Gotta have a spotter doing this shit.

honestly why didnt they?

[–]alanamablamaspama 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

My guess is the spotter was supposed to be the guy on the bottom left at the end of he gif. Dude was caught lying down.

From another thread I read that they had a spotter, but the spotter couldn't stop the car. So I guess their spotter was an idiot.

Isn't the skater supposed to stop? The car has the right of way there wtf

*varial kickflip

[–]iswantingcake 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

What's the distinction?

[–]corvustock 7ポイント8ポイント  (2子コメント)

A kickflip is a straight barrel roll of the board in the anti-clockwise direction looking from behind the skater. A varial kickflip is that rotation, plus a 180 degree rotation about the vertical axis in a clockwise direction, looking down.

[–]shoecutter 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Does it have to be clockwise?

[–]corvustock 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

For a regular skater (left foot in front), yes. Sorry, should have stated this earlier. The description I gave is for people who put their left foot in front, if the person puts their right foot in front then reverse those rotations. For a regular skater, a straight anti-clockwise barrel roll is a kickflip, clockwise is a heelflip. The clockwise rotation on the vertical axis from above is called a shuvit on its own, if it's anti-clockwise then it's a frontside shuvit. The combination of a shuvit and a kickflip is a varial kickflip. The combination of a frontside shuvit and a kickflip is a hardflip. It's called a hardflip because it's very hard to do.

    Nightmare flip, flipped twice

    [–]B00617825 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

    The only thing making this a nightmare flip is that he got hit by a damn car. No second flip there mate.

    [–]Casting-1st-Stone 28ポイント29ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Second flip is more impressive.

    [–]motorcity5150 35ポイント36ポイント  (5子コメント)

    That wasn't a kickflip...

    [–]rreighe2 13ポイント14ポイント  (4子コメント)

    To non skaters, everything is either a kickflip or an ollie.

    What's an Ollie?

    [–]rreighe2 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

    Is this a legit question?

    [–]m1l4droid 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Well, not really, my poor attempt at humor. You said to non-skater everything is either a kickflip or an Ollie. I'm so non-skater that I don't even know what they are.

    "Wastedgifs" so very expected (satisfying too).

    [–]Andyman117 36ポイント37ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Well I expected him to wipe out on the kickflip. Instead, he got hit by a car. I did not expect that.

    [–]rreighe2 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I just thought he was going to run into the curb and fall on the sidewalk. nope.

    I definitely expected under car. What I didn't expect was the skater's total lack of awareness

    Poor driver

    [–]DegeneratePaladin 28ポイント29ポイント  (5子コメント)

    > but the driver didn't react as quickly as they could have

    I downloaded the video and imported into a video editor - from the time he was visible to the time of impact was about 2.25 seconds.

    The average human reaction time is about 0.3 seconds.

    I just timed myself multiple times stimulating going from gas to brake - the average was 0.56 seconds.

    I also calculated the approximate speed the car was going by using the "No parking" sign as reference (the size of which is 12" wide 18" tall) compared to the gate behind it. There was 8.645 signs that fit between where the car first showed on screen and where he was hit - with a time of 0.1667 seconds in between. Thus, the speed of the car was about 35.4mph.

    BUT! Keep in mind that the driver, in the best case scenario, had a total of 2.25 seconds to see the kid and slam on the brakes before impact. Subtract the time on screen and that's 2.08 seconds where the car is off-screen. Thus, they were probably going faster than that. Let's play it safe and say 40mph.

    Thanks to this nifty site, I found out that "a reasonably skilled driver could easily get deceleration rates in excess of 20 [feet per second, per second] without loss of control." Well, 40mph is 58.667 feet per second. Divide that by 20 feet per second per second, and you get 2.9 seconds required to go from 40mph to 0mph.

    So in conclusion, 2.9 seconds > 2.25 seconds. The driver was going to hit the kid no matter what.

    I think we have a misunderstanding here. I wasn't saying the driver was driving poorly. I felt bad that the driver has to deal with this shit.

    Good post though.

    Taking the driver's license now, our instructor told us that in a casual traffic situation where you're not expecting anything out of the ordinary - as a general rule of thumb - a driver will generally take somewhere around 1.5 seconds to perceive and react.

    [–]dankisms 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Yeah the average driver isn't going to immediately slam on his brakes. There'll be a moment where he processes it and stares in disbelief (it wouldn't be prudent to jam on your brakes if, say, a bunch of balloons drifted out suddenly).

    Streets look wet and driver's wheels were not moving. Probably had to slam on the brakes and lost control of the car.

      I'd rather damage my vehicle than risk killing someone. Get a dash cam, then when you swerve to miss an obvious pedestrian the insurance company can't fuck you. You don't kill or hurt anyone, and you get your shit fixed. Everyone wins

      [–]rodbuster90 -4ポイント-3ポイント  (5子コメント)

      How could the driver not brake in time not to hit him? As soon as he landed the trick he was in the street for 5 seconds. Plenty of time for the car to brake. There is also the fact that the skater didn't even look for cars after he landed... both of them are stupid.

      [–]ThePrevailer 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

      You should get a watch. It's less than three seconds. The average adult has a reaction time between one and three and a half seconds. Even the driver was fastest of the fast, he still likely would have gotten hit.

      Damn dude you didn't have to do all that. I don't care nearly that much

      [–]croutonicus 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

      No more than two seconds. Also the driver is braking as he comes into view, his wheels are locked and the ground looks wet.

      Considering it takes 1-2 seconds to register a reaction and up to five seconds to stop depending on the likely speed limit, it's ridiculous to put fault anywhere near the driver.

      [–]BeefsteakTomato 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

      The car's wheels locked before the car gets into the frame of view for the camera. That means he braked from the moment he landed.
