Skaters Taking Advantage Of The Mortgage Meltdown

In certain US cities, I’ve read about fashion and modeling students who secretly live an underground lifestyle with other students who can no longer pay their rents due to high costs of living and even higher tuitions.  These students are forced to live in abandoned buildings.  I bet the smell is wretched.  In other parts of urban American, I’ve read about trannies (transvestites) taking over abandoned business parks for their own drug den and whorehouse usage.  I bet it smells extra nasty in there.  And finally, just the other day, I saw an episode of MAN VS. WILD, where the host Bear Grylls desperately squeezes out fluid from a pile of elephant dung and into his mouth in order to re-hydrate himself.  I’m willing to bet his mouth stunk extra-extra nasty! 

We’re all feeling the effects from the current recession.  Students, trannies and Bear Grylls according to my examples above are all obviously suffering from this astronomical crisis.  But not skateboarders!  I’m talking about skateboarders and not so much the skate shops and skate companies.  They’re suffering (don’t buy blanks!).  Skaters have cleverly discovered ways to enjoy local unoccupied foreclosed homes that include empty swimming pools.  Not only are they doing a service to themselves, but they’re also helping out the community by emptying out and drying up the left over stagnant water that can potentially harm the neighboring homes. 

I think it’s safe to say that these skateboarders are modern day heroes.  Check out the article over at the NY TIMES.
