[melifont monk]

wait wait wait wait....they paid someone for that article?

[pavedwave]

he forgot to put "The End" at the end

[Cheefa]

how can people write this stuff, and publish it with no sourced info

[Alpha06]

Lmao i've written better crap than that.

Its like the stuff is meant to go on air or some crap...lots of small sentences and nothing really useful :P

[Rarrazz]

"Then Ms. Apple asked the next kindergartener to present their research."


Can we get a source, where is that lousy article from?

[MJKam11]

I don't ollie or skateboard, but I know that description is weak to say the least.

"and wearing tightpants will make you look cool and help you skate a bajillion times better!"

welcome to the world of news and other mainstream media. It exists in every aspect of our lives. news stories, sports, politics, etc etc.

Michael, where did you find that article and is that it in its entirety?

That's beyond horrible.

[burgundy]

Then why are you on this website?

i'm just guessing here...
but it could be because it's a longboarding site.
and they're mostly used for cruising, carving, and bombing; none of which require an ollie.
but maybe, just maybe... he's a spy.

or worse... the one who wrote that article, trying to get a better idea of the sport.

[blumrs26]

I can't stop laughing. I'm pretty sure the stuff I wrote in elementary school sounded better than that crap. Wow... just wow. Good find!

[claude regnier]

Look, I know all you guys are dazed and confused but it could have been worse! Couldn't it?

This was in a real paper? A real paid editor works there? Really now, c'mon Mike where did this come from? If it is soft paper I'd like to order a case as I am running low on toilet paper.

[dcphotos]

Maybe they don't pay their writers enough. I can write better than that and I'm a photog for crying out loud.

[Oligreen]

im ashamed this came from the uk!

found it!

How to do an ollie ... and other fascinating skateboarding facts - Bridlington Today

[grimble]

I'm surprised.
Bridlington Today is usually such an accurate and well renowned source of information and breaking news.

Who can forget the award winning article:
"How to dunk a rich tea biscuit... and other fascinating biscuit submersions" ?

The photo is also not up to their usual avant garde standards either.
How sad.

I didn't know 30'' was good for dh :S
