Tyson the bulldog enjoys riding skateboards, not so much wearing flower hats.

(the videos are really the gems here, apologies to those who can't view WMV. Oh, and I guess, sorry for not mentioning Iraq, I'm sure someone will find a connection!)

Man, that is just fucking awesome. It has inspired me to sign Betty up for lessons next week.

Is this the same bulldog that steals Lance Mountain's board in 1988's Public Domain (screenshot of dog in question)?

[Coolest thing I've seen all day] That dog can skateboard a lot better than I. Of course, I'd imagine the low center of gravity helps. Sure, that's the ticket.

My bulldog runs into walls. And by run I mean, of course, walk. This is absolutely hysterical, and unlike anything I have ever seen from the breed.

I love it how he manages to actually turn away from the oncoming curb. But I have to wonder what happens to Tyson at the very end of the second video {puff of dust}.

Greatest. Thing. Ever. Time to strap the puggies to the board!!

He steers! And flips the board back over when he needs to! Man. I really thought this would be a dumb link, but was I ever wrong. Excellent find, malphigian.

That fascist-imperialist bulldog is exploiting an innocent sovereign skateboard under the guise of "liberating" it from its owner. Incidentally, skateboard wheels function with ball bearings covered in oil. What's his next hostile takeover, a unicycle? Oh, right, unicycles don't have oil. Reap the fucking whirlwhind.

That dog is the coolest! I was never a fan of bulldogs, but now I'm a fan of Tyson.

Wow. That dog rides that skateboard with a finesse that borders on intelligence. It's like Tyson was born to skate.

I saw this dog in person in February, it is truly amazing. It's hypnotic to watch him cruise back and forth. My girlfriend shot a picture of him and got some video too.

Way too late. We had a skateboarding duck in the UK years ago. Ended up being a running joke on the news with the last item being of the SBD variety (And finally...)

My boxer dog used to skateboard. Same as this bulldog, I think it's all about trying to bite the front wheel while it's moving. Just like some dogs like to have a go at bike wheels. My boxer was cuter than the bulldog too, wish I'd realised what a money winner I had had on my hands. ;)
