Some things were good: practing in an empty parking lot. I used to do that. Especially hard, threshold braking. Only real place to do that as safely as you can. (It paid off many times)
He noted someone tore up the grass and not doing it himself.
Noticed the car in the lot and was very respectful, before it got weird. Being pretty observant of something not right. Following up and keeping him in sight. Calling 911. Good things.
Caring about the old dude.
Actually trying to help without being too scary to the old man. He kept his distance and did not rush the guy. Some may say he could do more, and others will point out that can go very wrong, quickly. Like old guy taking off and dragging the young dude. Camera doesn't really help then.
Sure, wheelies down a busy street is not really brilliant. And his choice of words sound strange to us. But I got his point. So did the old man, but he was not comprehending anything. Being lost in a parking lot speaks volumes. Wailing a curb, and then not reacting to the cloud of oil smoke, red warning light, or wondering why a young dirtbike dude is flailing at your car. Poor old man is probably done driving. Sad.
On the whole, the young kid went beyond the norm, was caring, and did good things. He actually tried. Far more than most people.
Needs to learn about street wheelies though....
