50 Parents

Here’s how this blog is going to work. We’re on the road from Shawnee, Oklahoma following our movie shoot with Trey Canard, on the road to Santa Fe, New Mexico to meet up with our partner Andrew Campo. It’s a hair past midnight and Travis just took the wheel. In effort to stay awake we’ve decided to play a little game. Travis and John Parkinson are going to give me a topic to discuss. I will then have ten minutes to choose a side based on either factual for fictional reasoning and argue my point. To add a twist I will also be forced to include five words given to me. At no time prior to the start of the blog have I been given any information pertaining to the topic or the five words.

 

Let the game begin…

 

Topic: 50 Parents

 

Five words: gainer, donut hole, foot locker, red bull, milk man

 

Just being able to pull off a back flip or a gainer from the high dive isn’t good enough for today’s parents…especially today’s fifty parents. These donut hole eating, footlocker dads spend 99% of their time getting hyped up on red bull and working on their farmers tans and they expect their six year old kid to be able to rip off a 60 ft table. But that’s what racing is all about, right? Go big or go home.

 

It doesn’t matter if you’re six or sixty; you better bring your nuts to the track if you want to go home with a trophy. Winning is all that matters. Win at the 50 level and you will win at the 60, 80, 125 and 250 levels. Don’t, and your future being a milk man is certain.

 

So I say to all the pit board waving, neck vein bulging fifty parents out their, get tougher. You don’t want your kid growing up to be some sissy, do you? Drive into that corner harder, jump that jump farther and for God’s sake, don’t you dare try and pull off that track outside the top five. We’ve got sponsors to please.

 

Grip it and rip it.
