Just a quick reminder that the Burton Cattlemans Rail Jam is happening this Saturday night and (for once) it’s looking like the conditions are going to be great.

The Muska Arrested In LA – TMZ Got It On Video

We’re big fans of The Muska here but he’s having a bit of a bad run at the moment.

Windells Session Three

Windells session three happened the other week and it was all the usual raddness you expect from these guys.

Check the shots above and the clip from the session below.

This Made My Day

Forum have released a teaser for their 2011 film Vacation and it looks incredible – but what would you expect from the crew that brought you Forever and Fuck It in the last few years? The blurb with the teaser says, “This last season was all about taking advantage of traveling on someone else’s dime, and focusing more on good times than hard work. Ironically, when the pressure went down, the progression of snowboarding went up … WAY UP.” It features …

Well, That Ruins That

Ken Block is a damn genius and it’d be rad to see him do his Gynkhana thing live. The clips he’s created for YouTube, the Top Gear spots, the car releases – it’s all been great and this is from someone with only a minor passing interest in rally. Block is bringing his skills to Melbourne some time soon and I would love to have gone but unfortunately the below commercial is playing and it all of a sudden seems like it isn’t my kind of gig. Hoonigans?
