Skate Or Die! (But, Preferably, Just Die)
Forget what Stacey Peralta tried to teach you in Dogtown And Z-Boys, everyone knows the real thrasher revolution took place when Michael J. Fox latched onto the back of that pickup truck during the opening minutes of Back To The Future. While skating was certainly popular in underground circles before Bob Zemeckis taught Marty McFly how to ollie, it was the mammoth success of BTTF that allowed skateboarders to springboard from the underground into the mainstream. And while we have a modicum of respect for Tony Hawk and Bam Margera and the rest of the dudes who kick and push their way through the X Games, we think that most of us would agree that skateboarders are, more often than not, annoying as all get out. Case in point: a bunch of pseudopunk deckdogz were thrashing about outside of the HMS Bounty while Molls and Ed tried to have themself a nice dinner. The resulting video not only brings you a list of fun things To Do in Los Angeles tonight, but also takes aim at these rapscallions who we'd rather see zipping around on Heelies. Enjoy!
