White People are F*cking Crazy: Take 2

This is going back in time a little bit, but I still think it is pertinent.  White people do a lot of crazy shit.  Seriously, we are so bored with our normal lives that we literally think of stupidest shit we can and convince ourselves that it is a the greatest thing since sliced bread.  Typically these hysterics revolve around alcohol.  Case in point: BYOBW 2011.  BYOBW stands for Bring Your Own Big Wheel.  That's right.  Mostly grown people race big wheels down a giant windy road and hope to make it down on their makeshift rides made for 6-10 year olds half of their size.

BYOBW took place on Easter Sunday because you know what better way to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ?  Oh I know.  A bunch of f*cking crazy white people get plastered and race plastic vehicles down a hill over and over again.  I will admit watching this event was probably one of the funniest things I have witnessed on the West Coast.  People really got into it with coordinating outfits and costumes.  The Easter Bunny made a guest appearance with his bunny body guards.  Lots of the people were dressed in fun and kid friendly costumes.  There was nothing overly revealing on the women or the men.  Compared to Bay to Breakers, BYOBW was calm.

BYOBW was much more kid friendly than naked people running the streets of San Francisco as what happened with B2B.  Even the overall alcohol consumption was much, much less, as well as the overall participation.  I would say little over 1000 people were probably in the area racing and spectating.  There were some spectacular crashes and good sportsmanship.  It was just one of those events that you had to shake your head and say, "What crazy ass white person came up with this?!"

Until next time...
