Awesome skateboarding fails shot in slow motion

(CBS) - Slow motion makes everything look cooler. It's a fact, there is absolutely no way around it.  Add in fails shot in slow motion, and you have a great video 10 times out of 10.  This is one of those videos.

Watching these guys slowly crashing to the ground is almost painful, as you are on the edge of your seat knowing they are not going to pull off their tricks.  The silver-lining?  Each and every one of these painful moments is just beautiful to behold, shot at between 500-1,000 frames per second on a high speed camera.
