your name.
Danger: Kia Ora! My name is Danger. Danger Romans. Notice
how Danger is my first name and not my middle. I don't F around
with middle names.
ORG: What are you doing in Japan while not pulling sweet moves?
D: Well, id like to think of my life as a constant spectacle of
freestyle walkery, ceaseless as the rants of a politician or boxing
promoter, an interminable bloom within my complex garden of
sweet moves, but to answer the question I am here as an
ambassador to the Japanese culture to give them an
americanized international experience while also attempting to
teach them Engrish... excuse me, English.
ORG: Do you believe sushi makes a person jump higher?
D: Definitely. Its a super food. Its almost as super as
Carolina-style barbeque and sweet tea, but not quite as healthy
for you. The sushi does provide an excellent combination of raw
protein and pure carbs that make for a great walking experience.
It made the list of top three walking foods. Just behind the
barbeque and right above Buttered Chicken. Unlike the barbeque
and buttered chicken, it doesn't weigh me down, but also unlike
the barbeque and buttered chicken after about
thirty minutes of dangerous walking I have to give the
danger-tank a re-fill. Its kind of a pain, but sushi is cheap here so
its no big deal.
ORG: How much taller are you than the average Japanese male?
D: With shoes... probably a foot. Well, its difficult. They seem to
get bigger with each generation so if we want to do it that way I'm
probably a foot and a half taller than anyone from the WWII era,
and around a foot taller than their children, but only slightly less
than a foot taller than their children. This is just the average,
there are some big ones over here.
ORG: Is the freestyle walking movement as big in the far east as it
is in the United States?
D: Nah. They aren't so big on it here. I'm changing that though. I'm
pullin' all kinds of sweet moves and the crowds are lovin' it. Lots of
flash photography so its a good thing I'm not epileptic.
ORG: What type of sushi roll would you be and why?
D: Id be my own roll. The "danger" roll. It would consist of rice,
Fugu, and a dangerous level of wasabi. Fugu, if you don't know
how dangerous it is, well, google it-- better yet BLACKLE it.
Blackle is the same as google, but it saves kilowatts while you
search the web, hey, even danger lives green. But back to the
danger roll-- it will kill you if you let it. You feelin' lucky?
ORG: Why do people call you "Danger?"
D: Well, ill be honest, its because thats how i live. Dangerously,
that is. Never a dull moment. And if you are around me I make no
promises that you'll come out in one piece, if we're hiking, singing
karaoke, naked night skiing etc., but especially if we're doing
serious walking. And I'm being serious when I say serious here,
not just serious for the sake of saying serious. What can I say?
It's dangerous being danger, but its not hard to live up to the
hype--- you just gotta live dangerously.
ORG: Finally, how big of a mark do you think you will leave on the
Freestyle Walking community in Japan?
D: You'll be happy to know Ive started the Danger Freestyle
Academy here and they are coming along fine. They are starting
to pull some ILL moves and they can do it in tighter places too,
cause of their size. They've got the genetics to be great walkers
here, I can definitely tell some of their ancestors were ninjas,
maybe even power rangers.
