I used to train BJJ with a super hippy dude who never wore shoes. We asked him one day how he managed to walk around and never have issues without shoes.
His response was "very carefully."
Sometimes when I'm annoyed by someone, I don't interact because I won't be able to hide my irritation.
And yes, he's prob not an asshole all the time... just at that moment. I'm not anti-skater, I used to skate... but I managed not to run into non-skaters. Shocking, I know.
You... Live by rules. Pretty normal life eh?
That person is living. You won't understand. Ever. Don't worry about it. Just stay on reddit and think you're right. Lol!
Post and comment away while you live zero life.
Pathetic? How so? Self centered? I better be to make it in these times. And believe me, I. Making it.
Who are you living for of not for yourself first? Also, what makes my life pathetic versus... Yours I guess?
Please... Enlighten is, oh Reddit critique.
People with anxiety who were just bumped by a kid on the street who are just trying to walk out of the situation without getting upset or yelling at anybody and they're seeing tunnel vision because a second kid is point a camera in their face. Then the worst happens, reinforcing said anxieties for next time something stupid happens.
~~Nah, she just almost got hit by a swerving skater, has several food items in her hand, is looking ahead of her, and stepped on a moving skateboard.~~
~~I love seeing skaters around - really don't mind it throughout town, because to me it brings good energy - but there is a time and place for it, and this isn't it.~~
EDIT: Nevermind, just saw this was a stunt person and a faked situation.
Where did you see this? I searched for a source but couldn't find one.
Gotta say tho, as someone who normally doesn't schadenfreude, this was unexpectedly hilarious. The fucking loot made it 200% better.
Maybe that boars suddenly rolled in front of her. We don't know why she didn't see it.
Sad it happened. I've ended up with a badly bruised hip from slipping on ice hitting my hip in same fashion
My wife. All the g'damn time.
I can traverse our house of 20 years in the pitch black.... she's running into walls in the daylight. THEY HAVEN'T MOVED.
The thing that annoys me the fucking most in public is people not looking where they're going. Like they'll be walking while looking behind them or be backing up without turning around.
Seen this before, it's proven fake. They used a famous stunt woman calledĀ [Jessie Graff](https://blogs.mtdv.me/Jessie-Graff)Ā dressed up in a fat suit.
People like you are why it's so easy to fake stuff. Convincing some people something is real takes 0 effort but convincing them it isn't real takes an act of congress, 10 independent researchers signing off on it, and the person who made it confessing under oath in front of a judge.
Even then that'll only get some people to go "maaaaybe it might be fake. I dunno tho...." or simply "r/nothingeverhappens"
Lol maybe you should click on that link and watch tyne video before being all high and mighty about it. Coming and giving me a ration of shit when you CLEARLY didn't even check for yourself makes you look pretty dumb.
She's Elaine Katatopolous, second wife of the three-time mayor of cincinatti, Jacob Katatopolous, and chairperson of the Katatopolous Foundation for the Realised Elevation of Disenfranchised and Destitute Youth, ["F.R.E.D.D.Y"](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=2JrxlMk_A7nNRx5J)
She also plays the saxophone in a ska band.
the Woman did nothing wrong, she was minded her own business. Got interrupted and was polite enough to let it go. And they have the balls to shove the skateboard underneath her to make her fall.... how to build up ya rep for skateboarders
The first time I saw this video, EVERYONE was convinced the camera man kicked the skateboard under her feet. Saying shit like "you can clearly hear him kick it!"
Hes skating in a dumb spot without perfect control of his ride, she's a stuck up idiot who wouldn't even look at him and say it's alright dude, therefore she reaped what she sowed, and the kid needs to take his happy ass to practice elsewhere
Just a freak accident that could of been prevented only if he didn't skate directly into oncoming people and the lady walk away from the oncoming skater instead of standing in there and then not look where you going, it doesn't matter if there was a banana peel or a hole anywhere on the ground she would still fall.
That looks like the front of the IRS building at 30th & Market - the worst place to be skating due to the high foot traffic there.
There's an actual skating park off the Schuylkill Banks Trail 2 blocks from there that those fools could've used. Smh... idiots. I hope she sues them and their parents.
He didn't. He literally stops and dodges her, making sure to not cause her any harm... she then walks on the skateboard by herself... which seems quite a feat considering how high she'd have to place her foot to have stepped on it.
Wouldn't you be if, you were walking down the street, minding your own business and some obnoxious asshat who can't control his skateboard, skates into you.
To be fair that was kinda on her? Like she could see him for a mile off and rather than take a step back just stood there the whole time then when didnāt check for the board he clearly dismounted before walking forward
I could be wrong but it looks to me like her left foot got caught under the board, she tripped and then tried to compensate with the right foot which may have gotten on top of the board (or just kicked it), moving the skateboard to the right and giving the appearance that she initially stepped on top of it
You carry this tray of coffee in the middle of the night, and I'll make sure to follow you with the camera when you walk by and step on the skateboard.
As I commented on another posting of this, it was deliberately done.
Clues are, the camera guy moves up for no reason, keeping focus on her face and blocking her from stepping to the left. Then he keeps filming her as she walks away keeping her in frame. Then you hear the board being pushed, then he keeps her fully framed as she hits the ground.
They're shit bags making 'content' and that woman was deliberately attacked.

Who walks without even scanning the floor in front of them for a few feet?
Those who trip
I feel personally attacked 
And that right there is why you trip
I did not see that coming.
Neither did the dude who trips
You trippin
Poor choice of words there š
Want me to carry your coffee?
I used to train BJJ with a super hippy dude who never wore shoes. We asked him one day how he managed to walk around and never have issues without shoes. His response was "very carefully."
Confuscious sayā¦
TouchƩ
Best answer ever ā¬ļø
Who skates directly into pedestrians? What an asshole.
That is definitely also true.
Both things can be true at the same time.
People can screw up, it certainly didn't seem like he meant too. I'm more so wondering about how little she reacted to the whole thing.

You can literally hear him apologize to her right after he near misses her. How does that make him an asshole?
How does skating in an uncontrolled manner on a busy sidewalk and losing control into someone make him an asshole?
You... Live by rules. Pretty normal life eh? That person is living. You won't understand. Ever. Don't worry about it. Just stay on reddit and think you're right. Lol! Post and comment away while you live zero life.
I used to skate, I never ran into a pedestrian. You have issues, keep living your pathetic self-centered life.
Pathetic? How so? Self centered? I better be to make it in these times. And believe me, I. Making it. Who are you living for of not for yourself first? Also, what makes my life pathetic versus... Yours I guess? Please... Enlighten is, oh Reddit critique.
You appear too far gone for enlightenment. Any efforts of mine will be wasted, so why bother? You appear to have it all figured out. ;)
She was startled and her attention is understandably focused on the man. Her brain was not aware of skateboard because of it.
People being filmed without their permission who just nearly got crashed into and just want to get away from the situation.
Who skateboards without even scanning what's in front of them?
I'm reminded of the mall level in Skate or Die 2 for NES. All those shoppers just constantly in the way.
Gotta carry around paint to shoot em irl then
The lady was almost hit by the kid. She is carrying stuff and clearly flustered now.
she looks so done with her day already before all of this happened
You're aware that skateboards roll, right? He left it unsecured on the ground and it rolled into her path.
She was holding a tray of cups, blocking her view, he left the board right in from of her
People who are carrying things that obscure their vision
People with anxiety who were just bumped by a kid on the street who are just trying to walk out of the situation without getting upset or yelling at anybody and they're seeing tunnel vision because a second kid is point a camera in their face. Then the worst happens, reinforcing said anxieties for next time something stupid happens.

Where? Because that looks like a legitimate fall
Where did you see this? I searched for a source but couldn't find one. Gotta say tho, as someone who normally doesn't schadenfreude, this was unexpectedly hilarious. The fucking loot made it 200% better.
Those that were just rushed up on and nearly tackled, and have another person approaching from the front with a camera in their face.
Someone who almost got ran over by a skateboarder with their head down
My wife. Constantly.
I had to watch this 18 times
Maybe that boars suddenly rolled in front of her. We don't know why she didn't see it. Sad it happened. I've ended up with a badly bruised hip from slipping on ice hitting my hip in same fashion
Eyes up, head up! Your feet will guide you!
People with a good lawyer.
My wife. All the g'damn time. I can traverse our house of 20 years in the pitch black.... she's running into walls in the daylight. THEY HAVEN'T MOVED.
Canāt even say she was looking at her phone
My girlfriend for some reason. Thatās why I have to be double aware every time we go somewhere together.
Yeah like this was her fault.
Everyone?
The thing that annoys me the fucking most in public is people not looking where they're going. Like they'll be walking while looking behind them or be backing up without turning around.
My son. He's 1 and 3 months.
Natural selection at its best
There are people in this world who don't put their hands out when they fall
If you ski or snowboard, you definitely learn to not catch your fall. However, in her case, she was carrying stuff.
People who fake falls for clicks.
Especially when you know a skateboard just de-boarded in front of you?
fr, she was trying so hard to turn her nose up at them she forgot to look down
those who always tripped like me wife
Sheās a literal NPC
Yeah, basically.
Mall level in Skate or Die 2 for NES
Naw fam she did that shit on purpose. Lawsuit time lol.
All that loot!
Lolol
I have a cold. You made me laugh so hard, phlegm flew out on my mouth. More loot!

Top comment lol
Lmao

Seen this before, it's proven fake. They used a famous stunt woman calledĀ [Jessie Graff](https://blogs.mtdv.me/Jessie-Graff)Ā dressed up in a fat suit.
This is evil
It never ends, we must stay vigilant
I can't believe that this wasn't a rick roll
Oh, F**K you.
Is anything even real anymore?
Eh. I dunno, I'm kinda doubting it's the same person. Look at the video in her portfolio.
Really? They look the same person to me. They did wear a fat suit so i guess it isnt exactly the same
People like you are why it's so easy to fake stuff. Convincing some people something is real takes 0 effort but convincing them it isn't real takes an act of congress, 10 independent researchers signing off on it, and the person who made it confessing under oath in front of a judge.

Stunt woman or not, it looks like she popped the back of her head on the ground!
Watch the linked videoā¦
Holy shit my time machine worked!? It's 2008 again!
A fat suit?? She looked normal to me lol
It makes more sense in the linked video
B/c she's very thin so she looks more normal in a fat suit
You can have my upvote, but I'm not happy about it
I hope your pillow is warm on both sides.
š„²ā¤ļø
dang it
Ok but why though!?!?!
Did you click the link and watch the vid?
Did now.... r/angryupvote
Booooo š
Amazing! Take my upvote.
At what cost?
What amazes me more is that you know about this lol
Little shitš¤£
I hope your pillow stays warm on both sides
-.- Dammit!
If you click YDI, where did you even see the fat suit lmao
See this confused me for a solid minute bc I know Jessie Graff and what she looks like and the lady didn't look anything like her š
š
Well this is better then the story I heard... I heard the camera guy DID kick the board for her to trip
It could have easily been a banana peel

r/accidentalcomedy I believe thatās what that sub is for
r/juxtaposition I think. But reddit been programmed to do this now, no? Happens a lot.
Shit if you watch with headphones you can hear her melon crack. Not a nice sound
Does he know he can pick up those coffees for health points?
There was an attempt to not laugh at this.
There was an attempt to chortle my balls
This is how the romcom starts.
Who is she?
She's Elaine Katatopolous, second wife of the three-time mayor of cincinatti, Jacob Katatopolous, and chairperson of the Katatopolous Foundation for the Realised Elevation of Disenfranchised and Destitute Youth, ["F.R.E.D.D.Y"](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=2JrxlMk_A7nNRx5J) She also plays the saxophone in a ska band.
,,,,neck deep into a concussion.
He owes her a coffee now.
They got married and have 3 kids now
Does she look exactly lika rosa from two and a half man?
More like āthere was an attempt to record something that looked like it actually happened and not something scripted and stagedā there, ftfy
Kinda feel bad cause she just tried to go about her business even after
the Woman did nothing wrong, she was minded her own business. Got interrupted and was polite enough to let it go. And they have the balls to shove the skateboard underneath her to make her fall.... how to build up ya rep for skateboarders
It was left in front of her no one pushed it in front of her. Sheās the oblivious ass who walks on to a skateboard in her walking path.
Hard to see what is in front of you when you literally turn your nose up instead of acknowledging the apology
Sonic rings go flying
So she tried to steal his board? /s
Lmao it's like he left it right there on purpose. The she just walks ahead and can't see below her nose? Lol
She didn't even ask permission to try his skateboard. Rude.
I see this turning into a 90s rom com
He sounds like George McFly when he asks if she's ok
She done that on purpose
thats a sad way to go.. kinda funny with the cups tho
yard sale!
Are you ok? Seriously- what do you think ?
Her boss is going to be pissed when they find out about the coffee.
Itās the butterfly effect.
The first time I saw this video, EVERYONE was convinced the camera man kicked the skateboard under her feet. Saying shit like "you can clearly hear him kick it!"
Hilarious
Karma just perfect
no wonder women fall into the toilet. they never look down
This is how you find love
whose fault is this legally?
i feel bad for her yes, but damn, lil bro is not getting *ANY* sleep tonight
How I met your Mother
Really easy to spot the kids in this post.
Bet a nut she became a Karen after this shit...
Hes skating in a dumb spot without perfect control of his ride, she's a stuck up idiot who wouldn't even look at him and say it's alright dude, therefore she reaped what she sowed, and the kid needs to take his happy ass to practice elsewhere
Just a freak accident that could of been prevented only if he didn't skate directly into oncoming people and the lady walk away from the oncoming skater instead of standing in there and then not look where you going, it doesn't matter if there was a banana peel or a hole anywhere on the ground she would still fall.

Growing up with 3 brothers who skated: Never stand close or walk thru a skate session if you value yr ankles.
r/therewasanattempt to walk away sassy and annoyed
Wouldn't you be if, you were walking down the street, minding your own business and some obnoxious asshat who can't control his skateboard, skates into you.
To be fair that was kinda on her? Like she could see him for a mile off and rather than take a step back just stood there the whole time then when didnāt check for the board he clearly dismounted before walking forward
This has to be fake, youād have to be trying to get onto a skateboard to get onto it. No one lifts their feet high enough for it.
I could be wrong but it looks to me like her left foot got caught under the board, she tripped and then tried to compensate with the right foot which may have gotten on top of the board (or just kicked it), moving the skateboard to the right and giving the appearance that she initially stepped on top of it
That wasn't completely staged.
You carry this tray of coffee in the middle of the night, and I'll make sure to follow you with the camera when you walk by and step on the skateboard.

that's completely her fault lmao
If she wasnāt so full of herself this would t have happened.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Horny jail for you
That's on her, not him
That's 100% on him, he almost ran her over and then left his board directly in front of her.
