Sometimes trying unorthodox things can earn you all the appreciation in the world, but it can get trickier at times. It can get a lot more difficult when two skills are combined. One such video is doing the rounds on social media, in which a biker tries and executes a skateboarding trick flawlessly. But for some people, it was not a display of skill, as the trick appeared too easy to them.
The video didn’t turn out well for the skateboarder, as he became the subject of trolls from the social media cult. The Internet community is teasing the biker for attempting such an easy trick on the bike.

The video is posted by treetopskateclips on their Instagram handle with the caption, “Now we gotta tell skaters to do a kickflip on a bike.” The man named Truman Glasgow in the video is seen cycling, and his friends ask him to do a kickflip while a skateboard appears in the next frame. He lands on the skateboard while holding his moving bike, does the kickflip, and gets back on his bike.

Fans reactions to the video
One fan presented a further challenge to the biker and stated, “Okay now do it again with the bike up off the ground.” One other fan provided a suggestion regarding the clean kickflip and stated “Wow, nice kickflip, but holding onto a bike kinda takes away from the coolness factor. Keep practicing and soon you’ll be doing clean kickflips without any assistance.” For one, it seemed to be an easy trick as he stated “Easy A** S***T.”
