Best season in a long time they reckon. Normally it takes toward the end of the season for the Snowy Mountains to get a 2m base, but this year Perisher has had that before August. I spent three days up there and in my limited experience it's the best snow I've ever had. It snowed pretty much all day Friday, which was good, but visibility was mostly low.

Saturday was epic, and everyone knew about it. It was packed!! Sunday was good in the morning until the snow was packed down, but still the best fun.

Slightly snowy here as you can see,
on the first day

But it means this... nice! Isaac carving down

me an bro, look at that gnarly cornice brah!

Half Arsed Issue 1

2009-08-05T01:52:00.000-07:00

Here it is. Issue 1.
Reece Warren on the cover.
I've put a bit in to get it started and hope that
it will float itself in times to come.
This is definately not a moneymaking venture,
just some fun on the side.
I hope that it will incorporate contributions from
all over Australia, or at least the East coast.
Right now it's predominantly Canberra based
although there is stuff from
Brisbane, Sydney, Melbs and USA as well.

Copies available in Shifty's and Trilogy skateshops
in Canberra, Finnos skateshop in Pambula NSW,
and skateboard.com.au

Enjoy.

If you desperately want a copy,
hit me at: luke@skateboard.com.au

and these are two pics courtesy of
Dave Pang of the launch night...
one with the final product and the other
is little Will winning something from the raffle
Cheers Dave

Half Arsed zine launch

Given I post most of my stuff on skateboard.com.au I figured why not invest a little more time to create something with a little more longevity.

Enhance your shots to look like art. Genius.

Reesy is a Hellman.
While riding a rather huge vert ramp,
Reesy stacked a frontside nosegrind grabbing it in,
he went over the front, grabbed when his knee pads hit
and smashed his front teeth so hard they shattered

This is where his teeth hit, Flaz told me
ther were bits of them all over the place
Reesy is now Reethy
Damn!

This photo was included in the "Big Family"

Eddison Park proposed site in Woden, Canberra

It's all starting to happen, and rapidly. This will be one of the fastest consultation, design and construction process ever. Normally it takes years for these projects to come to fruition, but the deadline for completion of this project is September 2009!

Here's Convic's concept plans...woah! So exciting. See more at:

The art of beer cooling

2009-01-24T16:40:00.001-08:00

It's a burning hot day, and your beers have all gone warm

so... simply dig a hole in the sand

bury the beer a good 20cms down or so

cover it over nice and firmly

gather some fuel

and burn, closely monitoring

for a while

yep yep

then spread out the ash

and bring out the beer, cover over the ashes

and voila! The heat above draws it all out and the beer cools!!

2009-01-12T18:03:00.001-08:00

Mully started off the day handing out the XXXX golds - crikey mate we're not in bloody Queensland! But each to their own I guess

The Belco XI were out to bat first and little Will did a great job as "water" boy

Big Dan tonked a few sixes when it was his turn

Cricket Moles

Judges

A bit of intimidation never hurt, but I dunno about that waistline!

Owzat!!

Monkz
Steve-O and Mike D in the house!

Last year John had a great game and possibly as a consequence wasn't on the team this year heh heh
Time flies when you're having rum Cons

Scott and Mike D - Yeah boi! Look at that boom box

Brendo on the sausage sizzle

Alas it wasn't to be, it came down to the wire and with a few balls to go, the lighty did it. About time!

Victorious, good times

Man of the Match

The scoreboard says it all. At least there was a keg to share after
