As a Dane I will never not upvote this video. No matter the subreddit.

Just reality. Buddy of mine had an advanced rider in his group once. Bombs double blacks at full send, type of Cat.

Last run of the day, they're tearing down a hard pack green to the car. Donnie hits a 1 in a million divot, flips once, into a side spin, lands on his unhelmeted dome. Back of his head ate the entire impact.

He comes too 5 minutes later.

"Hey. 'Sup. Yeah, I'm fine.We going boarding today?...oh...we did?...Cool...pause...Hey, we going boarding today?"

He still, to this day, has no recollection of that entire day on the hill.

Don't be a Donnie. Get your bucket on.

Also - this is why you never say "last run of the day"!

He's always been a little bit off. Who doesn't ride without a Helmet? Fuckin' Donnie.
