It’s been subtly suggested over the years that I should go buy myself some “nice” shoes so I caved in and finally bought myself some of these. They’re as close to a “dress shoe” I’m going to get lol.

I also couldn’t resist adding a new deck to the wall. Old Skool Santa Cruz Salba re-issue in greyscale. Niiiice.

In other news, my SexinArt.net site has been hacke and Google has taken it off their listings (wow the power). It’s a combination of WordPress and Servage (hosting provider) it seems as a billion other people hosting WordPress sites on Servage have also been hacked. There’s nothing I can do about it but move to a more secure server which is going to be a hassle and cost me more $$$.

The weekend felt long (maybe because I watched the tour de france and got all emotional about it?). For the first time in many weekeds Suga and I didn’t go for a ride, the ride was instead substituted with alcohol abuse and junk food (nice).

Son Saturday we went to Sexpo for a laugh (we were careful not to laugh too loud when we weren’t meant to lol).

The girls getting some shopping in.

This guy paints with his penis (great).

Swedish designer toys.

Elephant? Suga wanted to buy me this.

And today we had our JDMST end of month meet (EOMM) at JDMyard. Great turnout with a stand out Celica.

Funny how into bikes I am right now. I’ve hardly got any heart left for cars. When asked about how my GTR is going, all I could say was I am taking a break from it all, from cars and that I’m into mountain biking + health + saving cash… it’s cool, people are cool. I’m happy. Life’s great :)

World Cup 2008 – The world’s best downhill mountain bikers will be fighting it out next month in Canberra, this is going to be greater than the olympics! I’ll be there. You will be too I hope.

GIANT: World Domination in 2009!

More pics here.

Nyaw my baby bought me some Uggies. I promise not to wear them out!

OK I hope my clients aren’t reading this… but I snuck out today to do a lap of the Dam with Charlie and Lockie. Had a crash on the last jump before the bottom of the downhill, the elbow pads work! Swoit!

Me.

Charlie loves the jumps.

Charlie’s mate Lockie with new SPD’s on today.

All in all, super happy with the Reign now with light Hope wheelset (still true after today, that’s a good sign) + a fast rolling Larsen TT on the rear which is helping me lean into corners some more and not get any understeer.

Whilst the pilgrims were busy at mass. Jing. Felix, Timmy, Clifton and I did Loftus again today. Young Timmy and Clifton pushed us last time and I was determined to try a few things this time that I hadn’t tried before. It’s awesome how everything that looks hard, isn’t once you give it a good go. I had a bit of a stack (lol) going over some rocks, the camera’s broken (kinda cool as I’ve always wanted to upgrade to a Canon IXUS) and my pride’s a bit dented but Jing pushed me to give it another go, and I did, and got it, so all’s great :)

PS: The TLD jersey I was wearing (looks like a soccer Jersey to me) kept me warm in the cold, but cool when I got hot too, highly recommend them. The 661 knee and shin pads were awesome, very happy.

Me.

Timmy never dissapoints with his XC gear lol.

Jing on his bling thing.

Clifton.

Felix.

Timmy demonstrating to me what happened before I flew over the handlebars.

Had to try it again, got it the 2nd time!

I said I would NOT mod this car.

Right?

WRONG.

Eddie was throwing out a set of Tein Super Street coilovers for FREE. The catch was that one of the dampers up front was not adjustable anymore as the knob was broken, not to mention the whole top thread being threaded. I got Deddy from Top One Automotive to re-thread the shock as well as adjust the one broken shock to 5 clicks from full stiff (set and forget aye?).

Fronts are as low as they will go, car feels good and isn’t scraping on anything (hehe).
