When a girl tells you to "Get a fucking job" she probably doesn't know how much riding that BMX bike means to you. It connects you with friends, it keeps you happy, it opens doors, it brings you to different places, more than a regular 9 to 5 job can teach you. That's right, not all girls get it. Here's your bill board of today. She's going for gold. 18+
