Bendigo spawns some serious kooks.

Wozzy on a vert ramp found slap bang on the side of a street.

Marv 'hop over' grind, spooking the local scavengers.

We got pulled over by the cops not long after this for looking like anarchists/terrorists (most of the crew were dressed in black) during a heavily publicized NATO meeting in Lisbon that weekend. The cops had a look at everyone's camera, and they really weren't psyched on seeing this snap. Never the less, we went about our business and continued the spot search. The streets were filled with protesters and live music. So much so, that upon entering the country i had my backpack searched twice for traces of any anti-establishmentarianism.

Bombing. Terror free.

Examples of protest graffiti found throughout Lisbon that week.

 THE GOON! (photo by Skater Mitch) Cal as ever, bombing high speed lines... bench ride, gap, manual.

Focus! Dench and all that. Flagz and I went out for a mish with Cooper and the FP royz a couple of days ago. After a year long rail hiatus, Flagz did 5 in one day. Boo-utey!

In other BMX related snooze, Joe Fox and his lovely girlfriend Emma started their journey back to the UK via some tropical locations. Here we have Beer, just a mere hour before departure at Bra open.

Bar Open Fame

Found this pic within the Steady Bumpen trip article on skateboard.com.au amongst skate photos of Tane, Snapper and Benny (who helped out with the content and production of Nothing's Wrong zines 1 and 2) . 

Snapper also gave 'Bar Open' a shout out in his interview in Bolts mag issue 2.. That place gets heavily sessioned amongst the street lurkers.

If you travelled through a black hole, would straight become crooked??

In an alternate dimention, a place where the common conception of now is flipped and reality is reversed, Scooters would be steezy, cypress Hill would be straight edge, and Cooper Brownlee would be producing publications like this!

Activities.

Gravy season
