King of the Road

This show was so good that I watched repeats of every episode every day for twelve weeks.I think the combination of it being about skateboarding and it being on Vice caused a lot of people to not even know it existed.You don't have to like skate boarding or even know anything about it to like this show, you do need a sense of humor though.This show is about an insane scavenger hunt and it doesn't matter if you know the people involved.Although they do lots of skating challenges, they also have to do ridiculous things like rip their shirt off in a public place and remain shirtless for several days.How about hitting an opponent with cake...from your van?A down hill toilet race?Sounds fun right?It is.This is a must see show.

If you want to see a group of men-children this is the show for you. Sure the skate board action scenes are okay but the people - all male - are soooo boring and spend all their time spouting ridiculous gobbledegook laughing at inane comments, especially when an injury occurs. What 's particularly annoying is the self-referential focus of these 20-something year old jocks. These guys seem to find it amusing to trash public spaces by running their skateboards along public handrails, seats, etc thinking nothing about who has paid to build and maintain them. Of course, these guys also don't give a toss about the incredible noise and inconvenience they cause because, hey, they're so freakin' cool only squares wouldn't get it. Of course, these intrepid individualualist free spirits don't think twice about going to a public hospital when they get banged up and, naturally dude, it would way uncool to wear a helmut. Give me strength.

Why do they now start by showing what happened last time? It has no effect on what will happen this time and it makes no sense. Now that the show is scripted it's painfully hard to watch.

The editing, soundtrack, style, stunts, tricks, skate legends, drama, friends...love this show. Seriously, I hope whoever edits this show checks the iMDB page and reads this review...the editing is awesome, thank you for your contribution to society. I will watch this show every year until I die. Please let it run that long. Seen every season 5 times over at least. The Best.

I grew up not a fan of skateboarding, never had any interest but this show has changed my opinion. Love this show so much.
