ratbert90 posted:These professionals didn't wear pads until they were professionals. Tony Hawk was also a pro since he was 14, so that video has him about 10 years after becoming a professional skater just rolling around the street. The common image of him in his helmet and pads came after he became an outright celebrity.

You see, not wearing this helmet will give me more incentive to not gently caress up this sweet backflip. We gotta bunch of shoobies in this thread.

Lime Tonics posted:You would think the #1 news source in america would vet people better but...nah. So he got in trouble, but the people who used his false credentials to propagate their own faulty viewpoints for years don't get poo poo, how about that. Is there a regulatory body that stops TV news from just saying whatever the gently caress they like, or do they have to have legal action taken against them after the fact? 'cause I've seen news places making poo poo up and distorting the truth since I got old enough to pay attention to the news, and I feel like the net change in public knowledge/misinformation and opinion has probably added up pretty grievously over the last few decades.

I'm pretty sure there's no regulation among private networks outside of outright breaking laws or doing something lawsuit-worthy. Like if CNN committed slander or libel they could get in trouble, but being deceived by a fake analyst doesn't really merit punishment. I think the only thing that could cause a private network to suffer legal action for expressing viewpoints would be advocating something that actually endangers its viewers, like encouraging suicidal behavior or declaring RaHoWa and telling everyone watching to go to town on their neighbors.

Lime Tonics posted:Simmons had appeared on Fox News, a unit of 21st Century Fox and the top-ranked U.S. cable television news network, as an unpaid guest analyst on terrorism since 2002. What the gently caress why? Why would anybody lie and break federal laws to appear for free? Is this a common thing, where people submit themselves to Fox just because they want to be on television spouting their bullshit?

Regardless of how short a distance you're driving/how slowly you're biking/how safe your skateboard surroundings, it's never a BAD idea to put on your seatbelt/wear a helmet/use appropriate pads. I'd say this goes double for when you're about to get on a skateboard made of glass.

It's not his job at Fox News that was the issue. quote:Simmons admitted that he defrauded the government in 2008 when he got work as a team leader in an Army program, and again in 2010 when he was deployed to Afghanistan as an intelligence adviser. It's his work with the federal government, and some woman.

It looks like he had glass under him as he slid. And then they were showing the needle-like shards that could have gone anywhere. I'm only up to #12 of "Make It We'll Skate It" and it's a blast. I'm not even the least into skateboarding, but it's a cool idea and they seem like cool dudes. There does seem to be some truth to the "knowing how to land" thing because they all seem to move a certain way as they fall and hit the ground in a similar way. I never learned to fall right which is why I my skateboarding/rollerskating/rollerblading lifestyle was super short-lived. I suspect I was a big wuss as a kid.

It's true, go ask anyone in an orthopedic ward how glad they are they didn't look like a dork. "Sure I can't lay on my right side anymore without agony and sometimes piss myself while the hot physical therapists help me walk halfway across a room in under an hour, but those guys at the park sure weren't making fun of me six months ago."

I have heard that once a person reaches 6' tall they have a dramatically increased risk of dying if they fall and hit their head. Should I start wearing a helmet in the shower? I'm 6' btw.

Never was much of a street skater, more longboard cruiser but I've been binging this channel for a month now since I first came across it. Glad folks in this thread appreciate it too. Also, the schadenfreude ain't bad.

During a panel today one of the Star Wars Rogue One actors casually mentioned that one of the other actor's character dies in the movie. Don't read the article if you don't want to know who. http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/07/15/star-wars-celebration-2016-cast-member-appears-to-drop-huge-rogue-one-spoiler-during-panel This guy's got a video of it for now, but apparently Disney's pulling them down. Don't even open the link if you care, since the text in the tweet give its away. https://twitter.com/AlbertChessa/status/ 753987669290471424 Whoopsie!

Also, yeah this poor lady was fat but she was at the gym, clearly she's trying to do something about it. Isn't that what she's supposed to do?
