Go Skateboarding Day Clip Of The Year

If you live in the Los Angeles Area, who of you was crazy enough to actually celebrate Go Skateboarding Day?  Not me, I hung out by the pool in my Speedo and made sure I stayed cool because dang it was hot.  It was like 111 degrees or something like that outside.  But a lot of you who aren’t posers like me actually did go skating and that’s very noble of you.  I found some Youtube videos online that are pretty cool. 

Bucky Lasek had a session with some friends in his hometown of Baltimore Maryland just hours before the AST Dew Tour vert finals.  Keep your eye at around the 1:46 mark.  There’s a great shot of a kid doing some twist and turns on the asphalt.  I think he might have been in a break dancing competition. 

Then I found this kid from Kettering Ohio skating the plaza.  I think his name is Nick M but I’m not really sure.  His skating is pretty out of control and very consistent winning him plenty of cash.  But it doesn’t compare to the awesomeness of the dude with the bullhorn.  Look for him at around the 2:00 mark.  He’s like Conan The Barbarian’s zombie twin. 

And finally there’s the clip that takes place on the 405 freeway in Los Angeles.  If you didn’t already know, the Interstate 405 is one of the busiest freeways in the country and the connecting freeway from I 10 can take upwards to about 45 minutes just to transfer during rush hour.  It really sucks.  Well the guy in the clip below some how manages to skate and stop traffic on I 405.  If I were stuck behind this guy, I don’t know if I’d be pissed off, or if I would root him on.  Or maybe ask him if he’s lost.
