Frat Boards as Blog Post

Yes, I punted on the screen grab.

No need to devote 800 uninspired words and time spent gathering photos from the Frat Boards site when all we really want to do is point and laugh. Then again, there's this video which Fink summed up perfectly:

"Everything about [it] is so awesomely wrong that I could see actual skateboarders being behind it to troll us all."
If only we could be so lucky.

I'd have a write up of North Coast on here if I hadn't been at a wedding last Saturday night. Feel free to jump in with thoughts in the comments.

It shouldn't be that confusing that there's a skater named Kevin Love who skates pretty well, but it gets me every time. Call me one-track minded. On the Twolves, you may have heard that our guy, Ricky Rubio, is out for the season with a torn ACL. There's a palpable feeling that the good basketball feelings in this town may have to wait until November to return, but before all the doom and gloom (or a playoff push, which Truehoop says is still a possibility), read this only slightly gloomy Bethlehem Shoals piece and don't count the Pups out, yet.

As a PSA, Joe Clarke recently had his camera gear stolen and it may have been skate-related. Hit up the Devolve guys if anything of interest comes to light.

PS: I'm still pretty psyched on Kirian's switchflip from last post.

That Brackett picnic table isn't your average skatepark/california schoolyard kid-sized picnic table, that's a man-sized barbecue park table.

Exactly, and it's not like he barely made it over, was excessively crouched, etc.

The real Kevin Love(T-wolves) would never stanky leg his 360 flips!

To Anonymous: You are correct. Benson seems to think he'd have a proper 360 flip, I think he'd break a lot of boards, but Benson thinks he'd be light footed.

Anthony: I'll gladly buy North Coast from the shop and do a write up.

Kirian's switch flip was so reminiscent of Keenan Turner's famous switch flip over the picnic table. Think about it!

A super human combination of Keenan Milton & Jovontae Turner.

I apologize. It can be tough to remember people's names after they die and you don't see their name in magazines any longer. As terrible as that may sound about Keenan Militon. . .
