I didnt read the whole thread, but.. a TIC rat IMO is someone who rides TIC, and nothing but TIC, films everything there (with a fisheye that never comes off), releases ever mini video with only footage from TIC, does lots of bri flips and every other trick TIC kids do, can't fakie without hopping, is usually under 5'10", blows at street and i can keep going. I mean you can ride TIC and all, but expand your horizons past TIC, and i don't mean go ride Brick park, get the hell out of that dump called New Jersey and go film at some other parks.
