Extreme hardcore slip n slide

I know I know, I said there would only be a post every couple of days or so, but truthfully, I really have nothing better to do with my time. Today, the writers of this blog went to the 3rd annual Powersliding championship in Santa Monica. Powerwhat you say, exactly. So we decided on a little pre championship research and for those of you who have not seen this coolness in action, the following is a small clip of said sport:

cool right?

thats what we thought.

a bunch of rad dudes sliding all over on their levis

boy were we wrong.

Apparently the speed of these "rad" fellows in the video is adjusted, and it is one "sport" where watching it live fails (im being very kind here) to live up to its expectations. Thank god it was a freebie. As you know, most extreme sports have a variety of pretty technical names, for example, when a snowboarder spins 3 full rotations forward, it would be dubbed the "front side 1080". Fitting? We think so. Now the good people of the world of "extreme powersliding" (that is apparently what they are calling themselves) have taken some liberties when it comes to naming their moves, and boy did they strip the sport of its last remaining bits of dignity. I understand that technical names wouldn't exactly cut it in powersliding (a little hard to imagine someone being applauded for a "laying down on a double bar and sliding" move), but calling a spread eagle (think porn) down a bar "DP" falls somewhere between disgusting (men only have one hole) and more disgusting, varying degrees based on your imagination. Especially when said move was pulled off in front of a dwindling crowd of 30 with the announcer screaming into the microphone. It was harder to endure than a friday morning recitation. 

But we soldiered on. 

why?

we are men, this is what we like.

and free tacos, we love free tacos too. 

Kendra, Wee Man from Jackass and Johnny Mosley (i dont know if i spelled his name right, some skier) made up the celebrity judges. Loose qualifications. The event was capped off with a cool performance from the suspected druggy band Matt and Kim (nobody sober smiles THAT much). Kim, as we found out half way through the show, is a girl. This caused clan generationaptathy to move from our entrenched location way in the back for a better look. Great decision. Next time we swore to bring cameras. Overall not a bad day of work. 

I want to take this opportunity to thank those of you who have read this blog in its infancy. Your comments and ideas are very much appreciated. Please help spread the word so clan generationaptathy can move out of our respective mother's homes. Thanks

Sincerely,

Raymond Chau
