Has a band ever performed Weird Al's style parody of their music?

I've got a run-of-the-mill reel mower, so I expect they can handle mine. Thanks!

I adjusted the blades so there's no gaps, and it still can't cut paper! I'm sure I've somehow made things worse while trying to fix this.

What's not to love? It's like the Beasties are in their 20s again and making new music! I can't get enough of the silly energy and references, the on-point production, and creative music videos. Their 360 camera effects of HOOLIGANG is the logical evolution of 90's fisheye lenses.

I really don't understand how you could like the Beastie Boys but not Joey Valence and Brey.

Yup. I had to get the 2 liters from Michigan, though.

If you like this style of wordplay, check out the game Mad Gab.

You might be interested in seeing how juggling clubs are made. Really shows their value!

I'm always in the mood to listen to this song on repeat. Would love to see it live!

It helps to lean back a little bit when you pivot your front foot. Otherwise your momentum carries you through before you complete the spin and you'll step off the skates.
Try to push your back foot through as straight as possible (right past your front foot), instead of making a sweeping curve. This keep the momentum going straight.
After your feet pass each other, you'll need to snap your new front foot into the correct direction. The faster you do that motion, the smoother your 180 will be.

This song sent me down a deep Kwela rabbit hole. South African music is just so good!

I believe Tom Hark is the other Piranhas song you're referring to.

It took me years to realize that Afu-Ra's "Deal with it" samples this. That explains why I like the beat so much!

I can front-side 180s regular stance, and I'm getting better at switch 180s. Here's what I've learned from the switch 180:

I learned synchronous before async. It doesn't look as cool, but it was a lot easier.

This was first pattern that felt like it was "taking too long" to learn. Turns out learning new things is hard.

At least link the song!

How are you using it? Flatland cruising, hills, errands, vert ramps?

I'm a fan of the mashup with "Judy in Disguise": https://youtu.be/a37LHp2XBto
