Kyper: When I was younger I used to be absolutely obsessed with guns. This happened during the Beltway Sniper Attacks in Washington. My friends made a name for me that rhymed with Sniper. So I became Kyper the Sniper and it has stuck till this day.
Strudel: Kyle Rudolph is my full real name and when I played football in high school my coach called me Rudy. A kid from my grade who got expelled had a lisp and used to call me Strudy. So that caught on. Then one day we were talking about Toaster Strudels at lunch and that's how it morphed again. Haven't been called it since I graduated.
Manson: I picked this one up about a week into college. When I got there on the first day. A bunch of us were just chilling on the first floor in the lounge when an RA came in and started giving me shit. People who ride with me and know me know I have an extremely short temper and get angry pretty easily. Well this guy pissed me off really quick so I got up and grabbed the Iced Tea he was holding and threw it all over him and told him to shut up and stop bothering me. Then he went on to bitch at me and tell me if I ever did something like that again he would call campus police on me and he then left. After finding out about this story and due to my anger problems my friends have given me this nickname and honestly more people know me by this on Campus then my real name.
Mike Vallely: Cause I keep the skaters in check here in Arkansas. Lol. I think this one came up the first time I ever rode with Julian, Seth, and Andrew.
