Love skateboarding, used to do it all the time... hate the X-Games. But that was pretty sweet.

And wait... that thing on the Bungle message board was about Odell Thurman and Michael Vick. What did the Steelers have to do with it?

I swear, the Bengal fans will blame EVERYTHING on the Steelers if given the chance.
