Reasons I quit KJROLLERS

Posted on October 17, 2008 by Mr. Buyot

Many asked me why I quit the KJROLLERS group. Some came up to me with a direct approach, some just, well, let say loves to assume the reasons why I quit. If you’d like to talk to me about it, please come and talk to me. Don’t just hide behind the tree like a Hindustani actor/actress.

Here’s a reason why I quit: it’s time to move on to my next adventure. I can’t be stuck and be happy & miserable doing the same things & go thru the same shit all over again. When there’s no compromisation, you can either keep on fighting or leave. And I choose to leave.

I’ve been skating for 14 years(if you want to find out how long I’ve been rollerblading, take my age & divide it into 2) & co-founded the KJROLLERS with my 2 other friends for more than 12 years ago. It is without doubt there are clashes of thoughts & arguments with each other, but it was for the sake of Malaysian rollerblading, which I hope would also be the reasons for the other 2 co-founders.

I’m like Jawed Karim, the 3rd silent co-founder of YouTube, where he takes the back seat. He was the one who conceptualized and inspire the development of YouTube (the general public don’t really know this fact, so sad) & let the other 2 co-founders take all the fame & glory. It was full of happy times & happy thoughts. And I choose to go first.

Gua jalan dulu beb.

Find my next adventure or it will find me. I prefer to be an independent & a nobody. But that doesn’t mean I quit skating. That is one thing I can’t quit. Full stop.

His disaster farside makio over the kink made my balls shrink & run for cover! It was a nail biting moment waiting for him to lace the trick.

Google’s Sergey Brin & Larry Page on rollerblades!

Posted on September 24, 2008 by Mr. Buyot

This definitely did not go unnoticed by me. The founders of Google, during their anticipated T-Mobile G1 phone launch, had to skate (“skate” is the correct word to use in a sentence when describing this action. Not “rollerblade“) to the venue because they were hold up in traffic or whatever they were working on.

Watch the video that shows a lil bit of rolling here & there by the Google founders.

Awesome. This will bring rollerblading to a different geek level. Hell, most of the best rollerbladers in the world are geeks like Jon Julio (super geek), Randy “Roadhouse” Spizer (super geek) and also Shane “The Mind” Coburn (his rollerblading revelations are by far, geeky). Other than our everyday job, working on geeky stuff, we do this on our rollerblades:
