Did you know Australia is the worlds largest exporter of bogans to Vancouver… True story, go there and you will find endless drunk idiots yelling Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, while the native population looks on in embarrassed silence and tell their children that backpacking in Baghdad is a better option than risking catching whatever degenerative brain disease is obviously affecting the youth of ‘down under.’ But I digress, Australia now also exports Picture Wheels with their international launch happening a few weeks back and their first international Pro, Cale Nuske, signing last week! It’s awesome to see Ben and the boys up there doing good things, and to celebrate that fact, we are running a little story in the next issue of the mag which will cover the rise and rise of the next Australian skate powerhouse – I know it’s an early prediction but they are the nicest bunch of guys and are sure to do well… Keep em peeled for more news from Picture.
