Out at this skate park, most people wouldn’t even think about rolling near a massive bull elk chilling right by the quarter pipe.
Most people would dip. Not this skater. He pulled up like it was nothing, set himself up, and threw a clean frontside air just feet from this giant animal.
The good homie stuck the landing like it was nothing and somehow the elk just stood there watching.
Jakub Thomas posted the clip and it blew up fast.
Over 3.8 million people have seen it now. You can hear the crowd losing it in the background, some screaming, some laughing, all hyped as the skater flies through the air like it’s all good.
Then came the wild part. The elk moved, looked like it gave the skater a nod. People in the comments can’t agree if it was respect or a warning.
One person wrote, “Just got nod of approval.”
Another said, “People think it’s respect, it’s the elk telling him to back off.”
Either way, it is insane. A skater throwing tricks and a giant elk just chilling like they both know what’s up. It’s one of those moments you can’t plan.
You gotta see this skater throw that trick right in front of the elk.
