This is a video of a bunch of dudes extreme scootering. Or is it scooting? Because one time my dog extreme scooted her ass across the carpet clear from one side of the room to the other. You kind of have to watch the video to appreciate just how good these guys are. Like the screenshot I used (from 2:26) is of a guy who goes off a ramp, gets upside down, then kicks his scooter around one way with one foot, then back around the opposite way with the other, then lands. That probably made no sense -- I'm kind of bad at explaining things. "But you're a writer." No, I'm a thought-typer. "What's the difference?" I can't be held to any professional standard.

Hit the jump for the video.

Thanks again to Clark, who doesn't participate in extreme sports because he likes his bones the same way he likes his promises: unbroken.

    I can honestly say I had no idea indoor synchronized bike riding was a real thing. But now that I do, I can't say I'm surprised (I once saw a grown-ass man lounging in a kiddy pool in his front yard, beating himself in the head with an oversized plastic bat). So yeah, I guess... / Continue →

  • Its still gay... and not the good dick sucking kind of gay either.

  • I love it when people take something that is super dumb and elevate it to something can be appreciated and respected for the skill and athleticism it obviously takes to do this. The only problem I see with the scooter thing is its kind of limiting in what you can potentially do with it, but this is still sick as hell. Makes me wanna go skate, too bad its like 10 degrees.

    Extreme Pogo sticks(if that's what they call it) are pretty sweet too.
