Never having heard of such a sport I went to go have a look. I was amazed that in a tourney with teams from Germany, France, Australia, and the Netherlands, there still seemed to only be one type of person playing... hipsters. There is somewhere a PReppy Handbook hipster equivalent and in that book is a page with the heading "Bicycle Messenger" and that page has a diagram of every single player in that tournament.
I learned first hand that Berlin can in fact look identical to Brooklyn.; 13 July, 2011 07:21

With birth control footwear like that, it's truly amazing anyone in Europe has sex. Oh wait! The birth rate among the native-born population over there is perilously plummeting, so...

Main Line Sportsman said...: Around the Hunting Club we have a term for guys like that: "Veal-Boy"...and the filthy quasi-prehensile toes are just damn offensive and crying to be stepped on with a nice vibram soled Chippewa or Red Wing boot....or in your case...Jump Boots.; 13 July, 2011 16:16

Trailer Trad said...: The comments submitted by the regulars today are kind of like this guy's toe nails; sharp, cutting, off-color and very funny.; 13 July, 2011 18:13

Slim Jenkins said...: America's neurotic obsession with cleanliness has produced an everyday aesthetic that is repelled by anything that isn't airbrushed, phoney or synthetic. In a nutshell the US recoils from the whiff of reality, in all its expressions. These are the feet of a man - period. Remarkable that you considered this remarkable.; 18 July, 2011 05:51
those tricks said...: hahaha "Let them wear Birks!"; 18 July, 2011 13:21
Anonymous said...: Enough with the pro Birk comments! He is not a lesbian! He is a man with dirty feet. To quote Mammy in Gone With the Wind: "If it ain't fittin, it ain't fittin!", and those dirty toes ain't fittin! Please show some respect for the lesbians of this world that wash their feet before slipping on their Birks!; 20 July, 2011 23:22
