In other words, a typical lazy, shiftless, good-for-nothing RAT constituent.

I dunno.. he seems to have marketing himself down to a science. I'm sure he was compensated (or through his adventures be compensated.

Not the way I would earn a living, but nothing wrong with it. Free enterprize at work... do something extreme and people will pay you to do it.

Amazing.
As the Dad of a really good skateboarder, I have come to appreciate this stuff. As a matter of fact, all you have to do is go try to stand on a skateboard to appreciate this stuff.

It's really impressive when you consider Danny Way broke his neck in '94 in a surfing accident. He's lucky to be walking, let alone doing stunts like this.

One of my cousins has been a pro skateboarder for over 20 years now. He makes very good money.

He made a lot more starting his own skateboard company, though.

If they're not using it, maybe we could borrow it for the border with Mexico. Maybe electrify it.

"The guy's 31 years old and he's still skateboarding?"

Tony Hawk is laughing at you.
