  • Surferess, on 06/24/2008, -3/+63Publicity stunt?
    • Oranjy, on 06/24/2008, -2/+14no. just twatish behavior.
    • ufia, on 06/24/2008, -1/+9No, he just missed the short bus.
    • Vesuvias, on 06/25/2008, -3/+0I want to say it was the "Dump the Pump" day that OCTA was promoting... but honestly not a single person I know did it... everyone needs to skateboard the 405! Could you imagine how awesome roadrage would be...
    • dafragsta, on 06/25/2008, -1/+10Uuuh. This is possibly the lamest thing I've seen in a LOONG time to make the front page. Why does this have 450+ Diggs?
      • EASwanson, on 06/25/2008, -2/+4You see at Digg.com people submit different things and if someone likes it they "Digg" it so in this case about 450+ people thought it was amusing. kthx.
        • dafragsta, on 06/25/2008, -0/+1Yeah, well, you also see that Digg.com has a COMMENTS section and there are at least 100 comments saying that this sucks. I smell a fish. kthx
    • DroogInPhoenix, on 06/25/2008, -2/+5Even if it is a publicity stunt... Go drive the 405 freeway and get stuck in traffic, accidents happen, but traffic from some stupid ***** skateboarder? He should have his testicles removed with plyers and shoved up his ass.
    • se1zure, on 06/25/2008, -0/+5No just an inconsiderate douche giving skaters a bad name.

      Im not a skater, and I realize that most skaters aren't inconsiderate pricks like this guy. But many people wont make that same rationalization. Hence this guy is not only a douche for holding up thousands of cars, making people late for work, and possibly causing accidents. He is a douche because now thousands of more people have less respect for the skaters who choose to obey laws and be reasonable with their hobby.
    • happyseamonster, on 06/25/2008, -2/+1A statement against our over reliance on cars.
    • iziizi, on 06/25/2008, -1/+1I would have ran the ***** over. Just because he doesn't have a job, other people have places to be and people to see.
      • wellyuk, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1You wouldn't have run the ***** over.
    • toonworld, on 06/25/2008, -1/+2no, not a publicity stunt... a future Darwin Award Recipient.
  • michaelwong38, on 06/24/2008, -27/+5o.m.gawwwwwwwwwwwwd
  • terminalcode, on 07/31/2008, -7/+9not sure if it was a stunt, but surprised that the guy was not it, and traffic, should of been much different, weird, why were most of the lanes backed up and not just the one that the guy was skating on...interesting
    • Modestexcuse, on 06/24/2008, -2/+27It is quite possible that his friends set it up for safety reasons.
    • AressVeran, on 06/24/2008, -2/+1Yes. It should have been much different.
    • mentor972, on 06/24/2008, -0/+22Obvious that he had friends tie up traffic.
    • palmer, on 06/24/2008, -3/+16"should of been"

      What?

      And no, this is how people drive in the U.S. If one lane is tied up, the rest of the highway essentially stops dead for no reason.
    • DNABeast, on 06/25/2008, -0/+9It's called a rolling block. Street racers here in Brisbane do it late at night, then allow two cars through to race each other without fear of other traffic being involved.
  • openthink, on 06/24/2008, -5/+26Not sure, used too often, but dumbass might really work here.
  • caponumen, on 06/24/2008, -3/+116Look mommy, a huge splattered possum, with a skateboard up it's ass.
    • VgRasta, on 06/24/2008, -2/+6Get away from it, honey. You don't want to catch a disease, do you?
  • luke16, on 06/24/2008, -3/+10For a commercial maybe?
  • pastr, on 06/24/2008, -6/+64it was GO SKATEBOARDING DAY.
    21 june
    • Vesuvias, on 06/25/2008, -7/+0YEAAH thats what it was! This coincided with the 'Dump the Pump' week!
    • Vodd9, on 06/25/2008, -1/+4And *****!
      I missed it again.
      • jonshipman, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2me too

        Go skateboarding month anyone?
  • jopoop, on 06/24/2008, -13/+7pastr's got it right. Just having fun messing around on Go Skate Day.
    • PabloMac, on 06/24/2008, -0/+6Yeah, that looked like "fun" to me, too. Or some other "F" word.
  • EASwanson, on 06/24/2008, -1/+149I'm pretty sure this is what happened: Get a bunch of your friends in different lanes on the 405 and stop at the same time allowing no further traffic to move. Then you have your friend jump out and skateboard for about 45 seconds while everyone waits. Wait with your radio and soon as you hear a call for the cops you get out of there... The End?
    • DaDrake, on 06/24/2008, -3/+24Serious douchebag if that happened.
    • decker12, on 06/24/2008, -1/+43That sounds about right to me. No way all those cars would just simply stop and hold the line for some moron out on a skateboard on the highway. Notice how the feeder lanes don't magically stop for him either, which eventually is why the stunt ended.
    • diablo75, on 06/24/2008, -7/+2How gay!
  • EatingPie, on 06/24/2008, -9/+228Color me not impressed.

    On Go Skateboarding Day, the guy turns thousands of people against skateboarders by doing something totally stupid, and then flipping all the drivers off behind him. And it took no skill at all.

    -Pie
  • aimhelix, on 06/24/2008, -3/+17If that was in NY he'd be dry tomato juice by now.
  • Hootiehoo, on 06/24/2008, -5/+70*****
  • Ramza32, on 06/24/2008, -12/+16Damn sweet supra @ 50.
    • hmphargh, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1You can barely see the supra, but I was guessing it might be the getaway car if needed.
  • MonumentMan, on 06/24/2008, -3/+94what an *****
  • poet, on 06/24/2008, -8/+39Pretty lame. Buried as such.
  • buddypriefert, on 06/24/2008, -11/+5Rather than wait bumper to bumper in that hot mess, I would have mowed him over, just enough to hurt him, not kill him.

    Also, with that annoying music, why doesn't shredordie.com allow you to fully mute that crap?
    • tutfire, on 06/24/2008, -2/+4It's the freaking Beatles. Why would you ever want to mute it?
    • EricSchC1, on 06/25/2008, -0/+1The 405 is a hot bumper to bumper mess with or without a skateboarder holding up the show.
  • gharding, on 06/24/2008, -1/+5At least the bikers didn't have to have 4 cars come in to block most of the lanes.
  • Ockniel, on 06/24/2008, -6/+4Why did all the traffic stop? there were frikkin cars going on the access road to avoid him. I can't help but think that these people were under the impression that he was a bomb.
    • HyperionHK, on 06/24/2008, -1/+6those cars in the 3-4 stopped lanes are most likely his friends and part of the plan. Would have been better if he were just run over
    • EricSchC1, on 06/25/2008, -3/+1California is a pedestrian-right-of-way state. Skateboards aren't considered vehicles, maybe?
  • pandikukka, on 06/24/2008, -2/+6You Fracking Son of a biitch

    *Saul Tigh*
  • smacksaw, on 06/24/2008, -0/+129Like that's what 405 traffic really needs.
  • svensksvamp, on 06/24/2008, -0/+35Dumbest ***** ever.
  • TwistyMcFister, on 06/24/2008, -1/+19Uhhhh wow. I can run on the 405 in South OC and probably go faster than traffic and not get caught.
    • tundra721, on 06/25/2008, -1/+1That's next to South Coast Plaza which is actually considered North county. Not that it matters though...he's still a dingleberry.
  • buddypriefert, on 06/24/2008, -17/+9F***ing brat. This is a good example of why people hate Americans....pubescent American's especially.
    • VgRasta, on 06/24/2008, -1/+7I have a hard time pronouncing words with asterisks.
    • D0m0kun, on 06/24/2008, -0/+4See Spot run's.
    • pktgumby, on 06/24/2008, -0/+6Yep, I've never in my life seen a non-American do something stupid. So, I guess we are in agreement....carry on.
    • itsthebrod, on 06/25/2008, -0/+3Look *****, I'm an American and I hate that skateboarding prick even more than you probably. At least I'm not willingly censoring myself like a *****.
  • phyx726, on 06/24/2008, -1/+9Natural selection at work.
    • PsychoDesigns, on 06/24/2008, -1/+5It's not really natural selection unless he got run over which he would've deserved. This is just another case of a retard begging for attention screwing up the thoughtful and considerate people around who chose not to run him over.
      • pktgumby, on 06/24/2008, -0/+11There are no thoughtful or considerate people on the 405.
        • mykalimba, on 06/25/2008, -1/+0The fact that the skateboarder made to the end of the video without being run over contradicts your point.
  • FeartheKnighted, on 06/24/2008, -4/+46I was really hoping someone would hit him.
  • buddypriefert, on 06/24/2008, -1/+16Amazing to look at the comments where they posted the video. All of the "Awesome" "Way to go" "Amazing"

    Yeah....this guy is a real hero. He must be proud of his following.
  • Liquidfire3240, on 06/24/2008, -14/+1Best part of the video right there.
    • sparkplug890, on 06/24/2008, -0/+0Buried for lack of a full sentence.
  • rinote, on 06/24/2008, -1/+10I would like to petition to keep pedestrians off our freeways.
    • DlGG, on 06/24/2008, -0/+8I think there are already laws for that.
      • Oranjy, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1Haha
      • EricSchC1, on 06/25/2008, -0/+1From my previous post: "California is a pedestrian-right-of-way state."
  • AlienMushroom, on 06/24/2008, -8/+10I'd run this moron over.
    • badjoke, on 06/24/2008, -3/+9God you're cool.
    • teesix, on 06/24/2008, -2/+2Then you sir, would be the moron.
    • kevinwiz, on 06/25/2008, -0/+3no you wouldn't
    • yacks, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2personally.. i'd cut him off.. then slam on the brakes.. just like everyone else does on the 405 on that stretch. but seriously.. this was a completely stupid stunt.. way to ruin the image of skateboarders everywhere.. It's bad enough that a lot of skateboard have zero respect for laws endangering lives.. Imagine if you would if this traffic stop created a situation where the traffic stopped right away which If you ever travelled the 405 you would know it happens. I was in a 3 car accident in that same area because the traffic stop abruptly and the car behind me hit me.. pushing me into the car ahead of me.. Now if that were to happen because of this stunt and it caused a death.. I'm sure you'd be facing involuntary manslaughter just so you can say you skateboarded the 405.
    • Monkeydew06, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2Vehicular homicide... brilliant idea.
  • londonflare, on 06/24/2008, -0/+11I was expecting something impressive (i.e. at least something I couldn't of wouldn't do) such as weaving through busy traffic. But he was in effect just skating on an empty road. Lame.
  • db0255, on 06/24/2008, -1/+4The real question is when did the guy get arrested?
    • pktgumby, on 06/24/2008, -0/+5Are you kidding? Nobody wants to sit in 405 traffic, not even cops.
  • FattJesus, on 06/24/2008, -1/+19Douche would be too kind of a word for this guy. This guy is a bidet.
    • DaHuuuuuudge, on 06/25/2008, -0/+6Actually, I wouldn't even let this kid wipe my ass, so a bidet is above him.
  • jplevel, on 06/24/2008, -3/+8wow... the 405 is actually going quite fast while he is doing it! (for the 405 that is)
  • db0255, on 06/24/2008, -1/+5Oh and all the traffic stopped because he had 5 guys in cars stopped in each lane at the same time.
  • catjackson, on 06/24/2008, -8/+2Traffic sucks enough as it is, so part of me wants to really hate this *****, but I have to admit; if I had been in one of the cars behind him I'd have been laughing my ass off and cheering him on.
    • ratboy4001, on 06/24/2008, -0/+2If gas wasn't so expensive, I would have been laughing hysterically.
      • gandhii, on 06/24/2008, -2/+1you're burning less gas when you're idling.....
        • DaHuuuuuudge, on 06/25/2008, -0/+3You're also not going anywhere, and you'll still have to eventually.
        • Monkeydew06, on 06/25/2008, -0/+1Time expended with no benefit is not money earned, and I imagine in California heat they have their AC on high which expends energy as well, so... your point is invalid.
    • catjackson, on 06/24/2008, -1/+0Ah...yeah. Good point. Maybe he should've done it in Venezuela? :)

      http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/global_gasp ...
  • Thrilltone, on 06/24/2008, -4/+14Why doesn't he just climb up on a table and scream; "Notice me! Notice MEEEEEE!!" ?
  • formergthing, on 06/24/2008, -2/+18Suddenly I just want to buy Etnies merchandise and I don't know why!
    • yacks, on 06/25/2008, -0/+1I want to buy Etnies merchandise now and strew them across the 405 freeway.
  • crapmatic, on 06/24/2008, -9/+1Is there a "shopped" verb for video? This is not real. Everyone behind the front line looked rather patient and orderly.
    • snowcrazy, on 06/25/2008, -0/+1You my friend are an idiot!
    • Monkeydew06, on 06/25/2008, -0/+1If this is indeed shopped. How, may I ask, did the video editor get a video of the 405, empty, from those angles, with that sort of lighting (which suggests that it is in the afternoon), in addition to those vehicles reacting perfectly to the situation? Your a ***** moron if you think this could be shopped, or just a really annoying troll.
  • oxygen911, on 06/24/2008, -4/+13Yeah that's a really great way to represent your sport and have people take you seriously....

    You think anyone is going to give you guys sympathy when some cop goes ape ***** on you guys now for skating in a public park?

    See the light at the end of the tunnel guys, come on.
    • kuppoppo, on 06/25/2008, -4/+3But...this is what skateboarding is all about! FIGHT THE POWER!! ***** THE RIAA!!
    • maadmonkey, on 06/25/2008, -2/+4I skate and I think this guy is retarded. way to make old people hate us more jerkoff!
  • sencity, on 06/24/2008, -1/+11that was an exercise in annoyance.

    would have been more impressive if he was going against the flow of traffic.
    • Goblin, on 06/24/2008, -0/+10Probably would have been shorter, too.
  • GoKings, on 06/24/2008, -1/+33I thought he was actually going to be holding on to a car and skateboarding, which would have been insane. This is just some jackass that held up traffic. I'm surprised somebody didn't go out there and beat the ***** out of him; it would have made for a more entertaining video.
  • seventhc, on 06/24/2008, -0/+7The end of the video will probably be on liveleak soon. ;)
  • mnemy, on 06/24/2008, -3/+16It's too bad that dumbass didn't get his ass shot. Traffic on the 405 is already balls. Your stupid ass friends all stopping in a line so you can get out and skateboard on the freeway safely just cause a huge ***** traffic jam, and possibly accidents from people coming into the back of the jam too fast and slamming on their brakes too fast for the person behind them to stop in time.

    I hope I see you again in one of those skateboarding accident videos you selfish bastard.
    • yacks, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2Just hope no one did get in an accident.. and died because of this..
  • duffy89, on 06/24/2008, -2/+8That wasn't impressive at all
  • CaptainChad, on 06/24/2008, -2/+3Here's the obligatory reference to Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash" novel.

    Would definitely have been better if he'd been holding on to the cars to keep him going.
  • chrgrose, on 06/24/2008, -2/+10Kind of a dick move, to ***** up traffic like that. You know thats going to stall people way behind him for about an hour.
  • Vanzetti, on 06/24/2008, -2/+8That is just ***** stupid. Why back traffic up? I don't skateboard and I could do that *****, it's just annoying, not amazing.
  • JustinHopewell, on 06/24/2008, -1/+10What a jackass. If you're going to hold up all that traffic, do something dangerous. Make it worth your while. This is your 15 minutes?
  • swrostmore, on 06/24/2008, -8/+3Why isn't he sketching? Pussy.
    • palmer, on 06/24/2008, -0/+9The term is SKITCHING.
      • swrostmore, on 06/24/2008, -4/+1meh, close enough. it's not like 99% of diggers will know what I'm talking about.
        • dafragsta, on 06/25/2008, -1/+2meh, you are wrong. Most of them have played Tony Hawk. How many times have you been sketching... pussy? Was Axl Rose talking about you when he said "you've gone sketchin' too many times?" Why don't you give it a raaaayyyeeeeessssst? Why must you find another reason to cry?

          Sorry... my freaky trivial lyric retention took over there. It's got a mind of it's own sometimes.
        • swrostmore, on 06/25/2008, -1/+1You can't "skitch" in Tony Hawk. You can grind cars tho.
        • Tony611, on 06/25/2008, -0/+1stop being wrong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skitching

          it says you can in tony hawk right there. now why don't you stop while you're behind?
    • Vesuvias, on 06/25/2008, -0/+5Because he doesn't have a ....pencil?

  • Crossmenjeff, on 06/24/2008, -1/+1as if traffic wasn't bad enough beforehand
