Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Here is the video, 2:50 in.

[–]usernameyunofunny 27 points28 points ago

Wow, the picture makes it look so much worse in my opinion. Regardless, it's still really dumb and dangerous.

[–]homercles337 13 points14 points ago

Well, i'll be damned...years of asking and someone finally delivers!

[–]cats_suck 8 points9 points ago

It was actually a really great bail. Had he hung on a little longer he would've face planted.

[–]SuperDestructo 3 points4 points ago

I'm so relieved. I saw this picture several years ago and assumed the kid got fucked up hard. Good to see him strutting around triumphantly afterward.

[–]ryuujinusa 0 points1 point ago

Wow, that guys pro

[–]Dexter_The_Genius 0 points1 point ago

should be posted on /r/aikido .

[–]Justavian 103 points104 points ago

It's always a good idea to go off a ramp onto pavement without a helmet, gloves, or any other protection.

[–]HeliBif 20 points21 points ago

"Helmets are for pussiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeessssss-THUNK!"

[–]FOUR_YOLO 8 points9 points ago

his face should break the fall

[–]Pheeshy 22 points23 points ago

Also, make sure the ramp is at the top of the hill so that your fall is much farther. Out of all those kids and bikes, I see two helmets. I wonder which is more cool: wearing a helmet and being ok after a crash, or not wearing a helmet to look like a baus and then living as a vegetable for the rest of your life after a crash. Hmm...

[–]smittyline 13 points14 points ago

make sure the ramp is at the top of the hill so that your fall is much farther

Landing downhill is less harsher than landing onto flat, level road. See all bike, motorcycle, snowmobile, snowboard, and ski jumps in professional competitions.

That said, the guy's still an idiot for not wearing protection.

[–]PumpValve 8 points9 points ago

less harsher

ಠ_ಠ

[–]isofat -1 points0 points ago

True. Unless you overshoot the downhill part and land on flat ground. Then you need to just hope that your ragdoll skills come into play and you don't tense up cracking all of your bones.

[–]Pheeshy 0 points1 point ago

I definitely agree on the landing being easier (I snowboard and landing on a flat top fucking kills knees) but that's only IF you're landing on said bike, board, etc.

[–]joshy1234 2 points3 points ago

I like my veggies with extra baus.

[–]ZombieKingKong -4 points-3 points ago

Couldn't a few of those guys made an attempt to catch this person?

[–]Mac_Anu 1 point2 points ago

It would have just made things worse. They'd never break his fall from that height on a slope like that

[–]ZombieKingKong 0 points1 point ago

I still believe

[–][deleted] ago

[–]thehahn 21 points22 points ago

No Bike, looks worse imo

[–]muffinmaster 2 points3 points ago

Seriously, either way he's about to fall from a pretty insane height.

[–]DonMildreone 2 points3 points ago

I must go. My people need me.

[–]punkparty 8 points9 points ago

For the love of everything gnarly show me some follow up.

[–]homercles337 -1 points0 points ago

I have been seeing this pic and asking the same thing for years...as far as i can tell there are no other related pics. This makes met think its shooped...

[–]Upgrades 0 points1 point ago

There's a video of the rest of it. He lands on his feet then falls to his side but was totally fine.

[–]sirblastalot 0 points1 point ago

Damn lucky. From the way he's angled in that still, it looks like he's going to grind his face off.

[–]roper1[S] 32 points33 points ago

Oh god. A typo! I'm ruined!

[–]Clay_Statue 5 points6 points ago

Amazingly nobody but you mentioned it! I think because sya is clearly a typo. Most grammar nazi's are more interested to pounce on bad grammar than mistyping.

[–]mauxfaux 1 point2 points ago

Nazis. No apostrophe.

<ducks out the back door>

[–]mr_scaredypants 3 points4 points ago

did the guy live?

[–]seanbear 10 points11 points ago

The guy on the bike? Or were you asking if the grammar nazi lynch mob got OP?

[–]robo-tronic 6 points7 points ago

The guy died to death but ended up recovering.

[–]roper1[S] 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, only minor injuries, actually.

[–]Neelpos 1 point2 points ago

Last shot, he was actually fine, stood up right away.

[–]SonOfTK421 1 point2 points ago

Intending to comment with something witty and/or scathing, instead saw this post and then observed that type, and could only think...swa!

[–]idontgivetwoshits 0 points1 point ago

your typo is a typo. The correct sentece should be:

"Oh god. A repost! I'm ruined!"

[–]ketdizzle 4 points5 points ago

it's ok...the guy without a shirt is going to catch him....or so it seems

[–]punkparty 2 points3 points ago

The impending pain that this poor gentleman is about to endure makes my knees weak. No helmet?...this reminds me of a banner hanging on my third grade teachers wall, " Fail to prepare, prepare to fail." This dudes brain is about to fail.

[–]me_brewsta 1 point2 points ago

His brain failed long before he ever hit the pavement.

[–]dharrison21 0 points1 point ago

Actually he was fine. Fuck the helmet.

How is this the 9th repost and has already more upvotes than 8 of those?

[–]Tr33x0rs 3 points4 points ago

Because it's his cakeday.

[–]roper1[S] 3 points4 points ago

It's a beautiful thing! My 1st cakeday.

[–]HenryCavendish 3 points4 points ago

They are just shocked because a human shouldn't be beating a bicycle in a flying race.

[–]Deemaunik 3 points4 points ago

Take a minute to look at the expressions. His friends look like they've stared death in the face. Him? He's like a swan, gliding languid through the air with wings spread. Eyes and mouth firmly determined. The audience is terrified. Him? He's prepared.

[–]cacu4you 2 points3 points ago

happy cake dya roper1!

[–]roper1[S] 0 points1 point ago

Many thanks!

[–]runningwithsporks 0 points1 point ago

I sure hope he's ok.

That's gonna leave a mark.

Did anyone else just think "It's over"?

[–]Kazhrei 0 points1 point ago

Yep, that's definitely going to hurt.

[–]redjubear 0 points1 point ago

With this kind of photo, i can't help but think someone should be doing something to help him ....... despite there only being a fraction of a second before blood, pain and cracking bone.

[–]alienelizabeth 0 points1 point ago

Holy shit

[–]axel44 0 points1 point ago

makes my hands sweat

[–]nomnomable 0 points1 point ago

he's like "I believe I can fly" and leting go the bike at the same time

[–]McRawffles 0 points1 point ago

It's your cake day damnit, get your spelling right.

[–]tattedspyder 1 point2 points ago

Bet he's wishing he wasn't too cool for a helmet right about now.

[–]EpikYummeh 0 points1 point ago

This is why you wear helmets.

[–]paelf8 0 points1 point ago

[–]slaptogs 1 point2 points ago

I like to think the topless guy at the end is springing into action, and about to catch him.

[–]Claypool2112 1 point2 points ago

FALCON KNEE!

i miss the skater/bmxer crowd

[–]cralldaddy4 0 points1 point ago

Please tell me there is a video...please.

[–]Ubahootah 0 points1 point ago

Haha, my physics teacher used this picture in his intro on gravity. Great to see it on reddit.

[–]dude12322 0 points1 point ago

[–]LazyNarwhal 0 points1 point ago

Good thing he wore his helmet!

[–]Statement -1 points0 points ago

This should have a NSFL tag.

[–]InvertedEight 0 points1 point ago

Did he died?

[–]Sergeant619 0 points1 point ago

I like the guy with the camera at the end. He is like OMG this is goona hurt...For Him. One of the best examples of 0 fucks given.

[–]ganymede_boy 1 point2 points ago

This killed the cyclist?

[–]ganymede_boy 1 point2 points ago

Not sure I get the downvotes? It's a legit question... Is the kid ok?

[–]Sgt_Meowmers 1 point2 points ago

He's fine, its from a bmx video.

[–]ganymede_boy 1 point2 points ago

Thanks. Looks like he's way up there!

[–]polofreaks 1 point2 points ago

He didn't even get any injuries.... Fact. A twisted ankle wa the result of this.

[–]zakbroman -1 points0 points ago

I always wondered what the aftermath of this picture was. Source?

[–]kwaliti 1 point2 points ago
