3 STRIKES: Olly Todd

Three attempts to do the longest flatground line you can. It might not always be pretty, but it’s usually a pretty fun watch. This time around Olly Todd takes us for a tour of the alleyways of London and demonstrates his skills at improv.



1. Strike one

2. Steeerike two….(or should I say, “Strike 1993″)
3. Striiiiiiiiiike…….three

  6. Dude, I’m sorry, I’m a huge Toddy fan, but fuck, that was horrible. It had me cringing every push of the way. It was depressing. Please don’t do this to us anymore. 3 Strikes is fucking horrible. Please, no more. Thank you.

  9. Sorry Moist Towelette…..maybe this more suits your taste?

  10. I’m not sure what is most depressing, your attempt at turning this into some kind of light hearted joke, or the actual “3 Strikes” feature on this website. Both this 3 Strikes(in fact all of the 3 Strikes thus far) and this attempt at shifting the attention to the fact that this was an incredible failure, an abomination of Toddy’s skating, and the worst “3 Strikes” yet by posting some Eric Clapton video suggesting that I’m a cry baby for not liking this garbage is pathetic. First grow a head, then try filling it with an idea.

  12. You should change your name from Theorizer to “Baby Head”.

    Comment by Towelette, Moist # October 5, 2009 at 8:49 am

  13. Your just one person who checks this site, the majority of us enjoy watching 3 strikes and we both know Theorizer isn’t going to stop posting 3 strikes if you keep opening your fat trap so why waste your time? Well, I guess you have nothing better to do. It’s make soy pattys and think of clever insults to make yourself feel good.

  14. Wow, “Gangsta shit”, that was clever.

    Comment by Towelette, Moist # October 5, 2009 at 11:11 am

  15. “It’s make soy pattys.”

    Comment by Towelette, Moist # October 5, 2009 at 11:13 am

  16. I think I’ll keep the “clever insults” up to you.

    Comment by Towelette, Moist # October 5, 2009 at 11:14 am

  17. Did you mean “Soy Panday’s”?

    Comment by Towelette, Moist # October 5, 2009 at 11:14 am

  18. Fear not Theorizer, I got this one. “Gangsta shit”, it’s “you’re”, as in “you are”. But no need to worry, I find myself making this mistake more times than none as well. So, is this clever enough for you?

    Comment by camelsislame # October 6, 2009 at 1:26 pm

  33. I have no idea what happened to the website last night.
    Woke up this morning and it was missing recent posts, and the posts that WERE still here were missing half of the comments that were on here yesterday.
    Cyber-poltergeist?

    Comment by Theorizer # October 9, 2009 at 7:48 am

  34. The Towel uploaded so many comments at once it made the site crash.

    Comment by Having no life isn't Gangsta shit # October 9, 2009 at 9:21 am

  35. Gangsta “shit” swallowed so much of the Towel’s nut it made his mouth, throat and lungs collapse. You’re right behind me buddy. No pun intended.

    Comment by Towel # October 9, 2009 at 6:47 pm

  36. “Cyber-poltegeist” or “delete button”.

    Comment by Towel and Towel # October 9, 2009 at 6:48 pm

  37. What a sham. Now even the best part of this website is susceptible to the Stewart Effect? What’s next, Stewart writing our comments for us?

    Pretty much one of the weakest things you can do online is leave a comment and sign it with somebody else’s name.
