It doesn’t have the old skool style of a Powell Peralta board, but if I could still ride one of these without killing myself, I might be a little tempted to get this one. However, after a…

Have you ever been anywhere and you really wished you could just blow up your hoodie hood and use it as a pillow? Nope? Me either, but this obviously occured to someone, otherwise they’d…

When I was 11, I happily played footy in the street, and had just began my journey into BMX’ing. I watched lots of car racing on TV, but was never allowed to drive one. That’s why I’m soooo jealous…

Car Talk
Mr Wallace keeping me entertained on a Monday morning after the battery in his Porsche gave up the ghost over the weekend (with it's electrically operated hood....)
Dod says:
dont know if your car is the same
Dod says:
but my battery on the porsche went flat
Dod says:
and of course the battery is in the front
Dod says:
which is electrically opened
Aaron says:
oops
Aaron says:
u going to get a new battery?
Dod says:
ah dont know
Dod says:
it was probably sitting there draining itself
Aaron says:
people on some of the M3 posts talk about putting in a mini battery, coz it's lighter and works just as well apparently
Dod says:
oh
Dod says:
i'll check into it
Dod says:
i need some weight over the front though
Dod says:
maybe i'll get a bigger one
Aaron says:
sounds like a good plan - or just stuff your gimp in there
Dod says:
ha
Dod says:

Dod says:
he lives in the basement

I managed to sneak off for a day of crowd free boarding on Wednesday. Tried out Beaver Creek for the first time ever - it was pretty cool (and pretty cold by late afternoon), and the post boarding…
First run of the season complete. Couple of blues, couple of blacks and I’m still alive. Wonders will never cease
Drinking in the mountains. Boarding tomorrow might start slightly later than planned.
