A Threat To Wellness
Unbeknownst to me, this past weekend a rather large skateboarding/circus -palooza was held in Seattle.
I came to know of this through the write-up in The Seattle Times. Rest assured that progression was progressed, energy drinks were drank, and skateboard moms exceeded credit limits on purchases of wristbands and the like for their skaterat children. I am sure that it was a great time, but alas I was unable to attend. In order to get a better feel for the event, I read the comments on the The Seattle Times article. Solid gold.
Master Dodsen: Question: where there any good crashes/whipeouts? And did anyone upload them onto youtube?
Bush_nemesis: I have seen videos of skateboarding where they attempt to skateboard down the middle handrail of a staircase, say leading to a large building. When they fall, sometimes their crotch area impacts right against the rail. That is a definite threat to their wellness, and really should be made illegal just as speeding or using drugs.
