First off: Comcast, you bastards, turn our internet on.

We hope you all enjoyed your Independence Day. We sure did. We spilled lots of mustard on our shirt (plural?) and threw bottle rockets at squirrels. American as hell.

What did you do?

The 4th is especially significant for the “action sports” community. Just like our founding fathers, “action sporters” are radical dudes. How extreme was it to rebel against the British? Way extreme bro.

Radical Dude Danny Kass along with fellow X-Gamers Nate Holland and Grete Eliassen recently “dropped in” alongside troops in Afghanistan. (via Firsttracksonline.com)

Their mission was to experience another way of living on the edge and increase the stokage of servicemen and women in Bagram.

After firing a couple of rounds at the shooting range, Holland remarked: “These weapons are awesome! What you do is awesome!” It sure is Nate, except for the getting shot at part.

Danny Kass then cracked an ollie, Bagram-style, for America.
