Driveway

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

A couple of times as a kid we had ice storms that allowed us to skate in our driveway.

My current driveway has an incline like that and I have slide a ways going out there a time or two, but nothing as far as in your gif.  Is that you by any chance?  Whoever it is did fairly well.

Damn, you fell hard there...are you okay?

 

[Weebs210]

Is this you?

That panic as he saw the car was so pure.

 

 

[Psychopav]

That wasn't black ice, Santa tripped him.

There is no feeling more defeating then that moment when you realize you're just not going to keep it together and you just have to try to figure out how to go down without killing yourself.  I had it yesterday.  Arms pinwheeling, feet scrambling, and after what felt like 15 seconds (but was less than a second), I just had to say "Oh, #### it" and try not to hit my head.

Went down at the end like a sack of potatoes

Pull up! Pull up!

I am fascinated with how the resolution of the crack traversing the driveway improves as the gif rolls on.

Great, now I am too.

I'm sorry.

Believe or not, someone covered this exact .gif in the "Is this shuke?" thread last night. 

Check mate, bostonfred. 

 

[Ignoramus]

Knew what this was without clicking the video.

Dude's lucky he fell in the grass.

That's what he gets for carrying a backpack to work as a grown ### man.

I'll say what I said in the other thread.  That guy is unfortunate he did notice the regular ice on his driveway.

Let me guess, you're one of those masculine satchel guys?

What the hell is wrong with backpack bags??

 

[Bob Sacamano]

If that backpack were made of clear plastic, but it had something blue behind it, would it be a blue bag?

Yeah backpack so much better than a dumb shoulder bag for business travel

 

[The_Man]

Guy should have taken a knee when he had a chance at the first hint of slipping. By trying to save it and not touch the ground at all, it ended up much worse

 

[rockaction]

Whatever happened to briefcases? Why do we need so many man pockets of canvas against our bespoke suits?

Because it was black.

I'm eating. I'm not kidding. I'm literally eating food right now and you dropped that. 

You just ruined your other thread, dang it.

Agreed, conditional on the pant suits.

I still carry a backpack.  Can't fit my music in grandpa's briefcase.

 

[McJose]

... Of a Honda. This is the third thread its been posted in. 

I was firsties.

Canvas? Are we going sailing? 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Murse?

 

[rockaction]

Canvas? Are we going sailing? 

I know. Canvas against your suit looks like you're wearing sneakers with it, too.

Nothing like a nice leather briefcase.

Growing up on a half-dozen acres in rural Mass, we had a long undulating driveway to a rather lightly trafficked street. We'd often intentionally "Foot ski" like that video.. usually ending up with badly bruised tailbone (at best), tangled and bleeding in a briar patch, or mildly concussed (worst case). 

I also recall my brother and I figuring out that if we broke the back wheels off our "Big Wheels" we could "sled" down the icy driveway with a VERY slight bit of control induced by pedaling/turning the front plastic wheel frantically in the desired direction. The folks replaced the big wheels the following summer... we tore the wheels off again the following winter.

Thus, the era of the bigwheel ended. RIP. 

 

 

[shuke]

Because it was black.

Actually, it wasn't.

If all that salt was on the driveway he never would have slipped

He was on crack?

How is that not just ice on his dark colored driveway?  Why are we using the term 'black ice' here?

Happened to me the other day coming out of the Optometrist's office,  Left foot slid out in front of me...right knee bent and hit the ground hard.  I never went down the rest of the way, but skinned up my knee pretty good.
