Well, he could have manualed to slow his speed while preserving his combo multiplier and avoiding the kid.

If some dumbass skater knocked my kid over because he wasn't looking ahead I would definitely have some nasty words for him. Punch him? Would depend on what mood I was on.

If some shitty parent let her kid roam freely in a skate park then who really deserves the punch?

what an irresponsible mother not putting a party hat on her kid, how was that skateboarder supposed to know otherwise?

Let's not forget you're a bad parent for letting your kid run around in a dangerous area like a skate park and instead of seeing how your kid is, your first reaction is to punch the skater.
Parents need to work on their anger management if that's their first reaction without thinking about any context.
Thats a fucking skate park, with grind rails. So no. My mom didn't take me to skate parks and let me run around unsupervised amongst a shitload of people zipping around on skateboards....
Don't act like this is a kids park with swings and monkey bars....

The kid wasn't in front of the skater, he ran into his path. Kid should take it as a life lesson not to run around like a dumbass. Kid probably would run in the street without looking, because his mother believes the world must stop behold every step her son takes on his birthday.
Sorry was reading through the thread page by page and was fuming after seeing that video lol.

I was digging around and could not really find much except that the 36 clip is going to be featured in a video by a skate group called "cold gravy".
BUT, while searching for more news I came across one of their videos
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gMVeTxfSBnY&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DgMVeTxfSBnY
I really love the trip hop beat in the first skate session. All I know is, is that the sample is H. Andrew's congregation's "I got to find myself another girl".
So I ask skate and music gaf could you take a listen and tell me what it is if you know? It starts at around 48 seconds.

Should have done a kickflip over him, then manualled over to the rail and grinded for maximum points.

Can't prove it until we have taken a DNA test, but she says it's her son...
You might want to watch the video again.

What a load of shit. Skateboarding isn't exclusive for pros. I can't fucking ollie without looking down, doesn't mean you get to tell me that I don't deserve to be skateboarding. Get off your high horse.
*edit* And I probably missed the obvious sarcasm.

I's ok to grab her, put a leg behind hers and "throw" her at the ground to prevent escalation. Besides, not hitting women is a rule to protect them. But if their stupid enough to start, and now everyone is going to tell me how i'm wrong, then i feel less sorry for a women getting beaten. I'm not saying i hit women but if they start to hit some guy (with her fist) and he's hitting her back i would not intervene unless it's getting out of control. You're at least allowed to throw someone to the ground if they fight you, or you can leave. But you have to do something. "You can't do anything" is bs, it's a unspoken rule created by society. I don't follow all made up rules, i follow the law and don't care what anyone thinks. You're don't have to be a human punching bag. Protecting women is good, but there is a limit.

If this happened at a skate park, then they all deserve each other.
If this happened out on the street, I'd bash that skater myself.

Jail for minor aggravated assault?
Plus most of these skateparks have a list of council rules which demands helmets and stuff, guy most likely isn't legally covered.

The mother is in the wrong, she's responsible for the child, should be arrested for assault
Sigh..
Mother is incredibly wrong. She doesn't understand the culture of sports, especially the culture of a skatepark. This really pisses me off. Kids really shouldn't be there before being completely comfortable and able to take a few hits - there's constantly the kid on a scooter stopping in front of me in the middle of the place. He will eat it. 9 times out of 10 I will, but what if I didn't see him or couldn't bail? This happens all the time! Kids should know to stay out of someone's line. In this case he was way too young to be there or at least in that area. Good skateparks usually have a kids area for practice. Likewise, I stay out of kids way. Too risky. With young skaters that are pretty shitty (that have no business there in the first place) it's impossible to tell what they're going to do next. They could stop in the middle of the mini ramp and sip a capri-sun for all I know.

Not legally covered for what?
I don't think that's how laws work.

It's an accident, and she overreacted but
- The guy should have looked where he was going. If I'm looking through the side window while driving, and hit someone, I'd sure as hell blame myself for what happened.
- Kid would still get knocked over even if the woman was just few feet away from him, unless she has Spidey reflexes and speed.
If it really is a skate park, she should have brought him into a kids section.

Maybe people who are not skating should not be allowed inside the skate park (accept maybe a dedicated area/bench(es) where they cannot bother the skaters? Because besides this incident, they are hindering the skaters. Once inside a skate park people should have to mind the skaters, not the other way around. Them aimlessly strolling around without a board, bike or skates makes no sense to me.

What the fuck? Um, what a shit mother... Um, maybe don't let your little brat run around the skatepark if you dont want it to get mashed by a skateboard? Just throwing that idea out there... The guy said sorry... Jeez.
Should probably look at skate videos. When you're doing a trick you look at your board, not at children who run into you. And the kid wasn't even in his way until after he ran into the skateboarder. Should probably watch the video in the OP as well.

Amen to that!
I'm a single dad of a 4 & 5 year old. The mother was in the wrong IMO. First in a place like that I would have a more watchful eye on my kids because the nature of the park. Its not like a normal playground where you can give younger kids some extra freedom and space. It looked like a clear accident. Now if the skater was acting like a dick or didn't seem genuinely sad that he knocked the kid down maybe I could see getting angry on him. But looks clear to me he did not intend to run into the kid and did feel bad, he seemed in shock/shook him self not sure how to respond.
The skater shouldn't sue anyone, though. Its not like he got seriously hurt. The mother overacted and got emotional about her kid. I know in certain situations (not this) if I feel a person has/could hurt my kid or is being a dick in some way to them, etc then they are going to feel parental wrath/instinct kick in. I have will not hesitant to lay someone out. When that instinct kicks in and what lines need to be crossed varies from person to person which this mother clearly demonstrates. Her actions are almost instinctual for the threshold point she has in relation to protecting her children. I'm not saying its ok, but i understand the process that's happening.

What a shit mom, she could use a parenting class. And an anger management course. And like a basic education so you can know that punching people over an accident brought upon by your own negligence is fucking cowardly and more importantly wrong. Way to set an example for your stupid kid.
It doesn't matter, we don't have fucking dogs' brains. Controlling our animal instinct is part of what makes us civilized human beings.

Before video: "Skaters don't watch where they're going and think they fucking own the sidewalks."
After video: "Bitch let her kid run around a skate park? All on her. I'd tell the guy to press charges."
Regarding the "Instinct" argument; Where were her fucking instincts when she let her kid roam around a public area unattended? I call bullshit.

It really is a skate park, there's not question about that...
Yeah, its pretty much good for the kid in the long run. Better a skateboard than a bus.
lol
this is a very good mindset to have if you want to get beat/jumped/stabbed. The mother in this video got really lucky that the guy she assaulted didn't retaliate.

That kid couldn't have been more than 3 or 4 years old right? What the fuck kind of birthday is he supposed to have at a skate park? Take him to Chuck E Cheese, dumbass.
How do we know he didn't retaliate? The video cuts before he could react. The "Skater Man" probably wanted to be seen in a good light on the internet so he cut the part where he fights back.

I came in absolutely prepared to think "skater deserved it," but the guy handled an honest accident as best he could. Fell so that he didn't land on the kid, stuck around to see if the kid was okay, and backed off when the mom decided to zip straight to physical violence.
Shit, she didn't even check on her kid and was yelling for Tina/Rita/whoever to punch him before she even got there.

I'm sure the mom would hop on the bus and punch the driver before checking on her kid.
I was thinking the same thing, "oh, yeah, he probably deserved it", etc, right up until I actually watched the video. The kid was clearly at fault, and his mother was nowhere until it was time to get up in the dude's face. And getting in someone's face is one thing, hitting them is something else entirely. Probably betting on the fact that she's a woman, and that no man would hit a woman even in self defense. Not all men think that way, and she's lucky the guy didn't want to start some shit, or else it probably would have been her ass on the ground.
And really, a skate park? Just because it has the word "park" in it doesn't mean all the kids should have free run of the place.
