Skatespot names GoGurt the official food-like substance of skateboarding
I hear some cynics out there complaining that skateboarding has been molested by evil corporations that wish to use skating as lazy short-hand for youthful rebellion in a sinister effort to sell all bunch of nutritionally dubious snack food to young, anti-authoritatian would be consumers. Hey, that might be true for red bull, gatorade, bagel bites, and McDonalds, but GoGurt is different. Just check out this commercial.
Here's how you can tell GoGurt is legit:
-Check out that trick. Over a bulldog, over some lame-o in a lawn chair, and landing in a frontside tail! That kind of shredage can't be faked with editing and camera trickery. It just can't.
-Spoon's really do represent a big problem in skating. A heavy spoon in the cargo pocket really throws off your balance and we've all had those gnarly spoon-bruises from slamming on them. Before GoGurt's patented "Grab and Glurp" technology, I had to choose between gruesome spoon injuries or leaving my yogurt at home. And, I don't know about you, but I never rip a session without some thick, creamy yogurt to quench my thirst
-The skater in this commercial doesn't represent your stereotypical skater. First of all, he's fully padded while skating street, which clearly bucks the image of skaters as fool-hearty daredevils. And secondly, instead of ridiculing that spoon-holding lame-o, like we might expect a
"cool" skater to do, he chooses to helps the clueless, spoon-welding dweeb by tossing his extra yogurt tube right at his face with supersonic speed.
Yoplait told skateboarding to "lose the spoon", and skateboarding listened. That's why right here, right now, by the power vested in me (which is no power), I'm replacing bagel bites with GoGurt as the official food-like substance of skating. Go forth and glurp my friends.
