I wish I had a Rad Rat patch for my vest. I think that would be the shit.

I frickin love rad rat.

Do pro skaters apply proper sun protection before long sessions in the hot summer sun? Do any skate companies sell sunscreen?

i feel like they don't, grease and sweat wouldn't look very appealing on camera

Regarding the congressional ufo hearings, shouldn’t it be some kind of jail-able offense for Pentagon officials to essentially refuse to tell them anything?  At the very least, shouldn’t they lose their job?

I don’t agree with it, but I guess there’s a case to be made for not disclosing info to the public if it’s some really wild shit that would cause mass hysteria.

But ultimately, we’re the ones paying their god damn salaries so let’s see some of those crazy alien vids we paid for.

—-

Also, why do we still feel outrage when people behave how people have always behaved throughout history?  We’ve been doing horrible, evil, cruel shit to one another since the beginning of time; you’d think that at some point it’d sink in that that’s just our default setting and that things like peace and tolerance and harmony are the outliers.

I seen a ufo once. It was a giant flaming rock I think. I was skating a quarter pipe in the Marblehead woods pretty much. 
The sky lit up above us and a stone made of green fire just flew over our heads and it should have hit close by but it didn’t. Nothing was ever found and there was no impact sound.

That shit was loud when it was flying by too. 

Maybe it crashed into the waters off the coast of Naugus head?

No drugs was involved and there was two others there.

Few days later a local family was chased by a ufo. They said it was right about their car for a few blocks. Was in the papers and shit.

Everyone was making fun of them but I know they wasn’t lying. They definitely saw a ufo triangle

I saw one off-season at the Outer Banks with my girlfriend at the time.  Looked up and it was just this orb of light silently hovering maybe 500ft in the air.  After a few seconds it shot off into the horizon and was gone almost instantaneously without ever making any kind of sound.

Can't remember if I've posted this pondering/waffling before so soz if I have
Why isn't Florida a proper rival of California for skate industry etc. Seems like a proper chunk of pros are from there, there's Tampa pro and am every year, it's closer to the mid west and east coast, it's already part of the south, Closer to europe (altho further from Asia so I guess further shipping for product)

In the future will people ever think back like remember that time between 2015-2025 ish where we just had too much tv? Like there were a hundred streaming things that would all dump entire series of a show every day and people would literally binge watch it. 18 hours of a show in one sitting barely even paying attention. Not to mention every other week a blockbuster half billion dollar spectacle at the movies. It's was nuts. Even crazier some people would spend all their free time watching somebody else watching something.

Did I give my cat depression? When I felt depressed he was feeling low too and now when I'm feeling better he is more active and playful. 

pets pick up on your mood for sure.  well, dogs certainly.  i expect cats also.  dont feel bad about it though, theyre there for you like youre there for them

i dreamt last night i was in a room with richie jackson and i was annoyed he was hogging a joint.  he smoked two thirds before offering me any, but i declined incase he had covid and also i dont smoke weed anymore.
then he stubbed it out on a fillet of salmon(skin side down) and placed the remainder of the joint in an ashtray, next to another butt he had smoked two thirds of.
idk why i thought of richie jackson, i never think about richie jackson.  was probably the jamie griffin crazy tricks talk.
salmon was skin side down because i guess thats what any reasonable person would do.

I turned on the tv and saw that Nigel got attacked by a naked man in his bathroom.

Shits kinda crazy. Nor does the story make much sense. Why this kind of damage control? I hope he’s good. Anxiety after a trauma is a bitch. Does feel like dying

Why are ghosts depicted wearing clothing? How does clothing become supernatural? Seems like ghosts should all be naked.

Pretty sure that’s covered somewhere in here.

Have we (humans), through all the wars and violence throughout history, inadvertently selected to increase the relative amount of pussies in the population as a whole?

You gotta figure that a lot of the people laying dead on a battlefield were some brave mother fuckers.  Whole bunch of dead brave guys.  Then another war eventually happens and more of the society’s brave mother fuckers charge into battle and get killed, and again and again and again for generations.

Meanwhile all the cowardly dudes are back home making arrows or farming or whatever in relative safety, making them far less likely to die than some bad ass warrior charging straight into the enemy’s frontline.

Maybe it’s balanced out by the fact that in general, most women would find the super brave guy much more attractive than the pussy.  And there’s also the fact that if the enemy ever successfully broke through to the town or city that there’s a good chance that they’d just go ahead and kill all the civilians.  Who knows

I predict this is the last year of sls. The thing that was just on maybe isn't the best example because it was at the primative park but looks like Cariuma and monster don't even sponsor it anymore. Every year the courses have gotten smaller and simpler. I predict in 2023 it will just be some bland Olympic qualifier series

[Mean salto]

It would be better if there were only 6days a week and 12 months of 30days. Altho you then get 5 weeks per month which doesn't divide by 12 nicely everything is still cleaner. The year will just be 360 days then we can do one of the new 6 day weeks as a holiday if we need
366. Or make first of every other month a day off.

Should we really be “playing devil’s advocate” so casually in discussion?  I mean think about what you’re saying; from what I hear, he’s a pretty fucked up dude.

[radcunt]

Ok, I just need to write this somewhere.  It's been bouncing around in my head and I just need to send it out somewhere to be able to get some context / free my head of it.  I know I sound like a 15 year old smoking weed for the first time, but fuck it.

We tend to think we can fix our evolution & live forever, but in reality we're just coming to the end of our run or preparing for an evolutionary event.  Our entire societies fabric is made up of mining, which is ethically fucked and using finite resources. We're not giving up our iPhones even though children in the Congo are dying for them, but we'll use metal straws and reusable bags at our shopping centres.  The real problem is in production to sustain this life and our need to have it and our ability to ignore the cost for the end product.  The only way we'll straighten our course is to stop production of most things that fuel our lives these days and to go back to pre technological times, but that can't / wont happen.

This is our evolution.  We're creating self learning AI at a quickening rate, and our needs will deplete the earth sooner or later while recreating ourselves into oblivion. Our dire narcissism.  We have access to all the information now to understand everything, but it's just overwhelming.  Add in the warming of our planet, and it's a one way trip.  The billionaires know it, hence the space ships and looking to protect their legacies on a new planet one day.  A dying planet shoots spores out to the cosmos in a hope to extend our existence.  In Scifi, you'd think that guy who jettisons from an exploding planet is the last hope of a civilisation, but living in it you know it's some billionaire pig who added to our extinction in a final selfish act.  In simple terms, we're just a virus that's in it's final mutations.  People seem to think the style of life we have lead in the last 70 to 100 years is everything we are.

So it's not something to fix, it's something to come to terms with.  Not saying we shouldn't try, but i'm beginning to see it all as futile as flicking boogers against a speeding car hoping to stop it. 

Somehow, this gives me hope or at least some peace to the never ending barrage of noise & doom that we're confronted with these days, and it's only hard because we've had a pretty fuckin easy run.

Having a kid really smashes these thoughts into your being, but i'm starting to feel more like 'im so glad you're here and we get to experience life together' than gut wrenching guilt for bringing her into this shitshow.

Ok, peace.

[Mean salto]

I don't believe the zillionares actually want to live on another planet. I think they want to figure out how to leave the earth for a period of time while something happens and wipes most of the rest of humanity out and then they can return. Covid was just a test.
(I don't actually believe this it's just lolz)

[radcunt]

Yeah, I dunno how much of what I wrote I believe, just letting it run to the abyss so my wife doesn't think i'm some kinda illuminati nutcase trying to explain it lol

Danny Jones is one of my favorite skaters on instagram. He’s also I think he’s the most skilled remive guy in my eyes. Also he’s hella lucky to have a lady friend who can do a bunch of nollie and switch stuff. How lucky can you get?

But yeah people think it’s John hill or giger Johnny but Jonesy’s doing nothing but manuals all the time and they are usually ones I just couldn’t do or never have or will try.

He makes me wanna tighten my back  truck a little and Torture myself at the Manny pad till I focus my face in disgrace.

I luv manuals. I love manuals and he deserves to have a positive post on slap for being a genuine manny underboss.

All the bosses are my age.

I’m putting together an 8” board today specifically for manuals and stuff. I’m just going to skate my stage 7s because I couldn’t sell them locally. Probably because they are for 8 down and the yoke hang up thing. It’s a street truck. No need for inverted yokes.

I’ve found that old Indy 139s are the best truck for me when I do flips into manny.

I have no idea why but it just works better than all modern trucks I have for manny tricks.

I’m sure I’m not the first one to think this but could a case be made that all of our god damn tech devices are a new form of life?  Instead of reproducing, disseminating and evolving the old-fashioned way, they’re parasitically getting another species to do it for them.  Almost like a macroscopic virus  .

Edit:  Just looked it up and apparently most biologists say viruses don’t fulfill all the requirements to be considered to be “alive”.  Still an interesting idea in my opinion.

i always thought those E-SK8's were kinda corny but randomly just occurred to me, would be kind of dope to have for a filmer so he doesnt have to push to film the lines

[RCB3]

If Sheckler went and landed the bs flip on El Toro when he tried it, which was a decent amount of time after telling Phelps he did it, would people have noticed he was older than the time he was speaking to Phelps? Would he have just straight up admitted he hadn't done it then, but planned to do it? Don't know why I'm pondering Sheckler, but here we are.

[SneakySecrets]

Wouldn’t it save everyone a lot of headache and misery if Biden just cut the bullshit and sent the (now) $55 billion directly to Raytheon and Lockheed Martin but without sending any weapons?

That way all the evil, corrupt elites can get their god damn money they want so fucking bad and maybe we can quit prolonging this ridiculous war and Russians and Ukrainians can stop killing each other and due to this delusion that Ukraine has any chance of winning?  Seems like a win-win.
