Yes Tim, you have a problem

Well if you go to the right side of this screen you might see a link to my pal Tim. Don't bother following that link(and improve his analytics from single digit hits), he hasn't posted anything for 2 months and is rumoured to be:
a)dead
b)working on a mine in frozen northern canada.

personally that's a tough choice right there, innit?!

anyway, he's proud of his Salomon shoe collection, so proud he even wrote about them
here. {F@#k there i go and quadruple his ratings with that link}

naaaice

Anyway, i laugh at his k@k collection. My Salomon shoes are way cooler than yours Biltong boy. That's a pair of snowclogs on the left, best shoes for snow walking.I'm not just saying that, they frikken rock, and I'm standing whilst everyone else has slipped all over their nana's. In the middle you have my snowboard boots, and on the right, the inners (i did that to make it look like three pairs...sneaky)

as you can imagine, i think Tim's collection do more km's than mine

hi tech biking

next time you play poker look at the back of your card whilst small blind is weighing up his 7-2 unsuited. See how little the bicycle has really changed in 100 years (if you not playing with bicycle cards, then tell the host not to f@#k around next time).

of course there have been some huge advances over the years, and it looks like we might be facing the next one. It's been toyed with over the years, but just like flat screen tv's it seems to have been done right.

looks normal?

I'm talking about electronic shifting, i'm sure the suits at Shimano will call it "ride by wire" (because E-dura-ace is just too kak).
The big thing is that they are actually using it at the Tour.

and the back

will it work? well the one guy did get stuck in his 53-14 gear ratio the other day and they had to give him another bike!maybe the batteries were low. it'll be a fair while till we see these in your LBS

more muizies than the soopertube

so there's been some moaning about the recent lack of deep south content. It's winter for pete's sake (incidentally ideal surfing time).

So I'm gonna show you the latest surfboard to be born into the house. We've got some dutchies right now, and they are now into the whole surf vibe solid, i skeem. Three new custom boards, and this is the latest - what a beauty:



of course the irony it's a shortboard, which won't see much of muizies rollers but that's mere details.

currently doing its sea trials at J-Bay - naaaice!

Snow business like snow business

So we ran away from the sea, and strapped on a board of a different type.

ski bums

unfortunately the camera and me, did not spend the whole day together, but it's hard to take photos of powder anyway. yes pow pow pow.

Gav on the bunny slope

unfortunately there's a snowboarders/skiiers stand off and we couldn't use the lift. You EARN your turns when you hiking, lets just not tell physio why i am so sore today!

of course the location is top secret (thanks racerchicky), and requires some serious driving skills to get there. {anyone know if the 'diff lock' button in the isuzu bakkie is active or passive?)

bizarre problemo

so knysna hippie girl sms's me the other night really late.
'i just won a sheep, what do you do with a whole sheep?!'
 
well like duh, SPITBRAAI!
 
It appears she is actually in Knysna, and this is what they give out in nightclubs instead of drink specials. So all we really need is a bakkie coming home from the forest marathon this weekend. Anyone?
 
That's much cooler than slagging the thing there and putting it into mulitple coolboxes.
