In the movie “Back to School,” Rodney Dangerfield successfully performs a ‘Triple Lindy;’ an impossible dive that only a man devoted to the success of his son (and male libido) could accomplish.
This year at West Linn Skatepark, the second leg in the yearly Trifecta Bowl Series, skateboarding competitors bravely attempted the “Triple West Linndy;” an interpretation of Dangerfield’s legendary stunt, complete with female attention, intense competition and rigorous armpit farting.
Fans of all ages came out to take part. By far the youngest was Molly Quan’s baby who reportedly recently attempted her own Triple Linndy while in the birth canal.
Female fans weren’t only rallying support, many took part in the day’s athleticism. I missed attempts at the Triple FeLinndy, but by all accounts, they were quite impressive.
The place was packed; people were oiled up, and the atmosphere was anything but bashful. Everyone was waiting to see who would be the next to graduate with straight ‘D’s (and one ‘A’.)
Old School Triple Linndy master Jeff Taylor made some attempts. However, he was wearing excessive clothing which reduced his aerodynamic prowess. Next year shave your legs Jeff!
This guy got the intense facial expressionism right, but lost points on technicalities.
Crusty Mike, on the other hand, successfully pulled off his own interpretation of the Triple West Lindy, in the parking lot into a 24oz can of PBR.
Finally, young Greyson Fletcher stepped to the plate. Son of the great Christian Fletcher, today Greyson would attempt what his father accomplished at the legendary Linndystock of 1994.
The crowd went crazy. Young Greyson successfully performed the first Triple West Linndy in history. Congrats to Greyson, the student has officially become the master.
All these people were drunk.
