SHit, I didnt finish...

...sts, on a black individual, as a contender, who never really made it anywhere, on new schoolers.

5 years ago however this happened. And we are still talking about it.. Some like this triggered a brain flick in our brain, and somehow let us delve several years back in our minds.!! Frightening....



If anyone, anyone anyone, can understand the lightning bolt thoughts I am feeling. Holla me up.

I am almost positive that the black guy in the freeze contenders a while back was nicky adams, cuz i remember them asking how the transition was from rollerblading, to ski boarding to skiing
