“This Is So Dangerous and Illegal”: Channeling His Inner Tony Hawk, a Skateboarding Enthusiast’s ‘Fire on My Board’ Moment Goes Viral

Skateboarding is a sport that embodies the symphony of rebellion and creative expression. Skateboarding has captivated the imaginations of millions of people all over the world because it combines skill, creativity, and fearlessness.

In this extraordinary world of skateboarding, one skateboarder’s audacious encounter with fire has ignited both fascination and concern among fans and spectators alike. This recent incident is reminiscent of the legendary Tony Hawk and sets the stage for a journey that blurs the line between awe-inspiring spectacle and potential danger.

Tony Hawk’s Influence pushed boundaries

Tony Hawk, a pioneer whose name is revered in the skateboarding community, is at the center of this vibrant world. Hawk’s influence is felt far beyond the skateboarding community, thanks to both his innovative tricks and his charitable work that broke barriers. Within this landscape of pushing boundaries, skaters start incorporating fire into their daring maneuvers. These instances have both captivated and alarmed viewers. The Bastian brothers, Jonathan and Jason, showcased their mastery in 2013 with “BURN,” enveloping their boards in flames as they executed precise tricks amidst the inferno.

Similarly, in 2019, skateboarders pushed the boundaries of daring by igniting their boards and venturing into a rainstorm, resulting in the mesmerizing “BURN 2” video. Though mesmerizing, these displays, remind us of the inherent risks involved. It was exemplified by a 2017 incident in which a skater unintentionally set his friend on fire with gasoline. A reminder of safety precautions and responsible conduct in such a sport. In a recent incident, a teen trying to replicate these spectacles and channel his inner Tony Hawk posted a video that has gone viral and left the skateboarding community in a debate.

Viral video of a fiery spectacle leaves the skateboarding community abuzz

A reel by an Instagram handle called Schlossey, the video shows a skateboarder, known as Myke (Bonzaibubblemyke) riding through a rink. There are strategically placed burning coals atop the ramp. As Myke propels himself upward, his skateboard scrapes through the searing coals, leaving an enchanting trail of flames in his wake. The visual spectacle is nothing short of surreal, captivating the imaginations of viewers worldwide. The video’s caption, “This was fire (literally),” highlights the audacity and the inherent risks associated with such a feat. Fan reactions poured in the comment section, with a diverse spectrum of opinions within the skateboarding community.

The concern expressed by many is echoed in a comment, “This is so dangerous and illegal!” Another user added a humorous spin with the pun, “This is a pretty ‘coal’ video”. Expressing concern for the skate park’s condition, another comment read, “Cool, but bro is making a mess in the park, so thumbs down”. In response to the captivating visuals, a fan suggested, “Do this when it’s a little darker, and that’s a raw a** photo”. A creative addition comes in the form of a “Hot wheels” gif, capturing the essence of the fiery spectacle. The viral video exemplifies the blend of daring creativity and calculated risk-taking.
