 I bet the kid with the ball is wondering how many points he would get for hitting a dude on a bike on his goal off the goal.

 yeh !!!! Awesome pic ! with the effel tower on background Smile and an very good rider...
How he can ride that !!!!
  • 8 1
 Yeah I think he should go ride the eiffel tower next :>

 couldnt make any funny pun for this so ill just say. Sick shot, Sick skill.

 WOW whats that pointy thing in the background, blackpool tower.
  • 3 3
 Considering its in Paris, are you actually being serious? Eek
  • 6 4
 im joking and they both look the same except blackpool is better cause its in ENGLAND.
  • 3 6
 Is that you trying to big up England or something? :/

 Umm, dude, considering the UK is now like 20% Brits and 80% from like, Arabia, turkey and all those scummy places, england isn't that great anymore. I went there 5 years ago, and I went there 2 months ago again, my god it's changed. SO many friggin foreigners.
  • 3 3
 Go no then, neg prop me. But it's the truth, England isn't what it was 5 years ago.

 I'm deleting your first comment as there's no place for racism on this site, or any where for that matter! The UK is made up of a mix of races and it's a good place for that reason - my German girlfriend would now love to kick your arse!!

 So the site won't let me delete it...your ridiculous comment will have to stay...nice work!!

 Good. That's another point. The UK is getting WAY too PC for it's own good. I mean, the whole police officer thing where he said his only boss was allah.... and they didn't do anything, I mean, what is the world coming too when stuff like this happens. There was a time when religion ruled the world, it was called the DARK AGES. And you say i'm being racist? Dude, that's hardly anything, when Islamic people go marching down the street trying to convert the UK to their religion, is that racist? I mean, there's a place for their religion. If brits went to their country and started rallying trying to convert them, what do you think would happen? A war would start.

 I must have missed the mail letting me know that it's now PC to use the term '...and all those scummy places'!?!
There's a time and a place for a fraction of your argument, but it's not here and it's certainly not with me.

 I'm not trying to be PC. Not in any way.

 Wuffy27 is so true and i actually wish it was the same as 10 year ago when you would go into town and see about 1 black family now you go and there everywhere with there headscarfs on. Mate are you being serious "The UK is made up of a mix of races" the UK is suppost to be a white country therefore Pakistanis, Indians, Polish and all other foreigners should not be here.

 Hmmm... anyone else notice the chemtrails in the sky there? Check out the difference between the natural cloud formations (white, fluffy, roundish) and the unnatural-looking sprayed chemtrails (greyish, flat, in criss-cross lines and spreading)

Totally amazing riding and great photo!

 Pretty average move! See the hooks for the net on the frame? He jumped up hook by hook to the silver bar, then hooked his front wheel around the silver bar, swung around underneath and whipped himself onto the crossbar. All very boring! Can't understand what all the fuss is about!
