LOL @ the line at the bottom of the screen saying:
"DO NOT ATTEMPT" when they show a grind
I mean, sure I know grinds are tougher than your average heeling, especially on bricks etc like that one, but you have to attempt to learn eh?
A Heelys Commerical saying to the customers "buy heelys with grindplates but don't attempt grinds" seems kind of funny to me
I suppose they are just saying that to cover their asses against kids parents who might sue for injuries, but it still makes me chuckle for them to say "buy these cool grinding shoes, but please don't grind" |

Its a just a CYA thing... Unfortunately we live in a society that people have to be warned about EVERYTHING. I saw a commercial of a dude walking across an intersection (it was not jaywalking and he had the OK to cross) and it said "Professional Stuntman. Do Not Attempt". I don't understand some things... But then again, I don't want to |

Yeah, on the coffee cups we get from the vending machines at work it says "CAUTION: CONTENTS MAY BE HOT"
They'd f***ing well better be! |

Maybe they should make the disclaimer more realistic and funny: have a scene where someone's heeling fast outdoors and gets a stone in their wheel and does a faceplant, and a little warning message appears at the bottom saying: "This is what happens if you get too cocky and try to skate beyond your ability, so watchout!" |

or maybe that's a good idea...
Jackass had thousands of people getting ran over by cars... Scars made it so getting hurt and capturing it could get you on Cable TV... Faceplanting in Heelys may make sales go up... Pain sells just like Sex sells (and if you want to argue that, then why did they use models?) |

You ever seen the chapter on the Animatrix with the kid who uses his skateboard to avoid the agents coming for him at his school? |
