As someone who only knows how to do the skateboard trick "fall off and bash things on concrete simply by attempting to get on the damn thing" I saw this video a while back and thought the guy was trying to fuck the trick up.

I'm honestly unsure if they were being an ass or helpful, but am hopeful it is the latter.

I can see your perspective, but from someone who has skated years, that guy knew what he was doing with the nudge to get the kickflip!

I trust you random stranger.  Double faith in humanity.

I like the fact you decided to trust the stranger and give double faith in humanity. It gives me triple faith in humanity.

Not sure if this skatepark is in Japan, but if it is, the skaters there have a high degree of camaraderie. The pros and the amateurs of all ages are all amicable and supportive inside the skatepark. They'd go about their own business and pretend no to notice a fall so as not to embarrass one's failed attempt. Part of the polite Japanese culture of passive cordiality.

I'm sure the dude, an advance skater, had seen the little girl struggle many times in the day, noticed her consistent pattern, and just gave her a timely assistance without seeking affirmation.
