Rather unpleasant footage has emerged from Canada of a skateboarder trying to remove an obscenely large splinter from his leg after he face planted on a wooden surface. <br /><br />The video, filmed in Calgary on March 18, shows the man's fall, and then features him using a pair of pliers to try and remove the wooden spike from under his skin. <br /><br />The filmer later wrote online: "Me and all my homies were out street skateboarding in Calgary, filming for the Halfcut Supply video. <br /><br />"It was crazy windy and I was running against the wind trying to get as much speed as possible when I tripped over my own feet and penguin slid across the wood surface." <br /><br />"I had got up and noticed there was a suspect piece of wood sticking out of my jeans, I thought it was just stuck in the material and i went to pull it and my whole leg moved and I thought 'C*** it's in my leg'," he continued. <br /><br />"All my buddies rushed over and removed the jeans and saw about maybe a half inch of wood sticking out. <br /><br />"Mario had pliers so I grabbed them and just started to riff on the wood as hard as I could. <br /><br />Eventually, I pulled hard enough and it ripped out, about 2 & 3/4 inch deep in the fat of the leg. <br /><br />"I spent the next 3 days with tweezers and a switch blade pulling out all the left over shrapnel that was left behind."
