1. No. No. A thousand times, no. I didn't bring enough band-aids and bactine for that.

20. That's more a mop-and-bucket scenario than a band-aid one. (nt)

The ramp in the OP picture is like the first ramp in the clip...it launches the skater into the main pipe.

10. I would do that in a heartbeat!
Except that, you know, I left my board at my parents' place... and these really aren't the right shoes for skating anyway...

16. I'll pass, takes too long to heal now.
But back when I was 16, indestructible, and never gonna die? Looks like a rush!

17. I'd do it if I had any idea how to do it without dying or getting really hurt.
I love heights, and falling. I just like not dying a little more.

19. The knee pads and gloves are a nice touch.
I'm all for safety but why is he bothering? I don't see how anything short of a medieval knight's armor looking suit could provide any real protection from a fall like that.
