Watch this guy's terrific attempt to not to fall as he slides all the way down his driveway
One One Thousand, Two One Thousand, Three One Thousand, Four One Thousand, Five One Thousand, Six One Thousand, Seven One Thousand, Eight One Thousand, Nine One Thousand
You must always ask yourself: “Why was anyone videoing this?”
As such, I’m gonna say, bogus.
For me, this was Tuesday.
Mud, moss, burrows, unstable slopes; all part of the fun of working in the forests.
I dunno about it being totally fake. I once saw a guy while snowboarding break his collarbone. He was in pain, but basically OK until he reached up to feel it, and touched the bone sticking out of the skin.
That put him into shock, and he slowly collapsed over the course of about 7-8 seconds, narrating that he was passing out as he very slowly sunk to the ground.
It is clear that the shovel was the problem all along. Once he got rid of that he just stood up. Shuvils: fargin’ bastiges!
I was expecting him to start break-dancing. Now that would have been a surprise ending.
(Well, I guess not, because I was expecting it.)
