“Inspired” Action Figures

December 29th, 2007
 

Forget Buddy Jesus…meet Extreme Jesus.

Complete with jeans, leather boots and a “blingin” crown of thorns, he doesn’t just ride motorcycles, he surfs, skateboards and even bullrides. Created by Eric Dyson, he is available through most Christian retailers. And, apparently, inspired by God himself.
Dyson says God led him to a vision: “Jesus the Christ on a motorcycle riding across the open roads of America.”
In other bizzare news, one former BMXer is pushing to revive a trend that first emerged in the 70s: swing biking.

You’re probably wondering what the hell that is. Well so did I, so I searched for it on the go-to site for useless shit (youtube) and got some interesting results. (with probably the worst soundtrack ever)
I’m not really sure what the point of it is, besides pissing off everyone else on the road, but former BMXer Ryan Beers seems to think it’s pretty sick.
I hate to rain on his parade, but somehow I don’t see the whole swing bike thing making a comeback anytime soon. Riding in a circle on a freaky hinged bike just doesn’t have the same appeal as killing it on a BMX.
Hope you all found something better than a Bullriding Jesus under your tree this year…
