Billy Fish O’neil hit by a car
On the Conference Sleepless Tour. Via Conference.
Thanks Elrollio (dedicated forum’s topic).
Update:
Thanks Oli Benet for the mail.
To clear up the Billy situation.
I was checking around and people seem pissed about how we put this clip online.
Basically if you think about it, we wouldnt publish it if it was serious, if you were here with us it would all make more sense.
We have it all on film, all the ensuing action too. Billy is OK.
He has 2 twisted ankles, so he cant walk, but he is fine. We were all laughing about it, he wanted to put that clip online, we spent all evening with the police and the hospital, everyone looked after him, we are a great supportive crew here at my house and to be honest we were all sitting around watching it and talking about how lucky he was.
He is in great humour and we werent using it as an advertisement, or promoting a DVD, we just wanted to share what happened with everyone, because it was a miracle escape.
Im really sorry people are offended by it, i understand it though as we ourselves still see it and cringe, and at that moment we all wanted to die…
Billy is sitting here by my side watching “Jay and Silent Bob strike back” and is laughing away.
Oli.

February 14th, 2008 at 9:30 am
Lesson 1: how get people interested in your company again.
I bet he’s just fine, this movie is way to trailer-like…
February 14th, 2008 at 9:57 am
C’est completement con de faire une pub comme ca… C’est racoleur comme une cover de magazine people. Si il y a vraiment eu un accident j’espere que Fish sera payé pour l’instrumentalisation de sa chutte.
February 14th, 2008 at 10:01 am
man wtf… dude got hit by a car and u say its a commercial ? go rape a dog
February 14th, 2008 at 10:11 am

To Fck
THis is presenting like it was an advertising “the conference proudly present the death of billy o’neil…” That’s a shame seriously !!
February 14th, 2008 at 10:13 am

Err, real or not, that’s not nice!!! If anyone know he’s ok, say so because that looked horrible.
February 14th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Oh my god, the noise is horrible ! how they can bring it on internet. We don’t need an advert about the conference, it will be better to explain what happened and know how is it going for billy’o'neil.
February 14th, 2008 at 10:28 am
wow.. that smash was crazy!
February 14th, 2008 at 10:37 am
Look I saw him on the clash just a couple of days ago!?!??!?
Mybe this is from before?I hope….
February 14th, 2008 at 10:40 am
Bad judgment … No one to stop him or catch him or check the car that side of the road !
Fuck conference and be more careful !!!
Hope you will be on skates as soon as possible.
Take care Mister Fish.
February 14th, 2008 at 10:40 am
hadji, sleepless tour started with winterclash, so i guess this is after the clash. thats fucking horrible. i hate when you post like billys got hit by car and to find out the details buy our dvd. anybody know is he ok?
February 14th, 2008 at 10:56 am
that is soooo bad that could be his knee caps shattered or shins
February 14th, 2008 at 11:07 am
That’s fucked up… get well soon, Billy!
February 14th, 2008 at 11:17 am
oh Shit, terrible , i hope hes ok … fuck so bad …
February 14th, 2008 at 11:17 am
yeah this advertising is in really bad taste, boycott powerslide I say
February 14th, 2008 at 11:29 am
hope he is ok and had no serious injuries… get well soon!
And I can’t believe that they make this look like an advertisment this is really fucked up!!! Are they stupid?
February 14th, 2008 at 11:33 am
That is some crazy shit! Apparently he is ok and no serious injuries but hell be out for like 8 weeks or so. thats just what ive heard.

February 14th, 2008 at 11:33 am

February 14th, 2008 at 11:33 am
oh shit c’est abusé
February 14th, 2008 at 11:34 am
HAHAHA, that was retarded!
doing stuff like that, and the comments on here.
do you really think vinny minton/the conference would post this without an explanation if fish got injured badly?
February 14th, 2008 at 11:35 am
get well soon, and please dont stop skating!
February 14th, 2008 at 11:36 am
ps. i might get some usd’s after seeing this cool ad.
rollerbladers getting hit by cars will save the industry.
February 14th, 2008 at 11:37 am
FFFFUUUUUUCKKKK TELL USSSS WHAT HAPPEND TO BILLY WE DONT CARE ABOUT FUCKING ADVERISMENT !!!!!!
THIS IS SERIOUS SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO POST THIS FOR SURE KNOW WHAT HAPPEND SO TELL US !!!!
February 14th, 2008 at 11:40 am
hahahhaha! well done, finally these shitheads know how to make a fun… for one second i really thought he was hit by a car :-)
February 14th, 2008 at 11:47 am
at first i thought it was like him crashin on the red car but damn i dont know like my jaw dropped that was the scariest shit i have ever like bearly got to se and hear
February 14th, 2008 at 11:55 am
Hey,
I totally agree that this should not have been posted, as it is far from beeing funny or cool. Dominik did it and I think he did not mean it bad.
It happened yesterday around 5pm. Billy went to hospital got X-ray, luckly nothing is broken but his angles are fucked and he will be out for about 8 weeks. He got a cast on one leg and the other one a plastic one, on friday he should be able to walk again with crutches. So Billy is alright and nothing really serious, I talked to him yesterday around 9pm after the hospital and he was already feeling better…but again I agree the post is not good and not done to promote anything. I think Dom will set it straight too. sorry!
February 14th, 2008 at 11:57 am

February 14th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
thank you guys
February 14th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
OH GOD! hope he gets well as soon as possible!
February 14th, 2008 at 12:24 pm

February 14th, 2008 at 12:28 pm

February 14th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
be-mag.com/uplXU7d/articles/liveupdate/080213_IMG_6804.jpg
Good to hear he’s okay.
February 14th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Now that’s a TRU FISHBRAIN.
February 14th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Definitely hope he’s okay though.
February 14th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
jeesus fucking christ that was waaay too close… Fish is one of my favourite skaters, and shit knows we need every roller like him that we got… Just imagine if he’d never been able to skate again…
February 14th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
OMG :(
thats horrible poor billy :’( i hope hes alright sick gap tho
February 14th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
“We have it all on film, all the ensuing action too.”
Then why didn’t you put it in the edit instead of this ridiculous presentation you idiot ? You knew people would ask about him after this…
February 14th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
the noise is horrible !hope he gets well soon
February 14th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
man im glad thats cleared up i just went out for a session at the park and all the grommits were chattering on about how he’s dead? i was pretty horrorstruck.
February 14th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
cunts show us the rest
February 14th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
This was by far the lamest ad ever. And Its way too easy to come here to apologize when u knew exactly what you were doing in the first place Mr Oli Bennet
What’s next ? An another super violent crash vid with at the end something like “$$$ TO KNOW IF BILLY IS STILL ALIVE CHECK THECONFERENCE.ORG $$$”
February 14th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
if billy said its all good to put it online why not to put it online??? because u dont like this add? :D :D :D that doesnt make sense…
February 14th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
theres a huge 19 stair gap where i live, the landing is about 20ft from the main road, and me and my mates have been wrackin our brains tryin to think when it’d be best tp try it, all i can say now is fuck that, fish had a huge run-out and got nailed by a car… i wouldn’t stand a chance, thank god he’s ok
February 14th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Good to know he’s ok. That was scary though for real. I replayed it like ten times because I couldn’t believe it. Oli’s debrief calmed me down. Still this was quite a scare. If Billy wants it online he has his reasons so I would not ‘buse about it if it’s his wishes.

noone before that didnt know what happened to billy, how can you talk about what billy said. fag
February 14th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
billy is one of my fav sk8er .. hope he gets well as soon as possible!!
February 14th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Damn that scared the sit outta me 2.
Billy is my favourite skater and I just talked to him at the winterclash. I was really like damn man this guy is even chill to talk to and all. He seemed really nice from what i saw there.
Really by seeing this vid I thought his legs were torn from his body or something. It sounded horrifying.
Glad to hear he is okay. On the conference site they show a picture of him making funny faces in the ambulance.
Hope he will regain strength back in his angles and stuff. This shit could really prevent you from rolling as good as before, both mentally as physically.
Bram
February 14th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
dang thats crazy i dont c why ppl are gettin pist tho cuz it happens its just kewl how hes laughing it off ya know
February 14th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Think he should change his nickname from “Fish” to “Iron Man!”
Glad he’s ok. Give him another pro skate. He’ll need it for medical bills!
February 14th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
“Think he should change his nickname from “Fish” to “Iron Man!””
or to “speed bump”…
February 14th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
glad to hear hes alright..
an i hope theres no complications or shit while hes getting better
i couldnt live with out seeing anymore of his front torques or tru fishes haha
get well.
February 14th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
i didnt think it was real, and then he got hit. damn. that was terribel.
February 14th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
oh le con merde bruler cette voiture qui n’avais rien à rouler la
February 14th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
it’s a funny vid, i laughed at the sound of the impact among the body and the bumper
if i were hit by a car like that, i would post it on the internet too,
you too !
rollerbladers getting hit by cars will save the industry
February 14th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
thnks for clearing it up oli. i had a feeling it couldnt be that serious if they put this online.
February 14th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
HAHAHA! Speed Bump!! Harsh but funny! Anyone know what happened to the driver, or was it a hit and run?
February 14th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
that was crazy,get well soon
February 14th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
shit that was just… fucked up
Common people, chill. accidents ARE part of the sport. I saw the video before reading the “clearing up” post, and I instantly knew tis wasn’t serious (who would be so screwed as to put up online OR on the front page such a scary clip if it would?). I had a friend hit pretty much like that while skating, 10 feet away from me, he also injured his ankles and had a bruised knees… 5 weeks later he was skating.
Maybe is that after watching slams sections for 15 yrs I am desensitized?
February 14th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
I agree with everyone as far as this being a bad choice for an add. There seems to be an ongoing battle between rollerbladers and cars.
A better choice for this would be (as cheesy as it sounds) a PSA style clip warning in inline community about how you can get fucked up by cars and its not a joke. People forget that no matter how good of a blader you are, a car is something you have no control over.
Just throwing it up as an ad (to me) shows the lack of thought into what this powerful clip could have been used for.

February 14th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
fuck billy ma man that sounded horible.
get well soon man
February 14th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
BAD MARKETING.
February 14th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
If you all read the description, oli states that Fish is ok. Thankfully he is ok.
All good wishes on the recovery Fish. Peace.
:]
February 14th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
puuuutaqueopariu!!
wtf
i got shocked
good vibrations to Fish!
hope see him back doing more insane gaps !
February 14th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Thank you for putting on the clip. This is a way to find out news about our industry and if a rider goes down, then we are all here to support him.
I’m glad you’re ok and that you recover fast and healthy.
February 14th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
next time on scarred….
February 14th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
i dont wanta be the one sayin “fake” and shit but i think it makes an awful lotta noise when the car hits him, considering the distance between the accident and the camera, and there aint no brakin noise, even if the driver didn’t see him, he would have hit the brakes sooner or later and we would have heard it
February 14th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
nevermind what i said
February 14th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Billy wrecked that car. good work.
February 14th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
reply to jake.
several rollerbladers nearly died after hitting their heads doing gaps.
do you think people would stop and think: “hmmm, maybe i should wear a helmet?”
let’s face it, rollerbladers are insecure bitches who are more worried about their hairstyle than their brain function, and you expect them to learn something from THIS?
straight LOL!
February 14th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
oh putain…
February 14th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
i just think i got a heartattack
February 14th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
i thought for a second that we may have lost one of the best rollerbladers in existence.scary shit.omg.billy i hope your ok.keep rollin and be strong.
-Crane
February 14th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
THATS FCKD UP regardless if hes okay or not.
February 14th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
Jesus, stop being girly about the fact that the video was posted.. You’re not being forced to watch it.
Fish is one of my favourite rollers, but how stupid do you have to be to go into a main road on your skates?
February 14th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
look both ways kids
February 14th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
oh my GOD!!!! BILLY WE LOVE YOU MAN get well soon!!
holy shit!!
February 14th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
holy shit. i’ve been hit by a car before but at least the fucking car was hitting the brakes. fuck. good that he’s alright though.
February 14th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Dude.
Sweet 180!
February 14th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
thats not so easy to watch but thank and big guy above hes ok and will still roll agen with mad fresh style
February 14th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
What Big guy??? That’s just luck!!
February 14th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
thats not so easy to watch but thank the big guy above that hes ok and will still roll agen with mad fresh style
February 14th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Ok I watched the clip again and still dont see the Big guy above …. ;) …lol
February 14th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
“You’re not being forced to watch it.”
In a way we are ! Who will not watch a main post which has for title : Billy O’Neil hit by a car !
February 14th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
Mira amigo glad your okay take care .
February 14th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
yeah ok bitch lol :-)
February 14th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Where were the people to watch for cars and to stop him from going in the street. Fucking stupid, I can’t believe this doesn’t happen more often. Get well Billy and good luck on a fast and safe recovery.
February 14th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
I love this fucking bail movie !
February 14th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
will billy o’neil show up at bittercold, even if he cant skate?? i wanna meet him
February 14th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
Please get well soon. I hope the injury is not too serious!
Everyone who comments here with “i love this bail” or “funny video” should keep in mind that it can happen to anyone of us. Please stop that and think about it.
February 14th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
get well soon billy ;)
February 14th, 2008 at 11:59 pm
A.) this was not an add or a promotion.
B.) Billy O’neil is not severely injured; did you see him smiling and shit this was nothing more than a really bad accident
P.S. Billy O’neil is an ultimate bad ass
February 15th, 2008 at 12:25 am
Bad so bad.
February 15th, 2008 at 2:23 am
I’m glad he is ok. I was like in a state of shock the entire night after I saw that shit… I dont wanna see him stop skating and it looks like he won’t so thats a great thing!
It was just kinda like… ok so what happened when I watched it ya know? It was kinda annoying that no one said if he is ok or not… but its all good.. people dont got to be little bitches about it… The Conference wouldnt have posted it if it was fatal.
So in conclusion to it.. for all the little cry babies, who are mad for some dumb reason…chill the fuck out yo…stop being mad and just be glad he is alive!!!!!
February 15th, 2008 at 3:10 am
damn. that sux.
February 15th, 2008 at 4:23 am
damn yo hope billy is all good, hes def reppin it up to the fullest for us here on staten island
February 15th, 2008 at 5:38 am
man phuck that “we werent using it as an advertisement, or promoting a DVD, we just wanted to share what happened with everyone, because it was a miracle escape”
is some shit, quit denying it.
if billy died you would still profit lol
i fucking hate fake ass wanna be making money sleak bitches who think that apologizing for making a few thousand is gonna actually make up for one clip who they knew would promote a video i wont buy….
ill see that shit on youtube in a month, or a year.
basically, im saying …. get a real job, get a life, dont spend your time not making any money skating and just try to represent yourself truely instead of saying you werent trying to advertise… WTF?
the best part about the clip is that anyone could do that trick. shitbag.
February 15th, 2008 at 6:42 am
ITS A LIE HES DEAD :(
RIP
FISH
the confference are lies oli did it HE WAS IN THE CAR
February 15th, 2008 at 8:11 am
you ever consider that it was posted on theconference because that’s their website for communicating news about the conference to the world. they’re on a conference tour. obviously if you are going to share the terrible news it will be on your own website. god damn. it’s not a fucking ad.
February 15th, 2008 at 8:21 am
get well soon fish.
February 15th, 2008 at 8:36 am
this is like the cloverfield of rollerblading - unexplained intentional suspenseful blacked-out camerawork at integral moments…you could even draw parallels with the marketing, but I don’t believe that is conference’s intention myself…
February 15th, 2008 at 8:55 am
joli trick est ce qui pourra le remettre en 540 ? avec un 38 tonnes a la reception !
February 15th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
I am really pleased that Billy was lucky and his skates took the brunt of the damage and not his body.
Everyone makes mistakes and this just highlights how people can get slack in the excitement of the moment. There looked to be 2 roads in that clip, Billy should have tried stopping before the first road and should have had a wall of people lined up to aid him to do so, I know that this is one of these ‘you should of, you could of’ type messages but seriously when do you run across a road without looking? never so whats the difference been on rollerblades? nothing!
February 15th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Ufffffffffffffffffffffffffffff….Billy mate.. be carefuller next time PLEASEEEEEE!!!! I couldn´t ride your skates if you die!!..its a joke,ovbiously..
Really really pleased you are ok..
Recover soon ;)
February 15th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
shitt !!
animooo !
February 15th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
im pretty sure if billy didnt want the clip online, it wouldnt be online. lighten the fuck up lol, ive skated witht he guys plenty of times and hes the shit. Look at the fucking picture that dudes a fucking g lol
February 15th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
I was wondering when that was going to happen. I’ve seen way too many lucky clips of kids almost getting hit, it was bound to happen someday.
First cameron now billy, god’s trying to take us out, or tell us we need to stop skating like idiots.
February 15th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
wow
February 15th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
oh my god …
February 15th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
ca cr1
February 17th, 2008 at 8:21 am
he’s fine guys, stop posting things like “rip” ……it was all his fault. You don’t ride at that speed free into the street…..
February 17th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
best of luck fish ma man, hope your back on them for when you visit us in scotland. peace
February 17th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
I mentioned about this on my blog as well. Just like the scary workplace safety ads in our country, “There are really no accidents.”
February 18th, 2008 at 3:30 am
looks like he got a huge run up but he also had alot of time to stop himself
February 18th, 2008 at 3:40 am
I almost been hit by a car, made me think like wow happy Im still here. I think if your thinking about something else and not about the tings around you helps to be hit by a car
