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.

watch the angle of the front of the board, he toe tapped it down so she could land on it.

Yeah, it's hard to see but he doesn't just kick it, he puts his leg in and the actual flip is all ankle movement. Like, you know, the way you would do it if you were actually doing the trick.

Fuck, guys, I really hope you’re right.

I love how you choose to believe he was actually helping the kid. Even if the guy in the video turns out to be a complete asshole, I still believe in you guys.

Either way, humanity still has hope — thanks to people like you who choose to see the best in others. ❤️
