>>4496216I was involved in a similar super-fail once. My brother and I were skim-boarding and we were always looking to do new tricks. We thought that we would skim toward each other full-speed in a near-miss and grab each other's arms as we went past, using the centrifugal generated to do a 180 and then release and go back the way we came. Seemed like a good idea..... We tried a couple of times and actually managed to change our trajectory but we realized that we needed more speed. So, on the last attempt, we were going at top-speed and were heading right at one another. we both tried to adjust and unfortunately picked the same direction. We basically collided chest-to-chest and nearly knocked each other out. Everyone was laughing their asses off - it must have looked fucking ridiculous.
