There was a kid longboarding in the town where I live, he ran a red light, he flipped off cars as they were honking at him, then a bus turned in front of him I believe, and he hit the bus on the side and was dragged for a while. He was in serious condition in the hospital, but I don't know if he has passed yet. Hope he makes it through.

i recently watched a kid die longboarding on a street in boulder. Probably the saddest thing I have ever witnessed, there was nothing anybody could do for the kid. PLEASEEEE WEAR YOUR FUCKING HELMETS is all i can say.

+vibes man

Freshman year of high school a friend of mine was longboarding and got clipped by the busses mirror and didn't end up pulling through, when somthing like that happens, even if your not that close to, still hits hard.
