Immergrün

February 27, 2010

I dusted off the D700 last night to take some shots of Rox’s friend’s band, Immergrün, at the Schlosskeller here in Darmstadt. It’s a pretty cool little venue but awkward to take photos, as while it’s fairly intimate there’s huge columns in the way (well, it is a cellar…) that kind of limit your options. [...]

It’s about time – The Birth of Big Air

February 18, 2010

Finally – Mat Hoffman is being honoured by a documentary that covers his legendary status and contributions not just in BMX Freestyle but for extreme sports in general. I kind of feel like although he’s revered by most people who know about bike riding, he doesn’t always receive the wider recognition that he so badly [...]

FUCK SKATEBOARDERS

February 11, 2010

Naa, not really. But most people are only too aware of this whole “skateboarding vs. BMX” bullshit that’s been going on for some time now, brought to a head more recently by both sport’s popularity in the wake of the X-Games as well as irresponsible articles by the likes of Thrasher Magazine. As a direct [...]

My Hackintosh, one week on.

February 10, 2010

Hackintoshes have always seemed like way more effort than they’re worth to me. Custom kernels, problematic updates, random crashes, it all flies in the face of why you use an Apple operating system (and computer) in the first place. While I can appreciate the hacker aesthetic, I’ve never really had the inclination or patience to [...]

Excellent Italian Greyhound

February 9, 2010

Unless you’re a real dog lover (or you’re ultra bored), you’ll probably want to skip to about 2:50 for the appearance of the one and only Todd Trainer, Uffizi, and the rest of Shellac. :

Stories of the poor and unfortunate

January 27, 2010

Here’s a quick entry to pimp my friend’s new site: Now, get off my stage. Ry’s writing under his pseudonym has appeared in many places (including Revolt Magazine), and it’s awesome to see him consolidate this into one place which is going to be regularly updated.
“If you are interested in what I [...]

Eyup now then lad

January 14, 2010

The Budweiser ‘wassup‘ advert sparked quite a few parodies back in its day – including some from the company itself, but there was one in particular I was especially fond of in which the ‘wasssuuuup’s were replaced by Yorkshiremen saying ‘ey up’ instead. Fast forward a few years and a conversation with my girlfriend resulted [...]

Lausanne 07

November 6, 2007

Update: See Fletch’s write up over here!
On the face of it, 1600 miles of driving in three days across various parts of Europe (France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Italy) might seem a bit crazy. But when you do it in some of Bayeriche’s finest (an E39 M5, a Z3 M Coupe, a Z4 and [...]

Southsea Skatepark… Not dead yet.

October 26, 2007

“You signed a petition asking the Prime Minister to ‘Prevent Portsmouth City Council closing Southsea Skatepark in September 2007.’
The Prime Minister’s Office has responded to that petition and you can view it here: http://www.pm.gov.uk/output/Page13600.asp“
The bit that we care about:
However, the Government understands that the council has had a change of heart and that Southsea [...]

Gary Nesbitt, RIP

October 3, 2007

Some really bad news. I got an email from Taylor and there’s a bulletin on Myspace about this, so I’ll leave it in his words.
Recently our world lost one of its finest members. Gary A. Nesbitt’s body was found in the San Diego Harbor on Sept 29th. Gary has had a tremendous impact [...]
