Dylan Rieder On Energy Drink Sponsorship

by The Editors on April 19, 2012

6Dc9Ce8Af8233579B7732Ca42D2A26Db“Fuck. You couldn’t pay me a million dollars to wear one of those logos on my forehead. Their shit is fucked. It’s cool for those guys; they make a lot of money. I despise logos and I think it’s contractual if you sign up for one of those things that every time you’re on your board you have to have one of their logos near or on your body; it’s kind of retarded. They make little stickers that look like your shirt tags and you’re supposed to put them on you. It’s retarded. I don’t understand the Nascar outfit. The whole race car uniform shit just blows my mind. But all those dudes are rich now so kudos to them.”

Aaron Salta, a musician from Geelong, Australia, who is trying to skateboard 2,000 km to “raise awareness about depression,” got a ticket today (April 17, 2012), according to a story in the Herald Sun.

Mr Salta, 30, [was] less than 200km north of his destination of Adelaide. . . [when a] a South Australian motorcycle police officer . . . fined him $108 for riding a “toy” on a road that has a speed limit greater than 50km/h.

We have to admit, Salta does look like he’s just begging for police harassment, doesn’t he?
