I'm so impressed that this girl can skate while holding the phone over her head and behind her while leaning back. I skated a lot as a kid (not tons of tricks, just skating), and have good balance, but I'm pretty sure if I tried that I'd end up in the hospital with a concussion.

It's nice when you bring a weapon for the other guy to kick your aß with... THe guy is lucky that the guy didn't mop the road with him. I suspect he could have done it without the bat.

The bassist reminds me a little bit of Susanna Hoffs

I just don't know what is wrong with people these days.

I have done rolled up paper (not a paper towel tube, a sheet of rolled up printer paper)
and I have managed to do the hair thing. It's not easy to get a knife that sharp, and I am not as consistent as this guy.

Carne de Passage....I learned that from Itchyboots. Cop was mad for no reason.

I learned at a early age how to roller skate...was never good at it. Learned ice skating on the frozen lakes around here and started playing hockey all the time. I got good at ice skating but playing hockey in college was out of the question. Not very many 145 lb. hockey players.

He doesn't in the short, reveal what he tested and who the winner was. You've got to watch the longer (14min) video for that (unless you have someone that's willing to watch and give you the answer).
It looks like he tested a few of the common/big box cutters like General, Klein, and a $10 pair from Harbor Freight. They all were sub-par. He then did 2 things. 1) he modified a pair by heat treating them and changing the angle of the cutters and 2) he bought some Knipex cutters.

The Knipex cutters were far superior to everything else. The main, visible difference was that the cutters were sharpened to ~50º instead of 45º like all of the rest. The pair that he heat treated (a disassembled set of Kleins) and changed the angle on performed as well as the Knipex after the mods.

WHen I said "skating" I meant on a skateboard. I learned to rollerskate when I was ~12. I was never very good at it. I then got the opportunity to ice skate on school field trips when I was 13 and 14. I was better at ice skating than roller skating, but not great. But hey, one day of a few hours skating doesn't make an expert. I then got into roller blading when I was about 20. I love roller blading. I got more roller blades when I was 35 or 40 and used them for a bit. I enjoy rollerblading. I haven't had any in probably 12-15 years now.

this girl roller skates. She's super impressive in my book.

Sounds like this was not the first time the driver was pulled over. If he was more organized with his documents… license, registration, etc., and shut up, it probably would’ve gone easier.

The guy was very affable and laid back. I think a lot of his problem is lack of tact. Telling a cop that he's confused is probably not the best way to go about educating him.
