higher education

ok since im trying to learn how to skate i think i should probably familiarize myself with some of the superstars in the sport. because honestly all i know right now is that tony hawk is like the michael jordan for skating or something and that rob and big is a great show. so heres some overview of some pro skaters both for your information and mine. (most, if not all information taken from wikipedia naturally)


yeah so this is tony hawk. apparently hes the best. made up a bunch of tricks, makes millions of dollars, and is the "face" if you will of skateboarding. good name too. tony hawk. i wonder if thats his christian name.




paul rodriguez. i put him on here cause i guess he designed my p-rod shoes. i dont know anything about him though. he kind of looks italian.

heres rob dyrdek and his bff big black(?) i think thats his name. he stars in one of the few reality shows (the only one on MTV) that doesnt make make want to blow my brains out and kill everyone on the show too. i think the black guy has his own clothing line with his initials. i like that. i want one too.

now with all these guys up here i guess we need to show the lady skateboarders some love:

her name is ryan and she has this really cute reality show but its weird cause she always seems to be whining about something. maybe she is just always on her period whenever theyre filming. anyway, yeah a great inspiration for all the young girls who want to make a bunch of money playing around with a skateboard and then cry about how hard your life is and how "stressed" you are. HANG IN THERE RYAN!
