Who saw it coming?

Remember internet skate sensations the Puehse Twins Apparently they are over skateboarding for time being, preferring to pursue tennis instead. Grover has an awesome story about doing the robot during high school doubles tournaments, and that’s as a competitor, not someone in the stands. Oooh, it’s painful to watch these kids wooden delivery. It’s hard to reconcile them with the kids in the movie trailer. UPDATE: I was about tho schedule this post but on previewing it I discovered both the videos had been removed. Here’s the gist. In video one the twins explain how they are leaving skateboarding to focus on tennis because they’ve been skating forever and it just isn’t as fun to them anymore. They go on to thank all of their big name sponsors and then crack some jokes. I guess they caught a lot of flack in their Youtube comments, scrolling through them the removed comments seemed to outnumber the ones still left by four to one. To combat that they released a second video acknowledging the haters and backtracked a little. The main points being that they never said they were quitting skateboarding forever, and reminded people that they said they might be back and they might not, which was true. I guess their management decided to pull the videos completely instead of just, you know, disabling comments. Ah.. the interwebs and skateboarding are so beautiful together. Extreme!&trade I’m sure there are more interesting or noteworthy things happening in the skateboarding world right now, but you’re at Skate and Annoy, so you knew what you were getting into.
