Skater takes on four guys

Four guys call professional skater Mike Vallely a "skater fag". I think he shows them who's boss.

Uh... so how exactly are a bunch of skinny preppy boys a match for a muscular badass with obvious anger issues? It's not as though Vallely took on a bunch of ninjas or something.

They're labeled "jocks" but unless they're on the tennis team, I don't see what's necessarily "jock" about them. Vallely looks like he has at least 5 to 10 pounds on each of them.

Nevertheless, I like his "berserker" approach to confronting a situation where he's at a numerical disadvantage. I don't know how many of you have been in similar situations but, unless you have some sort of martial arts training, Vallely's tactic is a decent way of preventing a possible beatdown.


Of course, ignoring idiots who call you names works a lot better.

I'll agree with you on most points Prospero, except your first. imho, when you are surrounded by 4 guys, who are (by the looks of it) talking shit; it's open season. The muscle dude is a hothead, but I think what he did was well within limits (notice he stepped away and cooled off the minute another guys stepped in to stop one of the original antagonists from continuing). As far as I'm concerned he was defending himself. Could those guys have done him any harm? Well, maybe not given what we saw here, but maybe they could have. How was he to know before the action started? Just an idle threat from 4 unknowns.

Spin your first sentence around: *why* were 4 skinny preppy boys who were no match for a muscular badass hassling a muscular badass? My answer: they thought they had him because of sheer numbers. Any one of them could have walked away and stopped being an asshole, but they presisted. Why? Ego? What does that mean about their state of mind? Borderline mob mentality? How far are they willing to go to ride it out?

Having been there myself: when you have 4 guys hassling you (I don't care who you are), your options shrink pretty damn fast and yes, simple demonstrating your *will* to use quick and brutal violence, can break the spell and get you out of trouble.

Hate to say, it, but I side with the meathead on this one.
