How sporthocker began
The youtube videos on sporthocker are not really all that thrilling: just a guy playing with some trendy plastic stool and then sitting on his bum after thirty seconds of juggling and messing about. Well, each to their own. But this doesn't prevent certain people from posting unkind comments like: ‘I had no idea people could be such idiots’, ‘Haha, what a load of rubbish’, and ‘I've never seen anything this stupid. And I've seen some really stupid things in my time’. When asked about such criticism, Michael cracks open a can of Red Bull, takes a slow fortifying slip and responds: ‘Obviously we had a few negative reactions to start with. But they were from close-minded people who didn't understand what we were trying to do.’
