Ya can't do this on a BV500 kids
Okay - it's not a "Vespa" but he is riding the Krap outta it. This was shot at the Bowl of Marseille, a skate park in France. The riders name is Boulon. (Alternately, the name of a commune in France and a metal "bolt").
It might be possible that he is just trying to establish that he has a "screw-loose" in Frog lingo.
You have gotta love the wee power and flexibility of little scooters. For urban fun, they have it all. Tell me that scooter would not come in handy during a Zombie Invasion or possible End-of-the-World senario!
Oddly, most of the comments on a french scooter site seem express that fact that many skaters are not impressed with Boulons antics.
"The good snapshot of Marseilles, an acorn on a stolen scooter that is doing anything to impress."
"A guy on a 30-year stunt sad: lol: At this age he should be father and driving a minivan ..."
For me, this earns Boulon one Unimpressed Spock meme outta 5. That is because I am an old white lady and this stuff seems pretty cool to me.
