ADAM 22.0 PRESENTS

MY 69420ICPBBQ CENTS:

This argument is illogical and people who use it are not intelligent:

"This person is having more fun than you"

SHUT THE FUCK UP. How do you know how much fun I have? Plz. Enlighten me.

And now for what brought me to say that:

Mike Mastroni has been a hot topic lately, not just because he traded his emo clothes with a homeless scenster bum, but because of his "GROUNDBREAKING CREATIVITY. lol.

"Mike Mastroni is s0o0o creative."

Sure, and so are muuuuultipe other people out there, they just don't feel that a 'put my hand down while doing a crankstall on a moving playground obstacle' is really worth filming. Besides, Im sure if Joe 'No Name' Balony filmed a line like that people would think it was lame. But if someone with some heat behind them does it, aka Mastroni, Nathan WIlliams, Garret Reynolds, or Whoooever, it will be viewed as "Toootally creative." Trust me, I get it, skateboarders have been doing the whole "Im more creative and having more fun than you" thing for years.

One can be creative without pulling an Adolescent Special, (Blonde faux hawk on monday - cock rail piercings, sharpies eyebrows and a leather coat on tuesday). One can be creative while still maintaining the style they always have, and while still riding within the realm of what's normally known as bmx. A great example of creativity in bmx is a barspin to toboggan manual to barspin out clip in an Embassy video released a few months back. (Sorry I don't remember the name of the rider.)

You don't need to dress in your slutty sister's jean shorts and pretend like you don't care what your grandma thinks of your homeless trash beard just to portray yourself as creative. And if somebody does decide to dress this way, it doesn't mean they have more fun than anyone else when they ride. Strangely enough.

Oh BTW:

Needs more short shorts, playgrounds, and creepy facial hair.

Needs more short shorts, homeless facial hair and playgrounds.

AND NOW MY OTHER COUPLE OF CENTS:

Just because a company makes a part a certain way, does not mean it will make you a better rider, or that the part is any way proper on a bmx bike. Massive 10 inch tall bars fit under this category. Has anybody taken the time to realize that once you get passed "shoulder width", the wider your bars get, the lower your shoulders become? which by the way, works AGAINST the entire reasoning people buy topload stems,

As an added note on big bars: I DO UNDERSTAND THE BENEFITS OF USING A SUITABLE SIZED BAR. But when you weigh 135 lbs and are 5' 8", you are limiting yourself by using a bar bigger than ~8 inches.

A MAN-SIZED man can get away with it, yes. But to all you kids out there with xxl bars, you look like idiots.
