BLADE DIGEST #2: Allergic reactions to flying monkeys

This looks like a job for…

Not since Monty Python has the idea of a flying circus been so awesome. As Johnny Knoxville so eloquently put about the NitroCircus, “If it’s a bad idea, they’re filming it and thank God for that.”

To get a good idea of what it’s like, imagine a group of people driven only by their ids who do nothing but shop in catalogs that sell nothing but things that blow up while playing a game of Chicken with gravity. Mix in a few cases of cheap whiskey, kegs of Red Bull and a handful of ball bearings and you’ve got an event even the biggest Redneck would lose his voice hooting and hollering over.

And how is this relevant? Well, they’ve got Haffey for the ever-popular Australian tour. You see, unlike the normal American who likes crappy sports like football, Aussies love things where people launch 70 feet in the air with nothing but a helmet on. You must expect something like that from a country founded by criminals. (Note to self: check into emigration status to Australia.)

But, while Superman himself will be doing what he does best, it’s no indication that the larger alt-sporting world has accepted us and our fruity boots. They’ve invited others too.

Scooters and pogo sticks, huh? Oh well, it’s still Haffey.

Here he is tending to a downed scooter rider who learned a thing or two:

And, according to those who have seen some clips, Haffey’s got that 50-foot Gigant-A-Ramp covered like Woodward and Bernstein on Watergate.

‘Did you just call him a piece of underwear?’:

While VHS copies of Mitchell Goosen busting out the sweet 1993-era moves might be harder to get than wood at a Reba McEntire concert, the Blockbuster-busting giant that is Netflix has you covered. If you’re a loyal customer, you can access the blading roots awesomeness at anytime you’ve got a computer and an Internet connection.

While many people might see the cheesy-as-hell movie as something irrelevant now 17 years after it rocked your socks out of your RB Lightning TRSs, there is still plenty of wisdom abound that’s still making people realize certain things about geographical portions of the US:

Your weekly serving of Juuuuuice!:

Whilst out blading this past weekend at a park with angled ledges, we were joking about all sorts of stuff to do on them ala-Farmer.

I’m not sure who said it, but he was right: “Some of that stuff in his new edit only he can do.”

If you haven’t see the Chris Farmer Xsjado 2010 edit yet, you’ve been doing your eyes a disservice.

Dude in a skirt:

This month, Brandon Ballog and contributors released Issue #7 of Rollzine. And, as he says, “the stories are not about video sections or sponsorship — they are just about having fun.”

This issue has great editorials — along with the usual beautiful layout and photos — about what determines if a spot is “for skateboarders” and how, or if, we should be fighting our sport’s effeminate influences.

Check out the latest issue of Rollzine. It’s worth your time.

Something of note:

Congrats go to living blading legend and AMall rider Vinny Minton and his now-wife, Johana.

They did the wedding thing, followed by the partying thing. Everyone had fun. Well, there were some moments where AMall staffer Neil Chen didn’t.

It’s okay. He lived.

A parting thought:

Yes, the Dalai Lama is on Twitter. When the Tibetan leader and peacemaker has something to say, it’s worth listening to. After all, he is the latest reincarnation of a lineage of spiritual leaders chosen to be reborn to enlighten others.

Ah, all seems right in the world now.

Rock out with your respective genitals out,
