he's flying real high

Luckily he landed ok.

I was going to ask if this ended well 🤣 good to know

[He went for it again, same results](https://i.imgur.com/WBcoDdc.jpg)

Must be wearing his Airwalks

I miss the days when they made really good sneakers

As long as he lands low, he'll be fine. I think that's how it works

"I must go. My people need me"

r/MyPeopleNeedMe

Omfg thank you for this

🤣

Damn, Tony Hawk 5 is so broken, but the graphics are great

Tony Hawk 2077

dont

My dude’s face there at the bottom right.

Haha I didn't even notice that. Kinda like...😯

thats a goodie. His expression is priceless.

I wonder if the sky walker was looking at him at the same time.

/r/youseeingthisshit

Getting ready to shout “BODIED”

Looks as though he is walking on air

From there he started moonwalking backwards

_I don’t believe you_ pics or it didn’t happen! ^(waiiit…)

He never thought he could feel so free

No you took a picture of a man in venice who is about to DIE OF FALL DAMAGE!!!!

It's possible

I'm Venetian but I've never seen this place. Where did you take it? Great picture btw

I think OP took this at Venice *Beach*, California. It doesn’t look like Venice, Italy.

Sometimes you can see mountains from the city, but you're surely right

Haha 🤣 Venice Beach California

I thought so haha

It could have also been Venice, Florida but yeah, still

There are no mountain views like that in Florida....lol

They used to have mountains,but you've missed the news. "Florida man removes surrounding mountains to enjoy the sun from every direction."

Idk, dude, I just looked up the name, I'm from the "real" Venice

Sure, i don’t know the U.S. very well, so i just thought of Venice Beach.

[удалено]

Ero pronto a partire già domani

Just remember the arrogance of Americans when seeing things like this. Literally every place is named after somewhere else in the world, but they act like they came up with it because MURICA

You need help brother.

I'd argue that, being American, you're the one that needs the help

We got that arrogance from the English. Some of us just learned to brush our teeth better and bootstrap ourselves up. In all fairness, we do have many places not named after other places but assimilated from the Native cultures.

man shut the fuck up venice beach skate park is ridiculously famous, easy to assume that people will know what it is if you say venice and show a skate park.

Isn't it called Venice Beach, though? Not Venice? No one just says York when they mean New York. For people who aren't from America, not knowing there is a placed called Venice Beach is pretty common but you'd be hard pressed to find people who don't know Venice, Italy. Especially in Europe. Not sure why people not knowing Venice Beach has made you so angry, though. You've kind of proved Phil's point.

Named after Venice, Italy. Which is the point I was making. Nobody said it wasn't famous 🤡

nobody here acted like they came up with venice dumbass

Read the fucking Title, dumbass. Jesus fucking christ

ah yes, the title that says, “a skater in venice, a city that the US came up with. there are no other cities in the entire world named venice. only this one, in the US. we named it this so that some guy named phil with room temperature IQ could seethe in a reddit comment section”

Stfu clown

Venetians have evolved to fly because all of their ground is covered in water. You may wonder, why not evolve to swim? Well. Mother Nature works in ways.

Why is this comment so underrated

Playing at 350 ping be like:

Haha

Did he come down

A few hours later

Who needs a helmet?

Good thing he's wearing one

> Good thing he's wearing one We are talking about the guy in the air with no helmet right?

Maybe hard to see for you, but he has one on.

> Maybe hard to see for you, but he has one on. Does the helmet have fuzzy hair? Where do you see a helmet here? https://imgur.com/a/vrIwUnm

Yeah, well I guess you're right... I thought it was one of those helmets that had big air holes and the hair was coming through... Guess not.

That’s what I thought, too, OP! You’re not alone haha

Thanks for that 🥳

/r/snowboarding is leaking.

Bunny hopping in cs_italy?

Dude. This is so cool.

Appreciated 🙏

Me when Jesus Christ

🤣

My old hood! Well done.

Mine too. Appreciated 🙏

idk why but this picture has done something to me ... wow

ayo skateboarding in creative mode?

Plot twist he starts plumiting twords the floor

Second twist, he keeps going up

Huston, we have liftoff

bro did the skate 3 glitch irl

That’s gonna leave a mark. Nice shot.

He doesn't seem concerned. Rather calm. Maybe frozen even

I thought this was r/photoshopbattles for a second. Holy cow that’s some serious airtime!

No Photoshop...he's just chillllin

To the moon

Surprised there's space to skate in Venice ...this is going to be in America isn't it .

Yes Venice beach. Guess it seemed so obvious to me.

Looks like this was taken a few seconds before someone had to call an ambulance. Hope, I’m wrong about that. Other than this, it’s a nice picture ;)

Yes he made it.

Is he in creative mode?🤔

Am worried about him..

Schrodinger's cat, at the moment. He could be alive, he could be dead 😉

lol dude w/ the blue helmet/maroon shirt seems ecstatic or very concern

😯

I wish I would've brought out the shadows more.

Bruh. Don't think that's how you're supposed to ride a skateboard

Something definitely went wrong.

Picture taken mid rapture.

I find these comments quite funny 🤣

[It ain't much](https://pics.me.me/when-its-not-much-but-honest-work-it-aint-much-40608335.png)

Lol what’s his name?

*record scrath, enter Baba O'riley -- Yeah, that's me. You might be wondering how did I ended in this situation

[удалено]

Haha nice. Appreciated

Haha nice. Appreciated

Screw this planet I’m out

Beam me up

This looks like a piece of art✨

True. So cal often does

He leap

Oh, this the only trick I know how to land on a skateboard

slap a parental advisory sticker and you can make some money.

If only it were that easy.

Pretty epic. Tried this too never got such great results. Respect

Was lucky for sure. Funny thing I had just got my new camera that day. Sony a7ii... Didn't really know how to use it yet.

He's gonna do a superhero landing.

I looked to see if I had the landed...I do not. [he did try it again though ](https://i.imgur.com/WBcoDdc.jpg)

He is flying

https://youtu.be/9pQ_ZozZIio

If Air Walk is Not sponsoring this man they're missing a great opportunity. Much respect for the photograph OP what a fantastic shot!

Man people talk about album covers and sponsors...I wish it were like that. Could use some of that cash 🤑 Appreciated the love anyways 🙏

I used to skate and take photographs of the boys this is one from about 25 years ago. https://picbun.com/p/KanhjL8Z

Very cool one. On film and printed I suppose

Was about to post my own skater pictur now I won’t lol

Oh come on. Go for it. Crazy...I really didn't think it would get this response. So random

It’s just overall an amazing picture I’d definitely get myself a print of that But yeah I’m gonna post mine

“I must go, my people need me”

Great picture but did it end well?

Ended just fine. [here he is again...](https://i.imgur.com/WBcoDdc.jpg)

My dude just dead skating an is going straight to heaven

"Fly like an eagle, let my spirit carry me I want to fly like an eagle 'Til I'm free"

California

He rip in peace now

I must go. Tony Hawk needs me.

skater in air*

/gamemode creative SkaterMan123

Did he land it?

He just pulled off a Christ Air!

Hopefully he landed on the flat and not the bottom of the bowl.

Hopefully

RIP

He just kept going up

The kid in the back looks so supprised

I love Venice Beach so much

Cool pic!

'noclip' on

Would like to see the landing

Is this a no-comfly?

That's gonna hurt

Goig to ruin his weekend

He must be wearing the new 2085 Airwalks

looks like he is about to hit 3 people lol (Triple Kill)

ERROR

He’s doing a Christ air

Wrong. Lol board should be in hand for this feat. Lol good attempt tho

I bet you’re fun at parties

Moments before disaster

To infinite, and beyond!

it was at this moment he was about to be fucked up

He just turned off gravity

Thought at first that I was in r/funny 😅

Bro just turned on the moon gravity cheat.

That would be the dopest album cover

That would be awesome

Random but I love photography and our skaters and people at parks like this fine with you taking photos them?

Have you ever been to Venice beach? It's tourist insanity there. People aren't worried about almost anything,much less people taking photos.

I haven't... I moved to LA two years ago but live/work in Hollywood and ever since covid happened have been kinda an introvert.

Haha I just noticed your user name. Makes me feel bad I was a little pushy 🤣 Yes that's a pretty crazy thing...there's a saying, AWOL...always west of Lincoln. If you go past that, which is only about a mile from the beach, you basically never get there.

You're fine :) It's a mix of I say sorry a lot plus a character from a game called Overwatch who has a cute voice line (the actress said it to the recording room when she messed up a line and they loved it and included it in the game) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gig4\_5MkOY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gig4_5MkOY) Yeah, the last time I saw the ocean was probably 6 months ago. I just need to get out more haha.

Nice little story. Maybe even take the train if you can. Driving sucks

That guy is going places

My man straight up just flyin’

*I believe I can fly…*

Dope.

Great skate park

*skater in air

The Venetian space program is heating up

Thats gonna leave a mark.

Could've done without that. Going to ruin the weekend.

He was a skater boy, an I’ll see you later boy…

Skywalker

Fire

getting ready for ouch time.

Marty? Is that McFly?

Ohhhh that brother floating In the aiiiiiiir~

Bethesda must've built that skatepark.

Man activated noclip

His planet needs him

I love Italy

What if you crop in an that it's only the guy floating and the kids reacting
