    That looks like such a good time.

    Does America have a single congressperson who is awesome? Even if they have dogshit politics, is there a single skater/punk/parkour type among them?

      The average age of congress is something like ~65. There are 535 congresspeople. It's possible one or two of them is cool.

        Let's convince them skateboarding will help them get votes - we could clear out a lot of decrepit incumbents by letting them kill themselves in skateparks that way

        Oh no! Beto counts. He was in the house before he tried for the Senate.

        Edit: though I guess he doesn't count because he's not currently an American congress person and the question was about current members
