Darby Allin Wanted To Do A Kick Flip Underwater, But There Were 15 Sharks Around Him

Darby Allin had lofty ambitions.

Back in May, Darby Allin set a world record for the highest elevation kickflip during his Mount Everest trip.

As it turns out, Allin apparently has ambitions of setting a world record for the lowest elevation kickflip as well.

“I set the highest elevation kick flip and then I brought my skateboard to the bottom of the ocean to try and set the lowest kick flip. There are 15 sharks swimming around my head. It was so fucking hard. I can’t even describe how hard it was to do a kick flip at the bottom of the ocean.” Allin said on Steve-O’s Wild Ride! podcast.

After saying that he didn’t practice for the trick, Allin explained how he thought it was going to work.

“I have no idea. I thought at the time, ‘I did this on Mount Everest. It’s going to be killer underwater.’ I thought it would float up, I strapped on a piece of a life jacket. I had to pay attention to the kick flip or to the sharks around my head. I did a finger flip. We can say the world’s lowest finger flip.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Allin said that he wants to go to space. Check out his full comments here.
