Gender segregation shouldn't be done in anything as far as I know. Just pit skill against skill.

In the grand scheme of things, from an ethical point of view, they're worth nothing as they don't contribute anything of true value to societal change. In other words, pure entertainment, bread and circuses.

“Soccer is a gentlemen sport played by hooligans. Rugby is a hooligan sport played by gentlemen.”

While I'd enjoy playing soccer myself, the competitive scene is completely bereft of soul; a front for gambling and advertising. It's despicable and unethical that professional soccer players earn as much as they do.

Oh goddamn that slam 😬. Takes quite the willpower to go back and face it again.

One of the sickest FS 180s I've ever seen.

I wish I could ride my bike like a Scythed Chariot and destroy all these death machines that have the gall to ride on the bike path.

I mean fuck! I hate cars and pretentious drivers so goddamn much. The only thing they have to do to accelerate is push a pedal once with less effort than moving a feather of a newborn chick, yet they for some reason consistently claim the right of way, or get it by law even. Topsy-turvy society.

“I reduced the insolent crowd of carriages which cumber our streets, for this luxury of speed destroys its own aim; a pedestrian makes more headway than a hundred conveyances jammed end to end along the twists and turns of the Sacred Way.” ―Memoirs of Hadrian by Marguerite Yourcenar (1903–1987)

To be honest, my initial reaction to this video was underwhelming. There's definitely his usual "holy shit" stuff in there, but I found the footage, not the tricks, not representative of how sick it is what he does. It might be just me though, because usually I do get that mind = blown impression every time I watch him skate.

He truly lives by his motto: "Skate Fast, Slam hard".

Some of Rodney's quotes that stuck with me from this interview:

  • “Being stubborn and easily amused are probably my biggest gifts.”
  • “Skateboarders are a group of people that don’t belong in groups.”

Rodney Mullen nostalgia (www.youtube.com)

This Rodney Mullen video is one of the oldest I can remember. The Sweet Home Alabama song, the surroundings, the skateboarding, it never fails to put me in a blissful mood.

Oh come on, this has to be satire.

If tech bros really have become this robotic, then, as Robin William's Good Morning Vietnam script read:

“You are in more dire need of a blowjob than any white man in history.”
