8. Bonus: Gone shopping
El Toro’s draw isn’t limited to just boards and bikes and as its legend grew, more and more have-a-go heroes, (or to use their more common name ‘idiots’) wanted to test themselves against the punishing 20 steps in increasingly novel ways in search of Internet glory. One day Wes Verdugo dreamt up the idea of hitting El Toro in a shopping trolley. Why, Wes? Why?

Idiot.
