Warning. In this video,
Dan gets a very real and very tragic boo-boo.
Well, there's no blood, but it really hurt.
Although you'll definitely agree with me,
it was totally worth it. Totally worth it.
( exhales sharply ) Can't say I'm not nervous.
'Cause you did you trick,
I now promised I would try...
and drop in.
I tell you what, if you manage to do this,
I'll try and drop in on this.
That might be the slow-mo highlight, though.
I don't wanna take your thunder away from you.
Yeah!
I'm not holding you to it.
I know you're not, but I'm--
I'm morbidly curious, but I'm not holding you to it.
Morbidly curious.
I think everyone watching this is gonna be morbidly curious.
Do you think you'll hurt yourself?
Oh, yeah. I just depends how much.
Any tips on how to do it?
Well, the whole idea is that
people go to drop in, and they don't commit,
and they, like, kind of lean back
and think that their board is going to do the work,
and they don't have to be on it,
and that ends up making them shoot out.
Yeah.
You wanna shift your weight
to your front foot until your wheels hit,
then even it out.
If you keep your weight going down,
you're just gonna end up going straight into the flat.
- I see. - So--
It would be damn impressive if you get it.
Well, I'm not going to. I'm clearly gonna fall off
and it's gonna look ridiculous in slow-mo, but, you know.
- All right. - There we go.
- Good luck, Dan. - Thank you.
Good luck!
Oh, man. This is stupid high.
Oh, man.
This is so high. Look.
They want me to walk off that?
- Oh, man. - It's really like an explosion.
Like, we don't truly know what will happen.
Good Lord.
( exhales )
( exhaling )
This is, uh, ridiculous.
Stop giving me a thumbs up as if I'm just about to do it at any point.
Like, A.D.'s over there, like, "Yeah, we're good to go."
Cameraman's laughing.
If there's any doubt, just go to your knees.
But the thing is, you've got to commit,
so how can I have doubt and commit at the same time?
If you choose the escape route, go to your knees.
( exhales )
Okay.
( exhaling )
I feel like an old man at the top of the step.
Medic on standby, yeah?
( exhales ) Almost did it then.
( laughter )
Tony: You could've fooled me.
Oh, funny.
I like that nothing happened,
and you went, "That was almost"--
Yeah, I didn't see the-- I didn't see the, like--
Well, you know, I just have to go pas--
I wasn't like, you know-- I wasn't like, "Whoa!"
You got it!
( exhaling )
- Oh, ho! - Oh! Jesus.
( groaning )
Are you all right?
- Are you in one piece? - Yeah, I think so.
That was-- that was awful.
- Hey. You committed. - That was-- amazing impact.
( Dan groans )
Flip.
That was very impressive.
I'm sure you're in a lot of pain,
but it was-- I am very impressed
- that you committed like that. - Thanks.
- Jesus. - How are you?
I'm not sure.
Gav: Do you feel-- Can you move all your limbs?
Yeah.
- That was gnarly! - That was crazy.
You hit so hard. That was phenomenal.
That's gonna look great in slow-mo.
- Great. - Are you with it?
I wanted to do it.
Did you fart on the way down?
Probably.
- Dan: Jesus. - All kinds of things could happen.
( exhales, groans )
So what's the most painful part of you? The hip?
Either the hips or the wrist, I'm not sure.
One of the two. Maybe the pride.
- Dude, that was legit. - That was ballsy.
Yeah, you really-- I mean, you-- you...
fully committed to a drop in.
There was no-- you did not back out in the least.
Maybe I should've tried it on the small one first.
Maybe.
But now we can look at the slow-mo
and see exactly what you did wrong.
You wanna take a look at it?
- Yeah, help me out of these. - All right.
This looks promising for a start.
- Tony:
Tony:
- Dan:
Tony:
- Gav:
- Dan:
Dan:
Now I'm just falling to the floor at this point.
Tony:
I really-- That's amazing.
Gav:
fall off a roof.
-
that wrist doesn't look good now.
- That was awful to look at. - Jesus.
How are you not more hurt?
That was one of the worst-case scenarios.
Oh, no, really?
-
Gav:
It's ten-foot in the air.
( all groan )
Gav:
Dan:
at that point.
That took-- That took some guts.
- Hey, I know-- - I couldn't not do it.
I know you didn't make it,
but I really was impressed that you tried.
And as a consolation, I want you to have the board
- that you actually-- - No! Are you kidding me?
- Yes. - Oh, my God.
- I'm gonna cry. - You deserve it.
If anyone deserves that board, you do.
No way!
That's amazing. Thank you so much.
Gav: That is colossally deserved.
Thank you so much. Oh, my God.
I mean, way to steal the thunder on my slow-mo clip, but...
- Oh, man. - Yeah.
Flipping 'A.
- Gav: Dan. - What?
What are we doing now?
Gonna get an x-ray for my wrist.
Uh, going to the emergency medical place.
Have you taken painkillers?
Yeah, I've taken a lot, actually, so--
He's already just had-- gave you a handful.
I've never taken more than two,
and he gave me, like, four.
And I was like, "Oh."
Gav: What if I slammed a high-five on it?
Oh.
That would, uh...
So I fractured my wrist.
- Gav: Hairline? - Uh, I'm not really sure.
I think it was, like-- well, it was, like,
in between a hairline and a normal fracture.
But you can see it clearly.
That, like, dark line there.
-
Oh, dear.
Hello again. We're gonna break stuff.
A lot of stuff.
Maybe even a limb or two.
Why does it have to be my limb?
Unfortunate. It's unfortunate.
