glimpse into the confused and frightened mind of a regular pedestrian who happens to cross paths with a crew of skaters. Press play and watch how ridiculous we look when we’re playing skateboards with our friends to the outside world.

what the average person doesnt know is that this is nothing at all what a true real life honest to god skater is. or at least i think. not once in this video did i see the dude actually do some real tricks down some real stairs. he just rolled up evertime. which is why im thinking we need to re-educate the outside world about skateboarding. instead of going with the negative stereotypes
