I’m going to go ahead and let the cat out of the bag: Pro BMXers use the internet. Some even use popular web 2.0 servies like Facebook, Myspace and Twitter. Sometimes I notice things that certain pro’s or industry types say online and think “that’s funny” or “that’s weird”. I screen shot 5 examples, all of which you can check out after the jump with my usual obnoxious commentary.
Did Corey Bohan seriously write this as his status on Facebook? The same Corey Bohan who fucks girls from MTV shows and has won the NORA Cup for dirt 10 years in a row? Did he read this under a Snapple cap? That’s what I thought when I first saw this, but then I noticed subsequent, similar Facebook updates that say other, weird facts so I assume he’s either got an application going that auto-posts facts like this, or that Biz gave him a big book of wacky animal facts for Christmas.
This one is funny to me because of it’s redundancy. Mike Brennan OD’s all day, so of course he’s still ODing! This is also funny because it makes it seem like 1/5th of the words that leave Mike’s mouth are “OD”, which actually isn’t far from the truth.
I’m not sure what is funny about this. It’s kinda weird though right? It could go 2 ways. Either Aaron had been on a trip for a while prior to writing this status update and was happy to finally be in a bed, or that maybe Aaron is secretly a bed expert and he was spending the night in one of those $6000 mattresses that they tried to sell me at the store when I went in a few months ago to buy a normal $500 model.
For some reason the idea of Chris from Odyssey realizing what everyone else noticed 6 months ago is funny to me.
I highly doubt Ryan Sher intended for this Twitter update to end up as a guessing game, but unfortunately I can’t help myself. Who is the mystery Subrosabortionist? I think we can rule out Rich Hirsch. He’s already got a kid and he’s balling off that Lotek money so I doubt he’d be hard up for cash. Ryan Sher is of course out since it’s unlikely he’s Tweeting about himself. Eli Platt is a suspect since he’s an atheist and everyone knows that if you don’t believe in God, you’re probably really into murdering babies (but I still think he’s too polite to be the culprit). That leaves us with Hoang Tran who is notoriously dead broke, at least occasionally sexually active and probably not ready to have kids. Then again it could be one of Subrosa’s flow dudes, but I don’t really know much about most of them. I think we can rule Greg Smee out since he’d probably perform the abortion himself with a pair of pliers.
