Way of the future























So my mom wanted to post a comment on the blog from the other day, so she sent it to me to post. Here it is: "I love the dog farting story, but what I really want is raw footage of disgusting tricks under the Arc de Triumph.  Let's see some of that Rogue Nation Post Apocalyptic Thunder that you boys are famous for." There you go mom, your comment is finally out there. Thank you for your contributions. So you might be asking yourself what business we have rumbling at the Eiffel Tower. Or you might think this kind of behavior is normal and expected from fellow Thunder Bolts. But this is not what we anticipated in coming to France. To make a long story short, it wasn't this epic brawl, it was 3 teenage kids trying to steal stuff from tourists at the Eiffel Tower, and they picked the wrong tourists to mess with. We didn't physically harm them, they're fine, but we scared the crap out of them, and the cops got a hold of them. So hopefully there are 3 less thieves out there on the street. That's what Bolts of Thunder does to people, rehabilitates them. Whether with the sword or the skateboard, or both, we will rehabilitate you. So we've been skating and walking around Paris for about 12 hours straight every single day for the past 9 days and my body is tired. Today is laundry/chill day. For me and Matt at least. And Dave too, I think. Dan asked us last night what time the sun comes up because he wanted to get an early start on the day. He has more energy than I remembered from before. He's enamored with Paris, which makes it fun to see his reactions when we see big monuments and stuff, it makes it a lot more fun for the rest of us. So after we all go back home in a week ish, Dan's going on a 5 week bike trip through Europe. I wish so bad that I could strap a video camera to him and relive all his amazing adventures. I know for sure he will have many amazing adventures too, there's no doubt about it. Dan, take as many pictures as you can without looking like a mugging target and tell us all your crazy stories when you're back... Ok, I'll just put up some pictures and you can look at them. So all of this post's pictures focus on Matt and Dave. They are quite the dynamic duo, and they work great as a team. Dave wants to do crazy stuff, and Matt can make these crazy things sound sane with his jedi persuasion skills. It's a talent that Matt possesses and has harvested over the years. I have been the subject of much of Matt's honing, allowing Matt to fine tune his talents and use them on other members of Bolts of Thunder. It makes our video much cooler... So that first picture, you know what Dave's thinking. That's all I have to say bout that. That picture of Dave yelling or whatever, with the camera up in his face. That was the exact moment the alien ripped out of his chest. That grass hill that Dave bombed on the old school board is absolutely nuts, and high clothing stain potential. Now if I may draw your attention to the pictures of Matt skating, you will notice that Matt is shredding every and all harsh terrains on his old school board. Old school boards, that's the way of the future, way of the future... way of the future... way of the future...

  1. I like to think that that is smoke coming from Dave's wheels in the last picture of the infamous green hill picture series. It makes me really feel like Dave is shredding it up over there.
