Will the real Tony Hawk please step forward

Will the real Tony Hawk step forward*

This is one of those, "you are shitting me" moments to which I say NO!. A vehement NO. Our mate Kanufi is in the Fat Pigeon Hoodie behind a Tony Hawk cutout. This picture has not been cut, clipped, enhanced in any way. This is the real Kanufi.

Dutch Ancestry - is this our tartan?

When it is time to shine, don a kilt and bomb a hill.

Brittany procured a kilt for me for Critmas and the right thing to do was to get amongst it and rock the kilt on a skateboard. The kilt is worn in the traditional dutch way with no undergarments allowing a wonderful air flow that women know all about.

Disco Balls

The faster you go, the brighter these bad boys get. Here is a little clip on Dalleys Road at around 60 kph....

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.

It's almost over

St Leonards is no longer a vibrant, healthy place.

It is remarkably downbeat and droll.

The area is now lacking a heartbeat that was associated with lots of activity and lots of young people.

I'm trying to work out what the problem is and I shed a tear as I am forced to concede that my local skateboard shop is now gone.

Chagrin.

Basement stripped of it's awesomeness

Make good underway

The mini ramp is closed...forever

Removing the dynabolts that held the place together

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.
