Thank Sweet Baby Jesus For Roll-Ins

Take off on a burger, end up in a drainpipe.

I submit to you that we are all pretty good mindsurfers.

But the difference between mind-ripping and actually ripping is reality. Big gap. Imagination permits you to stick late-drops, speed around impossible sections, sting every crumbling section with venom in it, unfortunately though, your body does not.

The roll-in is the best chance us layfolk have at getting coned. A soft burgery takeoff that unfurls the red carpet for the hero moment. The most user-friendly means of getting vision and escaping out the other end. Kale’s wave at 2:30 is what we’re talking about.
