I think that's where it came from, we all called them bails as kids. Except for my one friend who called them crashes.[close]Slams are bails but not all bails are slams

it must be crazy when chico sells you something and the tables switch from "give me my money chico" to "giving my money to chico"

There's also the rare but fucked-up bail-to-slam which is often worse than a straight-up slam. This is a prime example:

He believes that all these mega-jacked 40-50 year olds in Marvel movies are just achieving their gains my "chicken and rice", and that Tom Brady doesn't have the world's most effective prescription for HGH. I was incredulous, because this guy follows professional cycling.

My friend who didnt skate forgot Andrew Reynolds last name and assumed it was Andrew Baker when he was telling us about a video he watched.Not dumb but it was pretty funny as a 12 year old. We called Reynolds “Andrew Baker” for awhile after that

I always thought that because I skated I’d be cool with other skaters…….
That pro designed pants will make me ollie higher or hold a better slappy, or even help me get a better b/s powerslide on a hill bomb
Wow sorry, didn't realise I was dealing with a sick cunt here
