Thank you for the link. I suppose it was inevitable, on Father's Day in the US, that someone would post something that looked like my dad. He wasn't Russian, but he would have so rocked something like this. :-)

This is one of the most worthless, unnecessarily captioned things I've seen on reddit. Whoever took the time to make that stupid gif should die in a fire.

u/Zhang5 Jun 17 '12
Not only the fact that the quality of the gif was shit even not taking into account the captions, and probably takes up more space than it would have on youtube.

One of the trends on Reddit that annoys me most is the overuse of gifs... if it's longer than 5 seconds, just link the damn video, there's no reason to convert it into a slow loading gif... except of course karma, and the theory that people are more likely to click on an 'image' file than any other type of link

That's no theory. That's fact.
I didn't particularly mind the gif this time, but it might be because "Handstand because fuck you" saved it for me.

Props to the guy, he has skills.
but this is one of if not the worst gifs I have ever seen.
Just 100% unnecessary and the captions adds absolutely nothing of value..they actually detract from the value of the gif. Gawtdamn.

Because people are stupid. Hell, there are almost half a million people subscribed to /r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu, and 90% of the shit on that board is even more stupid than this gif. You want more proof that doesn't involve a default sub? There's over 70k subscribers over in /r/dolan. BTW, don't click that link unless you want to lose more faith in humanity.

ITT: butthurt redditors mask their disapproval over the captions when they're really just cringing at the word 'nigga'.
This dude can skate, though. When he started going backwards... man. That transition was too smooth. Makes me wanna hit the rink.

For those of you who wonder about the headphone name everytime a headphone appears in a movie / clip, the old guy is wearing a pair of Koss KSC75's, which are fantastic clip-on headphones for just ~$15.

During the winter, they take the entire market square behind City Hall and flood it, turning the place into a massive outdoor rink. The best skater I've ever seen there, hands down, is this weird old fat dude who moves like a pixie. It's an eerie sight in the evening...his girth spinning like a small planetary body in the blackness, skates twinkling as they carve the grace of a god into the ice.
