Showing off sometimes comes with its own comeuppance and skiing is no exception, as these two overconfident young chaps demonstrate.

In one clip, shot on 8 February 2019, skier Alexander attempts to slide on some rails before skiing backwards.

Unfortunately he isn't the best at skiing backwards and takes out two of his fans like bowling pins after landing his trick.

Needless to say, they are no longer his fans and have both unfriended him on Facebook.

In another video, shot on 20 January 2019, brave young man Sampson attempts a high jump off a car park, via a sloping roof, to a small patch of snow on the ground.

Sampson used to park at this parking garage every weekend before hitting up his favourite salon downtown to get a pedicure.

One night he had a dream about skiing off the top story of the car park with all of his friends from the salon cheering him on. This dream was so vivid that he truly believed he could recreate the experience in real life and one Sunday morning, Sampson set out to accomplish this feat.

He invited all of his close friends from the salon but unfortunately none of them showed up since they were all hungover from the night before.

The only person who came to help was Sampson's brother-in-law, Donny-bob, who wanted to film the death-defying stunt.

After several hours of waiting for his salon friends to arrive, Sampson decided he'd still attempt the jump without the extra encouragement.

The experience turned out to be more of a nightmare in real life than the way it had magically played out in Sampson's dream.

Sampson took a hard slam and damaged several of his freshly pedicured toes.
