is that supposed to look like hes jumping on the car for a bit off a laugh or that hes hit by it?

Looked pretty good, the continuity of the speed of him getting hit by the car needs some improvement. Plus why was he yelling at the camera? Other than that Gyro is impressed.

Did he hit it. Or did you hit it? The world will never know. Reverse Is Dangerous

good cuts but its all a bit slow. what you can do to make it look like hes hit at high speed is to use perspective and have the car drive fast at the actor but a couple of feet closer to the camera, thus missing him but creating the effect of him being mowed down at high speed. if you time it perfectly as well the actor can flip his own legs away as the cars by the side of him and this will leave less to be shown of him rolling onto the bonnet of an almost stationary car

Heres my suggestion, but I don't know the situation so It may be unusable:
Shot 1: Car zooms past camera, which is set on ground tilted up. You need the car to actually be going fast for this shot.
Shot2: Wide shot like opening of trailor where we see both car and human. Probably going to want to increase the speed by like %200 in post.
Shot3: From inside car, with human approaching fast. Speed it up again in post.
Shot4: Shot of kid jumping on car from wide angle or maybe a little closer, but cut in mid jump to an inside shot that is not sped up.
