Skate Or Why Won't That Guy Die?

The truth of the matter is that skateboard videos are super fun to watch, and if they're directed by Spike Jonze and feature slow motion explosions, all the better.

Then again, I got a text message from a friend yesterday saying that she saw a 40-year-old man skateboarding down her street while eating a pizza. So skateboarding is like life, you get a little bit of good with a LOT of bad.

And to those of you who say "this video is old, I deFriendstered this video on my old laptop that doesn't even work anymore while listening to my Walkman that's how old," I say the emails to tips@videogum.com don't write themselves. Sharing is caring.
