WatchSome local teenager started filming me with his phone whil I was skating so I asked for the footage. That, folks, is how you stop a longboard from around 40-50 km/h (or faster if you’ve got the cojones).

Female colleague 1: Your tie looks nice today.
Me: That wasn't the intention.
FC2: It looks like a candy store!
Me: Is that a good thing?
FC2: It depends on whether you're trying to lure the children
Me: That's....not a good thing....
WatchThursday Gnar - Collingrove Cup by Gabe.
Such a rad mix backed with awesome jazz soundtrack. via skatehousemedia.
WatchThursday Gnar - Gabe’s Slide Jam.
Three hills and a lot of tortured urethane. The video does not do justice to how OFF THE HOOK the last hill was.
I seem to have managed to completely avoid getting on film…

WatchThursday Gnar - The Dave.
Steve is starting to work on his video techniques and at the moment I’m his trained monkey. This is a “5-by-5” short film of five 5 second clips. I’d like to be able to slide properly again but I still pretty much don’t have a fibula so this is about as gnar or steezing as it gets for me right now….
Catching a flight on 11/9/2011
1) Security are going to be ultra ultra ultra ultra paranoid. I just hope the man with the rubber glove is gentle
2) I get to find out if my new cyborg leg parts set off the scanners
3) There is no third thing

It’s harsh, but an entirely predictable outcome. You just don’t say anything about your in-laws…..ESPECIALLY when she’s pregnant and hormonal. Or if you do, you make sure you lock away all the sharp implements first.

Helicopter crash in Turramurra bushland →
Things are always more affecting when they’re close to home. I spent my childhood clambering around on these cliffs and still go there regularly to have time out and pray.
Very sad. They don’t mention anything about the pilot. I’m left wondering whether he leaves behind a young family.

I have always considered the FSM/Pastafarian story to be an incredibly juvenile response to Intelligent Design Theory, made up by someone who wasn’t very clever or funny. It has nothing on the Church of the Subgenius and other similar (clever) atheistic snook-cocking parodies.
HOWEVER, this dude has made his point and made it well. I have to say I like his style.

Still undecided as to whether to put myself through this. I like watching giant robots explode on the big screen and apparently this latest installment will fill you with slightly less self-loathing for allowing...
WatchBenbro
I’s not Thursday, but what the hell. Benbro (Ben Hay) is so dialled and steezing he trascends Thursday Gnar. His pre-drifts are insanely tight and calculated. Tuck-slide-tuck-corner boom! no waste, no fuss.
Marks for creativity

Be warned: most Homeopaths won’t tell you that their preparations are usually laden full of one of the most prevalent and dangerous chemicals known to humanity: DiHydrogen Monoxide.
What upsets me most is that there’s basically a concerted effort by the authorities to make DMHO appear harmless. People need to WAKE UP and be aware of the terrible effects of this chemical around...

This is pretty huge news for speedboarding. Reimer has dominated 2010 and so far 2011. It will be interesting to see the impact of this on the circuit and who steps into the gap over the next 2-3 months while he recovers.

I know how ya feel, Kev. At least it’s 3 months, not 9….
