Fortune by Patrick Switzer

Decision time - to procure or not to procure?

A virtual toss of the coin meant that the Rayne Fortune was destined to become a part of the quiver.

Clear grip job to enable the character of the graphic to remain in the public view, Paris 180's and the Orangatang In Heats for a smooth ride....pretty stoked.

Thanks Basement Skate in bloody Redfern.

Time for something new - RAYNE Time.

For years I have been debating whether or not to get the Patrick Switzer signature board, the Rayne Fortune.

It's done.

Now what will Robbo do as a Grip Job?

Looking forward to picking up this bad boy.

About the Number '42'

42 is:

The number achieved by multiplying the Devil's number (6) and God's number (7).

The angle in degrees for which a rainbow appears;

42 is the product of the first three terms of Sylvester's sequence; like the first five such numbers it is also a primary pseudoperfect number.;

In 1966, mathematician Paul Cooper theorized that the fastest, most efficient way to travel across continents would be to bore a straight hollow tube directly through the Earth, connecting a set of antipodes, evacuate it (remove the air), and then just fall through. The first half of the journey consists of free-fall acceleration, while the second half consists of an exactly equal deceleration. The time for such a journey works out to be 42 minutes. Remarkably, even if the tube does not pass through the exact center of the Earth, the time for a journey powered entirely by gravity always works out to be 42 minutes, as long as the tube remains friction-free, as while gravity's force would be lessened, so would the distance traveled at an equal rate;

42 is the number with which God creates the Universe in Kabalistic tradition;

From the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is calculated by an enormous supercomputer over a period of 7.5 million years to be 42. Unfortunately no one remembers what the question is.
