Boofer skate gang: started by nicolai and his older brother the notorious didonato brothers. They are satanist and like what they say on the streets, scary mofos. The brothers got kicked outta multiple schools due to smoking grass and eating ass; They have been sent to multiple rehabilitation centers, but nothing seems to work. They are mentally ill and crazy italian mafia drug attics with their dead papi joe and hammy on their side RIP. They are the Gs tho.
