It would be great to hack a bunch of those things at Toys R Us. Some suggestions:
Ryan Heckler
are those built in rails or are they molded hand grips?

I wish my board had a “shelvable window box with fold-over 5th panel”

somebody should really consider loosening that poor kid’s trucks, all that lean and the poor kid still cant get a carve.

does it come with a heckle feature? “wrong push foot, kook!” or “if the front wheels don’t touch the deck, your rock and roll does NOT count.” or perhaps “no matter how many flyouts you do, they will never be cool.”

1986? No way, that thing looks more like a pregnant popsicle stick!

“You hear that clickety clack bro? That’s a flat spot. Pull your head out of your ass…brohime.”

I’m sorry bro, I’m afraid I can’t do that. This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I’m afraid that’s something I cannot allow to happen, bro.

“20 minutes into the session and your already tired? you suck bro.”
“hey barney, you mind dropping some pounds bro?”
enemy combatant
“You call that a kickflip? You suck, bro.”

“After this sess you want to get some hookers?”
“Do you have an extra syringe, bro?”
“Stop whining you pussy…bro”
