Default what is it about this photo that relates to skateboarding...?

I took this from Seth Godin's blog...couldn't resist...



I read much into this photo...

1. perhaps the person who painted the line felt moving the tree branch was "not his job"
2. IF he or she moved the branch, things wouldn't look so screwed up
3. how much work would have gone into moving the branch?
4. sometimes, not moving the obvious or not challenging the obvious can have disasterous results...

what say you?

what would have you done?

"Straight lines. All I ever get to do is straight lines.
Hmmm, at last a chance to show my skill!"

Or, if the painter was thinking about bombing, he may have moved the branch. He didnt, so he was probably thinking about slalom.

This kind of stuff makes me sad. Somebody who does that deserves to be jobless.
