HEY! I did that once in the middle of the street!
...except I leaped in the air from the sidewalk before falling and I put my hands in front of me as the other sidewalk was coming in fast. Then I bounded up on my feet yelling "TA-DAAAAA!". My friends thought I slid in the Superman position, as if I believed I was actually flying. Well, one of them thought I was actually dead. Yes, it was past 3 a.m. and we were coming out of a bar and the reason it happened is that I completely misjudged the heights and distances. All I said is true, but we weren't playing basketball, I was running to catch up, My t-shirt kept that asphalt stain on my belly to the day I got rid of it. They don't make people and t-shirts that tough anymore and I sure wish we had cellphones with cameras back then...
