Intense skating

A Russian skateboarder had a very close call when being filmed in a high speed stunt by a friend. The skateboarder was descending a twisty road and travelling at some speed but misjudged a corner, cutting it too tightly and crashing head-on into an oncoming car. Luckily he did not suffer injuries more serious than cuts and bruises as well as a dented ego and the vehicle was also undamaged.
