People widely praise skateboarding and skaters for pulling off insane stunts in any and every area they can find. They possess great athleticism and pristine control over their skateboards, which allows them to perform mind-boggling stunts. The ease with which they perform these tricks certainly makes it seem like anyone could pull them off, but that is far from the truth.

They don’t need a particular space to show off their skateboarding skills. Be it a normal busy road, a skate park, a mall, or even the subway, all they need is their skateboard and a solid surface. A viral video of one such insane skateboarding stunt is doing rounds on social media.

Uploaded on X by the page ‘Jomboy Media’, the video showed a brave skateboarder traveling down an escalator. Any normal person would assume that he walked down the escalator, but skaters do it differently. The man on board his skateboard made his way down in speed before leaping over the security gates in the subway.

It looked like he lost control due to his momentum, but he buckled up and showed great skill and composure. He almost crashed into a lady, but saved himself and her by slowing down. He made his way into the lift nonchalantly, walking off after pulling off not one but multiple insane stunts.

Just yesterday, a viral video of a young boy trying to pull off an insane stunt on a BMX went viral. Only this time, the boy could not finish with the same level of ease that the skater did in this clip. He jumped off a flight of stairs and tried to perform a smooth landing, but it failed. He hit the ground awkwardly and fell unconscious on the floor.
