in 1936 Stan Laurel invented the 'hardy' allowing skateboarders (or zipzingers, as they were popularly known in the 1920's and 1930's- which has recently been brought back by krooked skateboards) to propel their skateboards (or "zipsticks" as they were known) into the air without grabbing it with their hands or feet. JFK invented proper kickflips, when he was assassinated, only Ho Chi Minh and the vietcong could do them properly. LBJ, enraged with jealousy, escalated the vietnam war so the secret would die with them (he orchestrated JFK's assassination, watch the clip of his inauguration on the plane). Hippies protested, chanting "hey hey, lbj, how many kickflips you mob today" and helped to weaken the war machine. We left the quuagmire despite Nixon's theory that we could find the secret to good looking late flips in Cambodia, and failed invasion which resulted in a genocide, killing all holders of the secret, except Paul Rodriguez. Paul would later be hated on by the slap board, made up of 97% members of the khmer rouge, who were angry not to get to them. Paul is now 68, and looking good for his age. Long story short, the secret of the flick was kept in secret for generations.Then Tom Penny invented acid and went on a bike ride in the 1930's, and the rest is fate my friend.

The up escalator was invented in 1927 during the second industrial revolution as the assembly line and new advances in consumerism allowed for the mass production and distribution of manuufactured goods. Originally intended for private use in the mansions that would certainly become common in the near future when everybody was rich from the stock market, the up escalator would stop production when the economy crashed. The up escalator lasted slightly longer than the down escalator, which many men did not buy after the crash, even though they still needed the up escalator to get up to high windows to jump out from. In the 1940's America single handedly ended world war II by sending Doctor Manhattan, an American, to Europe to save the British, who were all huddled in westminster abbey crying, from the evil vampire nation of Germany and the zombie confederation known as Italy. Because America was basically cooler than everybody and saved the world from the vampires and zombies, they were all given lots of money and power from the grateful Europeans. This helped create a new age of consumerism in America. With this came the mall, which utilized the escalator, which scientists had improved to have the option of up or down on all machines. In 1956 a young Leo Romero saw a man sitting on an escalator bannister going upward. This inspired him, as before he had only seen people slide down them. He then grew up and had a son Leo Romero junior, that he trained to be the first person to grind up a rail on a skateboard. He trained him on rails and rails only day and night. The kid only knew how to skate rails, but in 2009 he grinded up the rail. In 2013 the cyborgs of the Zombiepocalypse would send back 2 terminator cyborgs. One was Arnold Schwarzenegger, who appeared as a man who had strength so great, that any who witnessed its true power would recall the Governor of California and vote him in. This would help strengthen the zombiepocalypse forces. For those wondering, zombie dogs are amazing engineers, and created the cyborgs. The other was the T 1000. It went back and killed a young, relatively talented young skater named Jeremy Wray, replacing it as an exact replica. The only way to know that this is a t 1000 and not a man is the fact that he is so much better than his brother, who is talented, but looks like a fucking chump next to Jeremy. Also, the fact that he has been jumping the largest and most dangerous gaps in skateboarding for almost 20 years with consistently high quality footage is an indicator. The reason the T 1000 took this body was to grind up a handrail years before Leo would, just to make him look bad. He did this, and also nosegrinded up a rail, albeit a smaller one. Also, Gershon Mosely front boarded up a handrail, but history has done a poor job of showcasing the advances and accomplishments of African-Americans. Did you know the first female self-made millionaire was a woman? Madame C J  Walker was her name.
but why humiliate Leo Romero?
Because he was to be the savior of the world in the zombiepocalypse, and they figured by literally revising history, he would lose his power to fight the zombies. Luckily, Jason Dill made a secret code in the mosaic video, going in random circles and getting off of his board to transmit the code to covert resistnace soldiers to sppread information about Leo Romero as the savior of humanity. Since then, people have been pretending he is far more talented than he is just to make sure he is powerful when the shit goes down.
History is crazy shit, stranger than fiction man.

If I start smoking weed again, I'll read it, bump it up, and let you know what I think.
