Devin Supertramps videos make me want to strangle puppies.

Take an extreme sport, add some attractive 20-somethings, and set it all to a soundtrack of cavity-inducing, bubblegum mashups.

Rinse and fucking repeat.

How do they hit those ramps without tearing their feet off their bodies? Barefoot is just awesome.

seamless, wet fiberglass at a low angle. when you barefoot, the waterline is below the balls of your feet (when forward), so you just slide right up the jump.

Guess I never thought wet fiberglass would slide very well with wet feet.

I saw like two of his videos and though, "Alright, this is kinda cool." Then I watched more....and more...and more. Now I don't even have to see that he did it. As soon as the music kicks in and the drone pans across the crowd of cheering 20 somethings I'm just like....."Yup....."

sometimes not at all. sometimes it's absolutely fucking brutal. water isn't soft at 40 mph. eventually you kind of learn how to fall, but you'll still get your fucking bell rung every now and then....come up disoriented, seeing stars with the wind completely knocked out of you...after you managed to kick yourself in the back of the head since you didn't get tucked before your face hit the water.

some chick got paralysed just recently because she crashed right before/on the jump...i guess she caught a toe right before which sent her in to a faceplant....on the jump. so yeah, she smacked her face on a solid piece of wood/fiberglass at 40 mph and fucked her world all up.
