Our favorite adrenaline-pumping couple Shaun White and Nina Dobrev are at it again. The three-time Olympian and Vampire Diaries actress are no strangers to dangerous stunts, but their recent one has fans on the edge.

In a heart-pumping video posted on July 25, the former pro snowboarder/skateboarder flexed his skills in an unconventional way, as his doting girlfriend had his back — literally. With Nina piggybacked atop Shaun, the pair skateboarded back and forth on a ramp. Though the Redeeming Love star appeared to be having a fun time, she seemed to be content with only a short ride on the ramp. But Shaun had a different idea.

When he stopped at the top, he was ready to go again. Nina immediately responded with fearful no's and playfully pushed him back to skate down the ramp alone. By the sounds of Shaun's caption, he might have wanted to do jumps. "Next week we start doing airs 🤘🏻," he captioned the thrilling Instagram video.

Reacting to the snippet, fans expressed a mix of emotions in his Instagram comments section. On one hand, many couldn't help but feel concerned over the act. More specifically, lots of folks worried about Nina's safety and asked Shaun to be careful with her.

"Do not drop her!! Precious cargo 💕," one person wrote. "Cool, but you’ve got a national treasure on your back. You drop her, we drop you," another added. "Nina 🥺🥺🥺 don’t you fall," a different fan said.

Still, others were confident in his ability to keep Nina on his back. Instead, they focused on what the moment signified for the couple. "That’s trust!!!!👏," a follower commented. "Okay, love this ❤️ …relationship goals 😆," someone else quipped.

No doubt there, as Nina's been a great support since Shaun announced his retirement in March. "We just met in an interesting way, and we're both pretty driven and motivated, so you [kind of] understand that about one another," he told Entertainment Tonight. "She's off in Europe right now shooting a movie, I'm here doing my thing, we're gonna meet up when we can, and there's just that understanding there. We can support each other."

It's great news as the Degrassi alum has certainly kept busy, starting work on the TV series adaption of historical fiction Woman 99, according to her IMDB. Nina also has her hands full — with bottles of wine — as she and Dancing with the Stars alum Julianne Hough expand their co-owned brand Fresh Vine Wine.

So, it seems like it's only up from here for both Shaun and Nina. We're sure more adventures await the duo ... but maybe not on a ramp again.
