The skater behind was trying to pass on the left.
My buddy had a Broken Brain Moment and swerved left, since that's what the skater behind said.
They crashed.
Maybe one day he will join this forum and see this post.

@Peder HS We need to formalize something on this skate scene wide. Same with other safety stuff. Imo.
Haven't done any DH in a long time, but even when I'm doing LDP on paved trails or streets, I find myself shouting "Passing on your _____" because a lot of people (cyclists, pedestrians, other skaters) move in the direction you call out. Not as efficient in terms of language, but it works out okay in most instances. I agree with @Matt Needs Wheels for sure, there needs to be some sort of standard for things like this.
On bikes in our local greenway when we pass we say "on your left/right" most of the time it works, but broken brain moments and all.
I don't bother with left / right... because half the time i get them mixed up anyways.
I just use: "hold your line" and I will navigate around them
or
"don't f-xk up my line!" when they just need to get out of the way.
