If generation eXtreme has learned anything from excessive consumption of Mountain Dew and television, it is this: things are much cooler when you are rolling around on wheels. This is the reasoning employed by Heelys.
 

Danny Way does some big jumps on his skateboard. But the problem with his technique is that it is too similar to actual skateboarding. It is like he is skateboarding, just doing everything bigger. While interesting, it is not zany enough to be considered eXXXtreme.

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.
