Words by Ethan Davis

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Ripping is cool but have you tried just standing there without flapping your arms?

Criminally underrated.

They just wait for the section to stand, and when it does, they give it a knuckle sandwich.

Simple, no?

Filmed by Stab’s new recruit, Hayden Garfield.

Tidy work.
