Because you don’t know until you try (even though most of the time you really do know before you try and are just lying to yourself), this is a video of the folks from Braille Skateboarding trying to ride a skateboard deck made of glass. SPOILER: it lasts one casual ride around the skatepark (starting at 5:40), then shatters to pieces a thousand dangerous pieces on the first ramp drop-in (at 7:30). Who would have thought? I bet my roommate it would be stronger than a regular board and now I have to pay all of next month’s rent. I wish I was smarter. And better looking. And had SUPERPOWERS. Might as well dream big. Go big or go home — that’s what my parents always told me. Just kidding, it was “Just go home, the rest of the kids are way better than you.” I have a lot of complex complexes now.

Keep going for the video, which should auto-start at the beginning of the ride but feel free to watch from the beginning if your flight just got delayed or something.
