A deeply disturbing lack of safety gear...

This guy might be the next "Hooj' thing in traction and skate sports! (but only if you appreciate "Borat" or Will Ferrell "Old School" type humor)

Make sure you're not eating anything when viewing this :shocked2:

An even more hilarious follow-up on skateboard - perfect soundtrack! (I feel sorry for those sidewalk cafe diners!) :moon:

And some complain about those not wearing a helmet setting a bad example for kids!

(insert "He must be a team rider for..." jokes below)

The wife particularly enjoyed that ... :ticking:

MY EYES!!! MY EYES!!!

  1. Disturbing on soooo many levels.
  2. M2 Manta in the first vid?
  3. Baywatch theme in the second vid? (Cultural (!?!?!) osmosis is a terrible thing).
  4. Please let me know where to send the therapy bills. :no:
ATB,

Yes...so, so wrong...

But the Baywatch theme nailed it for me! ;)
He's like a mix of Will Ferrell, Borat and Stan Laurel.

For the sake of Humanity, I didn't link his mash-up of Pamela Anderson and his Borat Man-kini.

how do you guys find this stuff...? :crazy:

In the longboarding video he is Captain Crusty does that refer to his banana hamack?
Very disturbing that the guy buggying seemed to be dresssed the same! :crazy:

I was wondering the same thing. I never thought of typing in 'Kiteboarding in a thong' before. I see now why I haven't.

I sent the links to my wife however. If she shows up with thongs for me to wear, I just might get her into kiting.

lad - 28-2-2010 at 09:37 AM

Actually, I most certainly WASN'T searching on "Kiteboard" and "Thong!" :embarrased:

I regularly check for all the latest "kite" uploads on the video sites.
He's actually a pretty decent landboarder and stunt inliner....then...there was his other "stuff"

Maybe his buggy friend is a fan of Corey's uh, "clothing optional" buggying movement...:rolleyes:

In the same vein, I'm sad to see an old fave gone from YouTube - the Dirtsurfing Elvis ("Shelvis"). It had this German guy zipping down Euro-roadways in full, sparkly Vegas Elvis getup to the tune of "A little less conversation, a little more action ...!" :spin:

Elvis, thongs, extreme ironing, couch kite buggys....those Europeans seem to add extra absurdity to extreme sports! (actually, not a bad way to add extra publicity to the sport!)

All I could think of when I saw the second video on the skateboard was that this guy is a reincarnation of one of the Village People:crazy:. YMCA baby;-). He should hook up with the Coreylama. Let's go sailors:lol:

I hope the second saftey is hooked up for a good wedgie

Darwin. Paging Mr. Charles Darwin..... you have an award to hand out.

lad - 28-2-2010 at 02:04 PM

Actually, with his getup, there's a chance he'd inadvertently "neuter" himself - so he'd still be out of the gene pool! :cool:

Drewculous - 28-2-2010 at 06:58 PM

ozone riders....
LMAO!!! that was pretty funny!
