My life is going downhill fast: Shameless exploitation of the Media**

Shameless exploitation of the Media**

I did not write this but hey, it's good press....some of the detail is a bit sketchy. Like.....I got my first skateboard in 1960...very resourceful procuring a board before I was born.

We managed to cover some stuff off:

Safety aspect - helmets...check
Advertising sponsors....we did our best to sticker up
Publicity for Skateboarding and Downhill, particularly Girls on Longboards
Good press for Mt Panorama
Notification to the public at large that the aging porn star look is BACK!

In addition, I think we showed it is a family pursuit which we can all enjoy together. That's how we roll.

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.
