Everyone criticising the mom for not bawling her eyes out. Maybe she's in shock or she's trying to put a brave face on it. No one should tell anyone else how they should and shouldn't be grieving.

[Tony.S]

It’s crazy he should be turning 20 this year

[gandalfstormcrow]

I feel like his mother is in shock, she hasn’t yet totally understood he is never coming back: “I just want my baby to come home...”

[emmett]

oh god the friend must feel awful. don’t charge him. get him some counselling bc he’s gonna need it after this.

[AlexanderSimic]

He died on Superbowl Sunday? What kinda way is that to remember some dead kid. just say the date of his death...

[WadeGriffith]

I'll make sure I skate for you today, little homie. RIP

[MD-dufj]

Just a kid trying to have fun, rest in peace.

[madisongarrett]

0:05 it takes a lot of courage at that age for boys to cry because they feel pressured to act tough but he’s being so tough by letting people know how he feels and I respect him for that

[cranky]

My best friend man i felt that thats true friendship

[Goofyahh]

Losing his best friend is enough... Why does he get charged

[vladuncovered]

“He died on Super Bowl Sunday” lmao really? Why associate it with that.

[rodneypaulhardy]

As a skateboarder, most of us go skitching at some point. Hope they didn't charge that poor boy. He's already going to replay this in his head for the rest of his life.

[Gexxwy]

Everyone grieves differently, just because the mom isn’t showing a lot of emotion doesn’t mean she isn’t grieving.

[Wubbate_taofi]

Dude why is the friend crying his eyes out while the mom is just chilling

[smsturtle]

Why is this getting recommended to everyone 5 years later

[dannij]

5 years later this ends up in my recommended. I'm sad and even more sad for his mom and best friend. What a beautiful child gone too soon. RIP young man.

[benmclucas]

This is exactly why you should wear a helmet. Stay safe everyone.

[hocketypockety]

Why tf is his best friend being charged when is heartbroken, and obviously learned his lesson when the mom is just like “boys will be boys” while smiling as if he just tripped and ripped his jeans or some shit.

[The_Absurdistt]

Tragic. As a skater myself I know he lived an exciting life on his board that most people will never know or understand. R.I.P. young dude. Please wear a helmet guys and gals.

[dennisdemarcus]

Why did I get recommended this when I just got a board
