some of you might remember this past winter, when Booterboi arrived. Clueless and deaf(ipodded), HE PROCEEDED TO MAKE FRIENDS BY DROPPING IN ON EVERYONE.(click HERE to see past january’s viddy) It was explained to him, what a dangerous thing that is to do…especially when you got wheels on your feet and no helmet…you can’t run out and your head’s gonna smack like a hammer.
so then in february, he dropped in on someone and got knocked out. He got lotsa’ attention and took a ride on the Ambulance Machine.
since then, he’s been back at SPOA…doing silly flips and stuff without a helmet. you can jump off a skateboard, but when those booters wipe out, dude…it’s not a pretty sight. like running on marbles. I guess he hits his head enough to make himself really smart and stuff…
Today he paid(again). he front flipped outta the deep and on the way, smacked his forehead on the coping. as it usually goes when one smacks their forehead, he split the skin and bled a little. Immediately, he was all dramatic again, “somebody HELP ME!!!” …which of course goes against the “I’m an adult, my helmet choice only affects ME” clause in the Skater Code.
dooood, I’ve been trained in bloodborne pathogens…and I ain’t about to get Booter Blood on me and risk my life! It wasn’t a concussive head whack on flatbottom or anything. Truth is, after seeing him whack his head over and over and over…and seeing/hearing his piss-poor attitude towards everyone out there…one word, KARMA.
I told him he needed to stop doing this crap to people and get a helmet.(these bloody sorta’ things really affect the whole skatepark)
I offered to give him some gauze from my medical kit if he promised to buy a helmet…if he was gonna ever come back. He gave me the bloody finger and said, “YOU ARE THE MOST UNSUPPORTIVE PERSON EVER.” So I guess he decided to use his t shirt or something. hmmmm, he didn’t seem to want my gauze.
then after counting his fingers, he threw his skates into the roadway, jumped in his car and wound up that little black VW and tried to drift outta the parking lot. unfortunately, he couldn’t quite break the tires loose and just scrubbed the sidewalls on the way out.
btw
it’s amazing to see how many people will go outta their way to drive over a pair of froot boots…
…to be continued, fo’sho.
