“Skate and Annoy”
Slamming in the 1980s, no idea what show this was.
At the time there was this whole “skate and destroy” meme going around. I wanted to destroy plenty of things just as much as anyone else, but I never figured out what the two had in common.

Return of the Friday Video! The Bags: Big Wig
The Bags, live 9/20/08: Big Wig
