This is downright dangerous, debatably dumb, but mostly—it’s pretty damn impressive. Did it need to be done? No. Are we glad it was? Yes, absolutely.
No stranger to getting strange on his skateboard, Ellis Frost is at it again. But he's taking things to a new, wackier level with this one.

This is what happens when the notion of going viral on social media intersects with the joy of skateboarding. It’s technically nothing new, we’ve seen crazy stuff like this for years now—and we’ll see more—but sometimes you just have to give credit where credit is due.
This triple kickflip from the creative mind of Ellis is genuinely impressive, extremely difficult to even imagine, and in fairness, he’s clearly having a ton of fun with his friends while it’s all happening.
The background laughter and little smirks say it all.
Where do people even come up with stuff like this? Like, what truly sparked this silly idea? Again…I guess that’s not as important as the simple fact that someone did, and as a result, this is what we get.
I hate to admit it, but the one he landed looks better than most of my kickflips.
Props to Ellis for pulling this off. I’m backing it. Stay weird!
