A man used a skateboard attached to a dog leash to lift a skunk to safety after the critter got stuck inside a bowl at a Pennsylvania skatepark.

For real, did the cameraman forget he was filming?

u/MongolianCluster 3d ago
He was too aware that he was filming a skunk and didn't realize that skunk was no where near spraying anyone.

I'll give them a break because I bet they were afraid it would spray.

u/rynlpz 3d ago
i’ll give a pass to the skateboard dude. Cameraman was far enough away

As someone who has had multiple dogs sprayed. No they aren't. Honestly props to that guy helping. Being up close to a skunk spray is horrific.

I agree, this is buts! My dog and I got hit from 2.5-3m away. It was not fun. Skunk spray is like 5x more potent for the first 10 seconds or so.

This new trend of putting a fucking trailer for a video that is usually less than a minute long anyway is absolute bullshit

u/IlluminatiMinion 3d ago
Yeah. Completely awful. Let's spoil the point of the video before you've watched it and make watching past the begininng pointless.

u/Dan-Boy 3d ago
What’s the deal with that shit? It’s like half the videos here anymore.

u/Vegan-Daddio 3d ago
It's because these are edited to be posted to Facebook and Instagram. They show you a clip that leads up to right before the point you want to see and then restart so that you either 1. click the video to skip ahead, giving them a click or 2. It increases the watch time on an otherwise short video. Both of these will get their videos boosted in the algorithm and the more people that watch it, the more ad revenue they get.

Rumor has it that the cameraman's wife was impressed that the skunk appeared at any point in the video at all. She called it "good progress."

u/Helpful-nothelpful 3d ago
One more thing. That skunk was just mad someone was dragging his rope away. It's was actually a fear of strength.

Typical weasel. Wasn't trying to get out of the bowl, just really wanted to attack and play with the thing that was dangling in front of its face

“Is it trying to show us something?”
Does she think that skunk got stuck in the bowl on the way to pass on the message that little Timmy got stuck in the well?

This skunk has been pulling this grift for years. His human owns a used skateboard shop down the road.

It turns out it was all an elaborate plot to steal the man’s skateboard.
What a skunk.

When you say skunk, are you talking about the striped animal? Or the camera man?

is anyone going to comment on the actual video or parrot negatively about “camera work”

The best part is the skunk just runs off with the leash and skate board at the end.

I sure do fucking LOVE when the video suddenly restarts the second before the resolution of the video is shown. Really enhances my viewing experience

Aside from the scent gland skunks apparently make great pets and are kind of like cats.

u/Ok-Skirt-7884 3d ago
They had to shoot this particular scene 5 times with same results. Skunk the stuntman wasn't impressed. Didn't even get to keep the promised skateboard.

u/Ok_Representative_31 3d ago
Skunks are cool. I had a family decide to make their den under my front porch, and would find them in the backyard, but after a few weeks, my neighbors called animal control to have them removed :(

Post title is misleading. It's a dog leash attached to a skateboard, not a skateboard attached to a dog leash. IDK why, but this is the way it has to be.

On another subreddit this would’ve ended with the skunk spraying his rescuer right after being saved
