Not all signs are planted

... some grow on their own.

I occasionally do body flags on street signs, and one day a sign just snapped out of the ground. I caught myself, but I was holding the whole pole in my hands with a wtf look on my face and a bunch of people at an intersection were beeping their horns and laughing at me.

In case anyone's curious, that's Tim Knoll, and he's pretty fucking good. (This gif is at :40)

it's part of the design so that when cars run into them, they just snap and cause minimal damage right?

i remember seeing something about it on discovery channel once

In Holland they are all planted exactly because people do body flags and whatnot.

So this is why there are so many bent poles (not polish homosexuals) in my area.

The rider is Tim Knoll and he's one of the most creative BMX riders out there. His videos are definitely worth a watch.. for anyone.

As a tax payer, I cringe when I see stuff like this happen.

I tried a body flag on my skateboard the other day, but the board flew out from under me and went careening onto the interstate from the bridge. All in all, only 2 people were seriously injured, but that skateboard was pretty expensive.

Ouch. His left side probably looks like he bumped into a oversized cheese grater.

Piratiko · 6 months

Well you have to admit, it's a pretty cool move when it works out.

I don't think that's a problem with the planting of the sign; it looks like he just had too much shear force for it and the post snapped at ground level.

All joking aside, that is SO dangerous. I knew someone who was fucking around trying to steal a road sign while drunk and the pole came down. The metal sign at the top of the pole struck him in the back of the head and he died.

Just realized I want to see a (female) stripper do some bmx pole dancing.

That is a revenge from the road services!

If only no parking signs were that easy to remove. Live in los angeles we had a no parking sign at the last space in the parking lot and the lot was always full so the last person would have to park there, then a bike4 cop would ride through and ticket that person. My neighbor was fed up so he cut it down with a hack saw while we all applauded.

bike thieves will unplant signs like this so that, when someone chains a bike to it, they can pick up the pole and steal the bike.

Not all faces are planted. But his is.

My friend says the second one is "still swag because now he has a sign"

AngryEnt · 6 months

I wonder how he chooses what pole he's going to do that to, and why.

Ironicallypredictabl · 6 months

He vandalizes like an occupier.
