Everything about this video is perfect



From the ICP high-water pants/sleeveless combo, to his sweet old school visor-down Mace helmet, to the fact a guy named "Psycho" was riding a Norco model called "The Chaos," this video is perfect. That gem of a song is from rap rock band Hollywood Undead, today's torchbearer of the ICP flame, and it's only fitting that this dude's crew had some sort of music to set the tone for how heavy it was going to get when their main man dropped in on this 15-stair huck.


Hollywood Undead: everything that you loved about ICP, but more of it.


Psycho stomps that landing, and at the end of the day that $650 whip off craigslist just couldn't handle the totality of how awesome he was. It may have taken him 3 minutes and a whole city block to get up to speed, but once he lands the awesome is immediate. He just drops that shit and lets the world know how real he is. So real.



Editor's note: after watching this video for the 15th time I realized dudebro doesn't even clear the stairs. And the Norco Chaos he's on is from 2007. And when it was stock it looked like this:



 
Everything is so perfect. I can't make this stuff up.

Camelbak + freeriding = ?


Subtle.
 
 
Because when you spend the best years of your twenties chasing perfection and pursuing a dream at mortal risk to your body, to celebrate your moment of ultimate triumph you'll want a trophy that looks like someone spraypainted an $8 water bottle. Oh, but it looks like textured spraypaint, so that somehow makes it better.
 
 
 
 
 
Why again is Camelbak the presenting sponsor of the Freeride Mountain Bike Tour? Literally no one on the entire tour is riding in a Camelbak, and maybe three of them will ever even consume water from a Camelbak waterbottle. I don't follow or watch the FMB because I don't care, but maybe, just maybe, best case scenario Camelbak corporate has hot chicks in Camelbak t-shirts handing out Camelbak-branded bottles of water to riders after the final drop or the finish line or whatever you call it in these second rate non-racing events.
 
But that's best case scenario, and I assume all those contests have an energy drink sponsor who's already done that and is light years ahead of Camelbak in terms of marketing. Again, I haven't watched so I don't know, but I'd be willing to guess that Monster already has hordes of nameless, faceless, bleach-blonde 10's hording the base of every slopestyle course in green bikini-tops and leather bondage miniskirts handing out drinks with backmounted sound systems blasting Awolnation while on fire and shooting green fireworks out of their 10-inch green LED stilettos. Just an educated guess.
 
 
And besides all that, it's written in all Camelbak contracts that no one can do a 360, or a backflip, or anything rad, in a Camelbak other than Kirt Voreis.
 
 
I'm not making this up either, this is official signed-and-sealed contract shit we're talking about here.

Lewis and Clark pride




Standing by Willamette's water

Tow'ring o'er its blue

Rises our dear Alma Mater,

Proudly to the view.
  
  


Where the town and snow-capped mountain

Charm the heart and eye,

There our love with center ever,

Love that cannot die.

CHORUS

Swell the chorus, ever louder

Full of joy and cheer,

Hail to thee, our Alma Mater-

Lewis and Clark, so dear.

LAKE OSWEGO, Ore. – More than 60 underage kids were drinking and one girl was found passed out in the basement from alcohol consumption at a party in Lake Oswego, police said.

Lake Oswego police responded to the report of a party at a rented house in the 13000 block of Knaus Road just before 10:30 p.m. Saturday, according to Sgt. Tom Hamann of the Lake Oswego Police Department.

Sixty citations were issued for underage drinking, police said. According to Christie Scott, spokeswoman for the OLCC, some of those citations were issued to juveniles under the age of 18.

Many of the partying teens were Lewis and Clark College students.

“From what I understand, these students had rented this house in Lake Oswego, seemingly far enough away from Lewis and Clark that if they were partying, campus safety couldn’t get them,” Scott said.



Party on, Garth.
