Inspired by Tony Hawk, no doubt.
Looks like the viral marketing for SkateBIRD is really shaping up!
Keep your eye on the sparrow!
Why fly when you can gleam the cube?
Is Burb.

Thanks, given today has been a stream of crummy news this made me laugh just a little.
this is the wholesome distraction i need.
Can fly, but would rather ride. That’s fucking hardcore!
No helmet? No knee pads? Forget Honey-badger, Sparrow don’t care!
That was my thought too.
Bird: I am a master of aerobatic flight. I can pull out of 12G dive. I can perform a flat spin, then a 1ms 180º inverted turn around, and land gracefully on the tip of a tree branch.
Human: DURRRRRR burd lern tinee sketbørd!!!
That clip made me kinda’ crazy.
I kept confusing the camera with the driver
and thinking that he should check the road more often
If a small likely-prey bird is willing to step into Tony Hawk territory it is probably risk insensitive enough to skip protective equipment.
excuse me, that’s a Finch.
The Bird is the Word! Bappa-oo-maow-maow, bappa-oo-maow-maow…
Bird’s not stupid!
