2008-09-04T00:00:00.000+01:00

IM a dork. To make money im going to hack a well known site and then become a security analyst for them and make even more money. This is what every dork/geek aspires to do. Mitnick did exactly that. He dropped these two books as well which cover some essential techniques for crime/business/security. Its one of those documents that kind of labels itself as information for security experts to know so they can avoid getting scammed. in reality it acts as a how to in scamming people. The art of decpetion and the art of intrusion are essentially the same book. Except one is hyperthetical and the other is based on actual things that happend eg. LeonardoDiCaprios character Frank Abagnale jr from catch me if you can gets a few paragraphs. Catch me if you can is a great movie. Another example of a man who used to like being naughty and then became legit. Alot of important aspects of social engineering are covered which can help not only in crime but also in everyday life. Dumpster diving. Default passwords. Blagging. Uniforms.
Its worth a read like. gets a bit samey and kind of boring at some points but then some of the stuff inside is pure gold dust. he does have an incredible business card like!

ultraMan

2008-09-03T00:00:00.001+01:00

I first found out about Dean 'ultraMarathonMan' Karnazes in an issue of wired. In fact it was this thing right here. Read it. After I read that I got his book ultramarathon man. I think it was a pretty big seller and fucking loved it.
Ive always hated running and thought of it as a pretty boring past time. Big Dean changed all that because he is probably the most punk rock man on earth. Not in a mohawk on his head and a load of crap tattoos kind of way. He started running the night of his 30th birthday when he was shitfaced and thought about cheating on his wife. Before he did cheat he stripped off, hit the road and before he knew it he was 30miles away. his feats include stuff like ringing up for a pizza and a cheesecake to pound it while hes running a ridiculous distance through the night. He has too pound the calories because he burns so many on each run. He also ran so much he sent himself blind but he kept running regardless. I think this was during a race that was originally ran by horses through the mountains. He then snapped out of the blindness when someone gave him a cake with whole coffee beans in. Im not sure if that is a metaphor or not and in reality he got given a space cake. it wouldnt suprise me. hes also clocked a marathon through death valley and the arctic. he cuts back on sleep so he can run all night. Holds down a high powered big business job. even though hes a incredible athlete he isnt gay about it and still pounds coffee and things like that. fixes blisters with super glue. runs with his heart. read this book

the old buff house used to have a computer that everyone used. it used to live outside jims room because that was the only zone that got the downstairs office internet connection. everynow and then a new background would get made on paint. anyway the idea was to get em printed out for jims art show but it never got did. looking at these never fail to give me a laugh.

lets go to gibsonton florida?

2008-08-04T23:09:00.004+01:00

"By THOMAS BECNEL, Sarasota Herald-Tribune
Published: March 3, 2008

GIBSONTON - In the carnival capital of the world, a clown rides to Wal-Mart on a tricycle.

Ferris wheels rise out of backyards. Cotton candy booths line the streets. Bags of stuffed animals spill into a trailer park.

For generations, carnies have wintered in Gibsonton, called "Gibtown," in south Hillsborough County.

They eat and drink at the Showtown Bar & Grill. For business, they visit the annual trade show of the Showmen's Association. When they die, they wind up in a local mausoleum called Showmen's Rest.

Lots of carnies retire in Gibsonton, population 8,700. For those still traveling, it is a place for repairs and reunions.

"I just ran into a man that I haven't seen in seven years," said Jeff Vannortwick, 41, who works for Louie's Fun and Games. "There's a saying in the carnival: 'You meet everybody twice.'"

Once on the road, and once in Gibsonton.

Gibsonton straddles a bleak stretch of U.S. 41 just east of Tampa Bay. To the south is Apollo Beach, marked by the quadruple smokestacks of a huge power plant. To the north is Riverview, where twin phosphate mounds dominate the landscape.

In between, there are bars, bait shops, boat stores, food marts, thrift shops, Gomez Tacos, G-Town Auto Repair and First Baptist Church.

"It ain't the carnival town it used to be," said John Curtis, 78, an entrepreneur. "People died off."

The last to go, in late January, was Chuck Osak, owner of the Showtown Bar & Grill. A sign out front read: "Thank you, Chuck. We'll miss you."

Mourners included Little Pete Terhurney, 78, a 3-foot-tall carny and town mascot.

Gibsonton gained fame in the 1930s as "Freak Town," the winter resting place of human oddities and sideshow attractions: giants and midgets, fat men and bearded ladies. And there was The Lobster Boy and Percilla the Monkey Girl.

"Everybody fit in," said Ward Hall, 77, unofficial Gibtown historian. "People came here because they weren't looked at or talked about or asked questions. It's like any immigrant group concentrated in a ghetto. There's a certain level of tolerance. There's a comfort level."

Relaxed zoning rules allowed people to keep trailers on the street and elephants in their yards. The post office had a low counter for little people.

Giant's Place Out, Wal-Mart In

The 8-foot-4-inch Al Tomaini was volunteer fire chief. He ran Giant's Place restaurant beside the Alafia River. He was married to a legless woman, Jeanie the Half-Girl, who sold the business after he died. The restaurant closed last year.

There is still a For Sale sign, topped by "Reduced Price," in front of a crumbling structure.

When Giant's Place closed, and Wal-Mart came to town, some called it the end of an era for Gibsonton. Carnies without cars welcomed the convenience of a discount store.

That goes double - make that triple - for Randall Johnson, who performs as Kalvin the Klown for Tip Top Shows.

He gets around town on a gaily painted tricycle.

"It's for show," said Johnson, 46. "But right now it's for transportation. It carries a lot of stuff. I can load up at the Wal-Mart."

On a cloudy afternoon, Patricia Young carefully hangs her laundry on a barbed-wire fence next to a 50-foot-tall amusement park ride.

Young's boyfriend works as an electrician for Myers International Midways. She runs her own photo booth, taking pictures of children on a carousel horse.

After working at different factories in Kentucky, her home state, Young, 40, joined a traveling show.

"I like meeting new people," she said. "I like all the interesting people with the carnival. And I like kids; I like taking nice pictures of kids.

"Plus," she adds, "I get to be outside. I'm not stuck inside, doing one job all day long."

Young and her boyfriend travel the country in a trailer pulled by their battered Dodge pickup.

She likes to visit flea markets and yard sales. She reads a lot of paperbacks by Stephen King and Dean Koontz.

Across town, Melvin Moore, 58, washes the deep fryers in a glass-walled trailer with a sign for "Aunt Martha's Sausages." The carny learned the concession business from relatives.

"They originated all this," Moore said, pushing back the brim on his NASCAR cap. "Aunt Martha was my aunt."

An Era Is Ending

Times change. The carnival is not such a family business anymore. Fewer people speak "Czarnie," the midway language that inserts a 'Z' sound after the beginning of words.

Moore, like Young, is a Kentuckian who also drives a road-weary Dodge truck. He has been visiting Gibsonton since he was a little boy.

"Some years, we stay all winter, and sometimes we go up to Louisville and freeze," he said with a laugh.

Hall, a lifelong showman, lives at the end of Shirley Avenue in Gibsonton.

Next door is Huston the Illusionist. Across the street is a rusty trailer for the former All-American Family Circus.

Hall still travels with the World of Wonders. It is one of the last sideshows in the country, but few of its performers come from Gibsonton.

There is a 24-inch-tall Midget Lady from Colorado, a sword-swallower from Virginia and fire-eater from Michigan.

Years ago, Hall employed Fat Men and Tattooed Ladies. But those days are over. Today, it is not unusual for people to be obese, or have their bodies covered with permanent ink.

"The next thing to go will be fire-eaters," he said. "Too many kids do that now, too."

Hall wears hearing aids and has lost a few teeth, but his sharp memory scans decades of carnival history. He has had health problems, including chronic bronchitis and heart failure, but he said he will not retire until he is 100.

When Hall dies, his remains will go to Showman's Rest. He has already written his epitaph: "Being of sound mind, he spent all his money."

Meanwhile, Hall will go back on the road with the World of Wonders. He does not mind living out of a small trailer.

Like Gibsonton, it is what he knows. It is home.

"Oh, yes, when I was a kid on the circus train, I only had half a berth, and those were the happiest days of my life," he said."

Easy Mate
I have had to change the names because if she sees it on shithawks I would be in big trouble with work. I’ve also cut out some of the crap conversation, so see what you think. I thought the names Tracy and Dave were pretty standard names and pretty funny. Enjoy:::::::

Tracy says:
did you need a link or anything

Tracy says:
linking back to me or CWH?

Dave says:

Dave says:

Tracy says:

Dave says:

Tracy says:

Dave says:

Tracy says:
or questioning me?

Tracy says:
ahh... well.. can i be blunt

Dave says:

Tracy says:

Tracy says:
oh yeah

Tracy says:
i have to have towels and blankets under me if i bate on my bed

Tracy says:
and i can squirt multiple times

Dave says:
jesus that sounds awesome, does it happen during sex?

Tracy says:

Tracy says:

Tracy says:
then suck it off

Tracy says:

Dave says:
oh well

Dave says:
does you hubby like it?

Tracy says:
he loves it

Dave says:
i bet he does

Dave says:
it must be quite a tall order to squirt on comand for the shows.

Tracy says:
nah

Tracy says:
it used to be

Tracy says:
then I learned to control it some

Tracy says:
and now i can do it when ever i use a dildo if i concentrate some

Dave says:
wow thats impressive

Tracy says:
most guys seem to enjoy it in my shows

Dave says:
i bet

Tracy says:
i should advertise that more

Tracy says:
but somehow it seems better to suprise them a little

Tracy says:
like asking the people in chat do you like squirters

Dave says:
yeah, thats a good

Tracy says:
plus... there could be one night that it doesnt work or something

Tracy says:
lol

Tracy says:
I only started doing this like in jan

Dave says:
yeah right, you could lose your powers

Dave says:
do you think all girls can do it

Tracy says:
well i gained them out of the blue

Tracy says:
dunno... i never could until this year

Tracy says:
and it jsut sort of happened

Dave says:
how weird

Dave says:
did you do anything different or did it just happen once when you came

Tracy says:
hubby actually got me to do it

Tracy says:
I think he was rubbing towards my ass with his fingers instead of my gspot

Tracy says:
which gets me everytime now

Tracy says:
at first... i could only do it with him or a clit orgasm

Tracy says:
then i could do it with a toy by myself

Tracy says:
then i just started having more of it... and could squirt just about whenever i wanted too

Dave says:
does it feel amazing?

Tracy says:
oh yes... bery intense

Tracy says:
very

Dave says:
hahahha

Dave says:
awesome

Dave says:
this might sound stupid but do you get dehydrated from squirting?

Tracy says:
dunno... i drink a lot of water bottles

Dave says:
good idea

Tracy says:
yeah... plus it gets so hot here

Tracy says:
gotta drink a lot of water

Tracy says:
I wish i could visit london again

Dave says:
you should

Tracy says:
me and my two girlfriends went there and stayed with friends in 2003

Dave says:
did you go out partying much?

Tracy says:
not really... we were good "church girls" then

Dave says:
london is great for partying

Tracy says:
thats why i want to go back

Tracy says:

Tracy says:
I am more of a tequlia type of gal... but thats funny

tequila is the best, i go insane off it

Tracy says:
its about the only thing that i can get drunk off of.. hehehe

Dave says:

Tracy says:
on about the 5 or 6th shot i might get a slight buzz

Dave says:
hahhah no way, i'm a total lite weight

Tracy says:
to sound gross for a minute

Tracy says:
I think its because i pee a lot

Dave says:
or squirt a lot

Tracy says:
and the alcohol is out before i can get a buzz on it

Dave says:
hahahha

Dave says:
so are you still a good church girl then?

Tracy says:
i believe in God... but I am not so good probably

Dave says:
fair enough

Tracy says:
i just have the belief now that if I am not hurting anyone and I dont feel guilty about waht i am doing.. then all is good

Dave says:
good thinking that i think

Dave says:
does you hubby not mind you doing the shows then?

Tracy says:
hell no

Tracy says:
lol

Tracy says:
i record it for him sometimes

Tracy says:
so he has a homemade porno when he gets home from work

Tracy says:
and other times he stands to the side and watches if he is at home

Dave says:

Sometimes shopping in Newcastle seems like a waste of time. Sometimes its hard to get the motivation to go. this shopping trip was actually pretty rad.

Cash converters is always good for a laugh. 25p vhs tapes. titles such as radioactive dreams. circuitry man 3. As are charity shops. always full of Cracker jack women behind the counters/retards/yts/radge cunts/daft cunts/mongs/MISERS/jakey bastards. Eavesdropping in charity shops always yields something funny. One day the dictaphone is coming out. 3 shaun hutson books for £1.50 after a bit of a haggle.

Errrrr love how much is the bug detector in the window? im not sure about £120? buy now at newcastle cash converters. WTF. I love this shit.

Reduced computer games right next to card bar. This place is new but they already have the best SNES selection in the toon. Super Mario Kart is £15. Still worth it! The rest are cheaper. They buy and sell as well. Lethal Enforcers on the mega cd, never seen that in real life before. Chris Lee should've got his wallet out.

Kard Bar still rules. Bongs, the raddest posters ever, belt buckles, badges, patches, t shirts. Its got the lot. I like how the gadgies behind the counter wear a shirt and tie as well. the Old Jakeys hanging about outside trying to get you to buy drink from the shop cos they are barred. Jimmy obliged and got £2 for his troubles. good lads!

The Black Bish pre world record consecutive ollies record attempt chilling in Native. Failed attempt, unlucky son. all Skateboarding goods covered.

get in the kitchen woman an make me some fucking eggs

2008-06-18T13:23:00.005+01:00

Cooking something that is in a film is always fun. Slicing garlic with a razor blade like goodfellas. buttering your corn on the cob by rolling it on a buttered slice of bread (i forget the film?). just generally watching people eat on film. yesterday we watched v for vendetta. They cook eggy in a basket and it looked fantastic. a bit of research on the net and stu hit the kitchen a clocked one. Text book way to eat an egg. fried and scrambled can get a bit stock after a while. Boiled and poached are good but sometimes just lack a bit of zing. Eggs benedict, what are you crazy, too upper class. mashed up in a cup with some bread and eggy bread both rock. egg in the basket are mos def flavour of the month. eggs are always good, so is bread. nutritious and delicious. bread+egg= eating good.

tom bright - dry spell

2008-06-12T14:58:00.006+01:00

TomB

I dont know where Tom Bright came from. It just seemed like one day he landed in Newcastle and he has been here ever since. He looks like Lewis Hamilton and has the most technical desk setup Ive ever seen. Hes behind a new video thats on the horizon called 'dry spell'. MSN messanger interview on the subject.

home turf stockIce

carmine says: you want to do an interview like right now

Tom says: ermmm i don't really have anything of interest to say?

carmine says: yeah you do, ill be the judge

Tom says: you wanna get the peter peeves interview - that shit would be gold dust

carmine says: right ill fire away. whys your video gonna be called dry spell? is it to do with the weather or is it to do with having no joy with the ladies?

Tom says: Well, basically the name came about after Jim and Pete applied some pressure to sort a promo out for TWW premiere in Newcastle so me and Pete started brainstorming, started searching for quotes that could be relevant and read that with dry spell in it and thought that it was pretty applicable to the way things end up around here

Tom says: in terms of you're constantly waiting for a dry spell

carmine says: your a real smooth talker and a hit with the ladies. do you put this down to looking like the white version of lewis hamilton or kinda looking like a tom white lookalike?

Tom says: Definately the Hamilton influence. Don't see the similarity to Tom White like...

carmine says: you are a ninja. how come you can do the prince naz flip over the ropes and the somersault on flat

Tom says: The naz flip came first when I was about 11, spent an evening trying front flips on flat in the front garden dialled them in then one day at school decided to show off and flip a rail...

carmine says: if these dont feature in your section i will be furious. prince naz hippy jump or somersault down stairs to waiting bike like that skater dude? some next level shit. a bit like jimmy n's matrix wall run to bike jump on that never saw the light of day.

Tom says: the somersault came years later when I was about 14, parents went away for the weekend so I moved a load of mattresses into the living room and a few hours later had them down into the foam. Taking it to the hard ground took another few holidays for the parents

carmine says: you can hit the commando press up as well. i was well impressed. do these inhuman powers help with your riding?

Tom says: I've got one creative idea for the hippy jump but unfortunately it features no flips. The naz dismount has been done before so wouldn't want to bite on that. I think they help with novelty tricks like the hippy jump or occasionally when you bail but other then that....

carmine says: whens the video going to be done? whos got sections?

carmine says:
will you use the benny hill theme tune for the crash section?

Tom says: Hoping to finish the video in time for Christmas, although that’ll depend on the summer weather I guess. Expect to see full length sections from Chris Lee, Peter Greaves, Scott Taylor, Olly Olsen, myself (if I can step up) and the stock friends section.

Scotty T, skins to benny hil crash section

Christophe Lee chainless rail hop to pulled???

TemplePizzy not so easy wallride to loose your £55 hard rock cafe jack piece.

carmine says: i heard chris lee is going to have municipal waste as the tune for his section. is this fact?

Tom says: Wouldn't like to give anything away but riders get to pick their own section songs - you be the judge

carmine says:
olly = venom
scott t=stoner rock
jeeves=black eyed peas

Tom says: HAHAHAAHHAHHAHAHAH

Gyra not tBog

carmine says: whats it like living with pete?

Tom says: It's like living in a farm. He can do more animal impressions than anyone and for some reason seems to enjoy doing them even when there's no one else around? I guess to stay on your horse noise game you gotta put in the hours...
Benny Hill theme could be a serious consideration for crash section

carmine says: i heard your having a party. whats going to be going on

Tom says: Unfortunately you'll have to speak to the long man for info on that one, I'm away with a lady friend.

carmine says: dammmmmmmmmmmn. got anything else to say? im kinda out of questions?

Tom says: Everybody involved in BMX in someway must see this
http://www.vimeo.com/231397

carmine says: ha ha. is there going to be a re make?

Tom says: YES

carmine says: sweet, hows this video gonna be better than hiatus?

Tom says: Level of riding will be higher, footage quality will be much higher. Hi8tus will probably appear on the bonus too

carmine says: right then. i think that wraps it up. ill post that shit up asap

Tom says: awesome

carmine says: mad Hype

2008-06-08T20:52:00.001+01:00

Getting stuff for free is always good, be it by hook or by crook. Evasion is a book about exactly that. King of the punks skater dudes decides he isnt paying anymore, for anything. Skate all day, eat free food, blag some records. The book has so much stuff i enjoy in it. Petty theft, scams, bull shitting, blagging, razer finger, demagnatizer, receipt scams, squatting, tramps, looking in bins for stuff, getting in for free, freight hopping, con artistry of the highest degree. Anyway a big review of this book wouldnt do it justice. just read one of its best bits.

"It was a common annoyance at the grocery store– I‘d have my 50c bagel, the exact change ready, my food to steal snugly in left hand, a big smile, then arrive at the Odwalla fresh-squeezed juice case to find the Odwalla delivery man restocking, blocking my path to the Mango Tangos. I‘d stand to the side, tapping my toe. Behind me was the restroom where–in the old days, richer with struggle–I would lock myself inside with an armload of food and have lunch. To my left, the microwave where I heated my bagels–six each morning. No kidding. Directly ahead, the manager‘s booth. He never seemed to recognize me, though he‘d kicked me out of the massive dumpster in back at least once. Most employees bought the —looking for rabbit food“ line, but not him! And the orange produce-pyramid next to me. Absorbing, but didn‘t touch the towering, geometrically precise pyramid of empty Odwalla bottles in my abandoned house. A project in utter gridlock until the delivery man finished. I mean, I appreciated his work, needed it even, just wished he‘d accommodate my schedule, or leave the delivery truck unlocked or something. I mean really, are you or are you not —down with the kids“? Sheesh! Well at least the juice was free.
Blackberry Shake, Rooty Fruity Carrot Juice.. . He filled the cases with fresh juice every morning, then filled his crates with —expired“ juice. Juice certainly slated for the dumpster, a big dumpster far away, a dumpster filled with every West Coast Odwalla discard. A dumpster I would find one day, and live in. To us–the health conscious criminals–Odwallas were our kiss of life, invigorating, something to drink on the bus while we gazed out the window at the pleasant landscape and got all starry-eyed. And really, reading on the waterfront all day just wasn‘t a postcard without a Piña Colada. My clichés are very important to me. It was tasty juice, but also serving the functional purpose of offsetting the unhealthy —Bagel Diet“–hotly contested amongst dieticians, the chic dietary regimen of pulling whole bags of bagels from dumpsters, selecting those with fruit, eating them, then going to the record store. So, in our world, the Odwalla man was, really, the —Giver Of Life.“ Above the employees at Tower Records who threw out whole bags of CDs, above our noble creator continually manifesting the hospitality of strangers in desperate times, above even the friendly brakies at the train yard who put us on the correct train, and not the one to Council Bluffs. That one‘s never the right train. And anyway, does Odwalla deliver to Iowa? Why take a chance?
He‘d storm in the store pushing his handcart like he was in a real big hurry. He‘d rush the cooler and assess the stock at a glance. Quickly, he‘d jot a few numbers on his clipboard, pull the —post-dated“ product, and dash out with whole crates of juice–simply dozens of bottles! In pitiful form I was never proud of, I‘d reach out longingly at the tragedy-in-progress, shaking my head in despair. —Left-handing“ two bottles, for me, was standard. Three some days. Four could be done. Amber claimed to have done five. We‘d even taken to filling reusable canvas grocery bags at times, then left-handing those. At two trips a day, it was a lot of juice. My quart-a-day carrot juice habit troubled Ginger, who at each meeting demanded I show her my palms–“They‘re orange!“ Bagels aside, we were approaching the —All Liquid Diet.“ Still, each morning I‘d be reading the paper at my table by the latte counter, watch the Odwalla man come and go, and wonder–“What gives him the right?!?!“
I was pretty sure it was the coveralls.
Twelve hours after the thought, I was in Kmart, paying for sunflower seeds and holding a pair of coveralls and mesh hat below the counter. Ten minutes after that I was creeping across the loading dock of the supermarket, my sights fixed on the unguarded handcart. Sammy had donated two genuine Odwalla crates his records were stored in. Baxter had assembled an impressively phony list of invoice slips for the clipboard. The next hour I was suited up, my cart aimed at Safeway. Libby was the getaway driver, Baxter the lookout–yo, it was on!
Zipping up my coveralls, I thought–gosh, I look like a real —worker.“ A dangerous compromise, but so is a day without juice! Wearing a blue-collar noose for ten minutes was, nonetheless, a greatly lesser concession than years of supermarket visits allowing only two bottles per trip. At 59c a visit, the established power structure had us locked in a ruinous cycle of spending, dependence on their dimes and quarters. The bottom of the economic ladder was a comfortable place, but what of being off the
ladder altogether? What‘s that like?! I burned to sever all ties. Libby said I was bananas. Pulling myhat real low, I tilted my cart, high-fived my getaway driver, and rushed the Safeway!
Filling my crates with juice, I really felt myself merging with the role. I was the Odwalla man! And if thereal Odwalla man walked in, with his cart, I wasn‘t sure what I‘d say...
So, if I looked like the Odwalla man, and veteran employees thought I was the Odwalla man, then Ifilled two crates of juice and pushed them out the door like the Odwalla man, was I, in fact, theOdwalla man? Could you prove otherwise?!
Throwing the crates in the trunk, Baxter and Libby just shook their heads. I think we all took a momenttodigest the profound applications of falsified identity Then we just drank a lot. Hand me a ProteinShake...Was it psychology? Or physics? Or the same force behind the receipt scam–magic? No doors wereclosed, no merchandise out of reach to a hurried man with coveralls and a clipboard. Proven in 1997when a man/woman team assumed the role of ATM repair-persons, pushed a cart into a mini-mart,and pushed out the ATM! The employee even held the door! We didn‘t need money, but what ofphonographic stereo equipment? The whole Odwalla case?! Since spotting a shiny new cellophane-wrapped case behind Whole Foods one day, I‘ve been sort of obsessed with owning one of those. Alittle logistical fine-tuning and this was really going places...
The juice flowed in our house that week. When the last drop of carrot juice left the 50th bottle, the kidsbegan shooting me–the house criminal–thirsty impatient glances. —You know what to do,“ the lookssaid...Libby zipped my coveralls, Baxter took his lookout post by the bananas. Burglars and arsonists, theysay, always return to the crime scene. Poor form perhaps, but I was thirsty!
Avoiding the appearance of outright burglary, I left one in each row. Everything else went in the cart.Shoppers reached over me to get their juice, walk to the register, and pay! I don‘t know, I can‘t explainit either...
50 bottles later (50 x $2.99=$149.50), I pulled my hat down, jotted meaningless numbers on my blankinvoice sheet, tilted the cart, and walked. It was so dramatic! Baxter and I exchanged knowing nodsas I passed the bananas, and the final stretch seemed a cessation of reality beyond my fixed path–just me, my juice, and the door! Nothing between me and victory but ten feet and... a pair of feet. Indress shoes. Help.”Ah, what‘s going on?“The manager. He looked suspicious.—Uh, restocking“ I mumbled, scribbling on the invoice.—OK, ah, we just got a delivery this morning...Tone, body language, steam rising from head. . . all suggesting my identity as being something otherthan the Odwalla man! I just might cancel this account!—So... what‘s going on?!“After a brief footchase I lay slouched in the car, shaking my head. Time to steal a new cart..."

plus the whole book is online a la pdf for free. Almost as good as stealing it?

Either way had a pretty good night in the CooperRage. Saw some people i aint seen in a while like geordie cox, the other cox's, benson and marv. Plakka was dropping the i phone network looking for some adult friend finder affiliate schemes. Someone nearly scored for one as well but got his collar felt after it started ringing.

once i get on http://www.popthatzit.com i cant get off it. There is just something so satisfying about watching people pop spots, freakish things growing on the human body, surgical procedures and animals getting boils lanced. If thats wrong then i dont want to be right. I dont know what the best bit of the site is though. Its either the comments, like the one about how the mexicans always have the best spot videos or its the reactions when you get people to watch the vids.
This shit has to be one of my faves though. Its straight out of man on the moon. when andyKaufman/jimcarey/tonyClifton is trying to find a cure for his cancer or whatever and goes to that nutter fraud Dr and then creases up when he realizes its slight of hand croc of shit. probably fake, a bible, oozing puss, tumour, sound effects, voiceover, YES!!!

interview with a football-ist

2008-06-01T11:48:00.008+01:00

the hand of GOD
A horrbile man on and off the pitch. An interview with Richard Lognone

lets have it right i dont proffece to be a good footballer, i have played football, i have loved football, so for the italian tank i will tell you a little bit about me and football. You may not be interested but there is a few yarns to be spun and i owe to the big man upstairs.
to be perfectly honest like the sad case i am i could tell you exactly how many goals i have scored in each season since i was 9. i remeber my first goal, my first booking the first time i seen a team mate try to take on the home sides supporters in a fight, and the best knock out punch i have ever seen.
it all began when me da used to challenge me to do 10 then 20 then 30 keepy ups before he gave me my tea what a cunt but hey i loved the challenge tho. The first team i played for was a team called corbirdge rovers, id played for school but i aint counting that. i was 9 playing for under 12s on full size pitches no wonder i have knees like a baby giraffe, and also why the english game never gets anywhere long ball game all the way , bull shit. on the continent everyone plays on small pitches and thats why they tear teams apart with their passing, while us English kick and run, daft cunts. Played their for like 5 years got asked to go to Newcastle when i was playing for a district team aged 9 but being small and weak me manager wouldnt let me go ill never forget that old mug.
Anyway after some 4 years playing for corbridge and what can best be descibed as aload of handicaps, i signed for hexham bears playing in the coast colts league always loved travelling to berwick but more for the scotch pie and chips after the game than getting pissed on in the baltic conditions, during my time there i got a bit bigger a bit faster and a bit trickier, i played for northumberland school boys travelling all over country playing scousers, cockneys, and hanging with glaswegians at festivals around the country. Those guys loved getting their cocks out and shagging reps from the haven holiday resorts it was an eye opener to say the least cause as a 16 year old i dont think i knew what a fanny was never mind seeing these fuckers smash the shit out of some poor blart. i was a late starter what can i say. while playing for northumberland another mug from a private school knocked me back for going to England trials as he said he wanted his kid to go to build his confidence, its easy to see how ive hit the bottle in a slighlty less messy way than heros such as best, gascoinge and macavenny. Played for the bears till i was 17 then foot and mouth hit us bad , you used to see a mass of burning animal carcasses in a near by feild not the best views of the tyne valley, carmine may disagree. Left School signed for consett was a little man in a mans game then after pounding burpys for bout 3 month i became match fit and played my first game it was at marske and i gave away a penalty in 10 minutes playing as a right back, which wasnt my position i wasnt complaining the gaffer gave me an envelope at the end and i made 15 quid i was buzzing, playing for consett twice a week made me a good £30 quid a week and as a shandy pants it paid for pink kangaroos in donnies on a saturday night never better, unfotunatly we got relegated that season and our manager broke down in tears in the dressing room anouncing his resegnation at the end of the match, but i wasnt arsed. At the time i was still buzzing at taking steve agnew ex sunderland out at the knee in a fair but strong challenge dont think pops has ever been so proud maybe once before when i announced i got a u in my a-level biology, who knows. Nah he was canny happy as i seen him and my uncle john creasing themselves on the sidelines, one of a few highlights in a not so glamerous carrer. That season finished and i had managed to tear part of my cruciate and chiped a bone off my ankle in a match playing for my pub side the globe. ive alaways been injury prone and this set me back quite a while.
After near on a year out the game i then got asked to sign for Gateshead i was pretty thrilled by this but knew i was no longer as fit as a butchers dog so i pounded some miles and hit the roads on my Raliegh Atlanta mountain bike but after 3 games into pre season i once again made a school boy error. While playing for a pub side i wasnt meant to be playing for I snapped my collar bone, probs the worst pain ive ever experienced but the pain killers were good and i was soon trying to ring my mates from x-ray to tell them i had a collapsed lung and a ruptured ovary, the phone soon got confiscated. so once again i was sidelined for about 6 months and thought whats the fucking point in playing anymore, but once while chilling drinking blu pigs in blu bambu i met me meart and he hooked me up for a team called percy main had a great time playing for them they werent the best team but they had great team spirit and loved the party but our team was young and we got relegated, that season was a strange one, i was involved in a 30 man brawl with supporters from a rival team it was brutal and was described as the worst incedent in the leagues history its a mircale we didnt get kicked out the league. After that season i signed for previous champions shankhouse where i currently am but i broke my wrist and i had to stop playing cause of work and then when i was better i lost my job which was a sickener, i had a breif spell at team northumbria in northern league then went back to shankhouse i aint going to go into anymore detail cause im sick of doing this peaceout homepisses. heres me top 5 vids:

1) this is my favourate player of all time, how can u not like a man who takes pop shots at photgraphers with a rifle, he is a god, he likes steaks, he likes chaz, he hangs out with the top ten of the fbi's most wanted list, he likes a smoke and he likes a splash if i had his talent i would be exactly the same a touch of fucking class.

http://uk. youtube. com/watch?v=96DUcbtEvcU
2) this ones for me pops for my french roots for smoking 20 tabs a day and still being able to score in every major final he ever played in. when i am older i will look back at players like zidane and remeber just how fucking sick they acctually are. he put a nut on materazi and still didnt give a fuck in his last ever game, hes a typical arrogant frenchman but to be fair the kid he can do what he fucking likes he walks on fucking water.

3) the things is with this video its one i cant watch that often as it brings me to tears i aint some kind of soft cock, i aint one to show emotion but if your a newcaslte fan this could hit you hard. if your not im sure you will appreciate how immense he was and how you would have wished him to play for your club. i feel bad for maybe not appreciating him as much as i should but the kids fucking frightening no wonder roy keane shit himself every time he got eye balled by big al.

4) there are many strikers i could have put on here owen, batistuta (sorry cook), asprillia, weah all players i idolised when i was a youth. but as a young player and you wanna learn about scoring goals watch this geezer not only was he clinical but he wore nike tiempos and i always wanted a pair but me dad got me puma kings. i wasnt complaining like gazza wore them but the sickest boots in 94 were addidas world cups still going stong today the mighty puma kings and the nike tiempos which my school friend michael atkinson pulled off ever so well when he took out all the studs and wore them as trainers to school, what a fucking doyle.

5) this was a hard choice he got in just in front of de canio (shithawks mcs facist favourate) and a few others. But if you wanna see a guy who i maybe mistaken on this but didnt turn pro till he was 24 and worked his way up from lower league football, he plays in the championship and the only reason he hasnt made it to the higher levels is due to lack of fitness but if you wanna see a showboat and someone who takes the piss their is no better than trundle he shows no respect to anyone hes a scouse but like that pug faced scouse cunt rooney hes is fucking lethal.

It was hotter than a mother fucker. We went riding some lesser rode spots etc. Got a few flicks.

I like to eat, is that such a crime?

2008-05-22T12:58:00.005+01:00

Sometimes trying to find something good to eat in Newcastle is a nightmare. All the take aways serve pure filth, shit thats made solely for the big market drunk. Not at all like europe where it seems every takeaway serves the greatest stuff. Everyday a Lamuchun Berlin style on a stoop with a Sternburg and still have change from a couple of euros is hard to replicate up here. Theres plenty of Turkish takeaways but they all seem to have lost their roots and are only interested in money, 6quid dodgy doner meat manky pitta all with jizz like garlic sauce, filth. They make me sick, stop raping your culture and cook something decent.

Reza takeaway, keeping it real

One man who does keep it real is the dude from Reza the persian place in town near the carling academy. £3 gets you a sweet deal for dinner which is probably pretty good for you, tastes awesome and is cooked by a pro right infront of you. When you go in to order the gaffer will probably be round the back taking care of some business so his Mrs will have to give him a shout. He has a great tash and an impecable style. He grabs a couple of balls of dough and passes them through some kind of mechanized mangle to flatten em out. Then he whacks them on the inside of this rad clay oven thing. If you order the minced lamb takeaway roll he grabs a couple of swords and pounds some meat around them and then cooks them over some flaming grill. Whacks some salad and sauce on, rolls it up in tin foil and bobs your uncle. The minced lamb is awesome and id say the baked abergine has the edge over the flaming aubergine. I still havent eaten the chicken one yet but i look forward to it. Bish put us onto this place. Bish is a culinary master. He also put us onto the pork roll from the jasmine bakery around the corner which is also rad. I like going to a place where no one is speaking english. Its an obvious sign that the scran is good. Just like picking a burrito joint in america. Only go to the ones where the mexicans are at. Me fatha Also told me only ever go to a chip shop with a que. This does not apply to gills on chilli road though. That place is straight up shit. Gritty chips served with a horrbile old woman with a sour pyat isnt what im after. Walk a few minutes and go to the chinese people that own the chip shop on heaton road. The fish and chips are better, they dont bother to cook pizza or kebabs and wont be putting cheese on anything and the service can only be described as entertaining "sal vinegarrrrrrrrr, open rapppp". I love the place its got character and stick to what they are good at, fish batter fryer. unlike any corporate chain that lives on chilli road just like those turks they sold out a longtime ago. Boycot the fucking street its shit, apart from the grocery which is rad. Now your down Heaton road check out anglo pizza. These boys drop the best deal going, Its pretty much always half price. I lived out my childhood fantasy and dropped the double calzone.

Anglo pizza double calzone

I think that is part one pretty much over but there will no doubt be more installments of this section in the future. In the words of Jack Black, " I like to eat, is that such a crime?"

"i'll call the police i swear!"

One day while in Germany Lewis was crawling about the bushes. He happend to disturb a few nudists in a secluded spot of the lake. They werent best pleased. Lewis took the opportunity to try to have a wash in front of them in the lake. As soon as he pulled out his bar of soap the German uttered the "ill call the cops" line. Ollly captures the essence of this German scene with a portrait of a bemused and deshevelled Lewis emerging from a swamp in the heart of Berlin. A lovely touch.

last night at the park was pretty crazy. some off it radge cunt came at us with a bottle while we were riding the bowl and then robbed weinermans van and ragged it around exi. we locked the gate at the top so he couldnt get out and got on the blower to the polis. they showed up in force and collared tommy daft cunt as he was walking back to the scene of the crime. hopefully the radge will get fucked

driving a van along the a1 has its advantages, spotted these the other week. both have potential but i havent rode them yet. first is a sick bank near whickham which kind of left me thinking what would ruben do? there is a deadman gap from stairs to bank, maybe too much of a deadman. the bank goes into the floor further along so looks rideable. the second is a bank to rail on a slip road from a housing estate onto the a1. probably isnt that busy of a road so also rideable.

got some fliks of the spots. the whickham one is pretty much unrideable unless youve got something to prove. it kind of borke my heart. i was certain it was going to be great. good job we didnt ride all the way there the other day. the bank to rail is ok i guess. kind of like 5 bridges but a bit harder and maybe dare i say a little more street? is 5 bridges still a street spot?

constitutional club

2008-05-07T23:59:00.006+01:00

"Where we going tonight?"
"dunno? hold up, you see them lights on that top floor of an office building?"
"we're going there"
That wasnt what was actually said but you get the jist of the kind of night we were having. Saturday night and kinda sick of same old indie bullshit disco. The top floor office party was our goal. Well what we thought was an office party, turns out it wasnt. The best place to look for a place to get in to a mystery office block party is probably around the front of it, at some kind of doorway. Some kind of doorway was found thanks to some metal mom smokers and a bored looking entry exit technician.
"Is there a party on upstairs?"
"Nah its a rock night"
The metal moms agreed and told us we should go up. Onward to the lift shaft, Not unlike the time me and dazzyE went to a night club which was on the top floor of some berlin tower block with an icelandic bird. The second club i have been to with a lift shaft entrance. This time there was less germans, strobes and You wanna fuck my wife. I wondered what had happend to the old mayfair crowd who had to start going to the arena who then had to start going another place. Seems they go here now, the constitutional club once a month or something, 'miniMyafair'. Instantly i was taken back to the arena with Iwas made for loving you being the first tune to grace our ears. The dance floor with the most incredible views of newcastle was kicking off in true air guitar style. Imagine the constitutional club as the reform club from 80 days around the world. During the day the most gently of gentlemen of newcastle must attend. The interior has the finest furniture cut with the finest of linens and joinery of which only a master craftsman capeable. A guest book from 1973. the pilgrim suite. The whole place is a little qe2. There is no que for the bar. At the close of play everyone ques to use the lift 6 at a time.
Rock nights, old rockers and high class clubs on top floor penthouses shouldnt mix? This is probably why this place is so amazing. Ithink the next one is the 7th.
A catacomb rave and panorama style techno night followed......

The 'man' was making people que to get on the top floor of the famous soon to be demolished car park. So instead of waiting like a sucker we decided to hit the lower floors and market area of the car park to see what we could see, see, see. We had a whale of a time running about the dis used shops which were in the process of being gutted by thompsons of prudhoe. Demolition, you can write your own cheque and also get a bit more cash back when you weigh in the copper. What a trade. Getting paid to smash shit up, the impossible dream. You really dont know what youve got till its gone, Joni michell never lies, we even found some new street spots there. Mooched about, found some great artefacts, climbed ladders, smashed some shit up, went wild. We didnt go to the top but fuck it, you couldnt get in the restaurant anyway. Tesco still suck. Shoplifting from them is a victim-less crime.

GET CARTER OPENday!!

2008-04-24T16:03:00.003+01:00

getCarter is open this weekend, last ever chance to get to the fucking top!!! I'm not going to miss out like the time I missed out from visiting Hexhams Nuclear Bunker before that got destroyed. Source the chronicle via living newcastle skateboard legend BISH. He also put us onto a baseball sized sandwhich for 3 quid from a persian takeaway. Photos after the weekend for sure!!! excited

"GATESHEAD'S Get Carter car park is due to be reduced to rubble. But before it does, people are being encouraged to visit the iconic building and take in its panoramic views.

This weekend, the top floor of the car park, made famous in the 1971 gangster film Get Carter starring Michael Caine, is being opened to the public.

The stark concrete building is due to be torn down.

From its top level, which has been closed for several years, people will have spectacular views across the Tyne.

The 1960s brutalist structure, arguably the town’s most prominent landmark, was built by Owen Luder, hailed as one of Britain’s most important post-war architects. His other famous Gateshead landmark, The Rocket, at Dunston, is also earmarked for demolition.

The car park opened in 1967 over a market hall surrounded by a shopping precinct at its base.

It was intended to be a centrepiece of the community and the top floor featured a space for a restaurant, which was never used and remains empty.

After Caine’s character, Jack Carter, threw corrupt businessman Cliff Brumby, played by Bryan Mosley, from the top of the car park, the building developed a cult following.

The public’s visits, on April 26 and 27, are being organised by Tesco’s development arm Spenhill, which owns the site.

The supermarket giant is pulling down the Trinity Square complex to make way for a superstore, apartments and cinema.

David Bunce, director of culture and communities at Gateshead Council, said: “The car park has dominated Gateshead’s skyline for more 30 years and has been a constant talking point for the different opinions of those who either love, hate or are indifferent about it.

“There is still much interest in the structure’s architecture and we wanted to give people the chance to have one last look.”

The visits will run from 10am to 1pm and from 2pm to 5pm each day.

2008-04-23T10:19:00.005+01:00

oui oui!! mange tous rodney. imprudence is one of the sickest street vids ever made. even when it was new no one really had a copy. the video was talked about as if it was a myth from a foreign land. eventually i saw olsens vhs pirate version of it. I was stoked. It was made in the land of the renault 19 16 valve, 21 turbo, 5 turbo like a million years ago and has aged like a fine wine. so ahead of its time. Desoneaux doing pedal hang fives on street. Grafitti video style hip hop soundtrack. the french. Heres me fave sections but check out the lot over at WATCH BMX. its well worth it. best site ever, i think so!

Ped hang 5 on streeeeeet. People with rad names and rad styles! big willie taking it to the knackers jumping a wall.

Julien Poupelin, the most french looking person i have ever seen. double boners at the sickest spot ever. straight from la haine. they go ooh and arrrghh when i jump in my car#

Olivier Rohion/james cox lookalike/ratboy double flatty crankflip drop! John mini he is manual master, on a left on a right, sometimes he does fat trick, he must do it.

i miss the vhs copy of this quite alot. I have no idea where it went?

my camera is broken so i cant upload any videos that i was going to. but it has actually turned out to be a bit of a blessing in disguise as I have been rooting about the net a bit recently and am actually amazed by the amount of older BMX stuff that is already on it. Ive got some of my faveourite sections to post up. canny wait. Hopefully everyone can get a little teary eyed.

rail with a broken hand

Christopher Lee is doing the above rail with a broken hand. Somehow he blagged his cast off after a week with the promise constant rest, ice and elevation to the good Dr's of the NHS. They bought it and this is what happens, Ride it off! Poor old chaffy jeeves took it ot the nuts though.

Christophe can be seen in the latest rideUK dropping the GetCarter gap. Scotty T is in there 2. GetCarter is boarded up now. olsens shin pad is even in it. Chicken jumping through a hoop of fire is rad. as is his jump over a tractor. as is john deere. all in all its a good issue. A lot better than an issue about photography bollocks which no one gives a shit about.

mash SF

2008-04-14T21:53:00.003+01:00

Ricky brought round the Mash SF video the other day. I was sceptical at first but its actually dope. The video mainly revoloves around pedalling down San Franciscos biggest hills on a fixed wheel bicycle in the traffic. So there are a load of sections of people pedalling through traffic but the 2 best sections are from the guys who filmed it, one on a skateboard and one on a scooter. I even found them both on youtube for you all to enjoy. Look out for the lethal speed wobble and some stevie hamilton style tricks. Im predicting the scooter footage could become big in BMX? Almost gets me as stoked as watching the John Cardiel life story.

'The Badger'

2008-04-13T12:31:00.005+01:00

"As long as I breathe, I attack."

"Hinault was the type of character that loved competition and especially the
total domination of the other riders. I remember a quote, from Stephen Roche
I think, that told of the terror that riding with Hinault could inflict on a new professional.
The Irishman said, that as a young pro he was forced to sit on the wheel of Bernard
Hinault as best he could, for the whole stage while Hinault belted out the punishment
to the tune of 53x13t - the largest gear on his bike. Roche told how he couldn't believe
that Hinault didn't shift out of this mammoth gear for the entire race!

This type of psychological tactic was part of The Badger's strategy. He could
put the fear of God into anyone who tried to rock the boat - in other words, he let his
legs do the talking. Race after race Hinault would strike with such force that any rider
with hopes of victory would have to be on the very best form to even compete with
this great champion. There weren't many riders who could hope to give Hinault a hard time
in any sort of race, whether it be over cobbles, the Classic races, the time trial or the Alps.
Those men were made of similar stuff, that is to say, they had the strength, courage
and the will to take on Le Blaireau and beat him at his own game. The few riders capable
of this are listed on the following pages."

"Hinault was considered a boss of the peloton or "le Patron". He was prominent in a riders' strike at Valence d'Agen in the 1978 Tour de France to protest against split stages, in which the riders had to ride a stage in the morning and another in the afternoon. He also imposed discipline and often cooperation among riders, once decreeing that "there will be no attacks today because tomorrow's stage will be difficult". He was respected by riders but feared by many for his temperament. If he felt slighted by another rider he would not hesitate to use his great strength to humiliate the offender. To the public, Hinault was often seen as arrogant, remote and frustratingly shy of publicity. When an interviewer suggested he devote more attention to fans, Hinault replied, "I race to win, not to please people"."

robHATE interview

how has it been moving from the cider capital of the world, hereford to the big smoke?
In Hereford i was in the ultimate comfort zone, i lived at home, had my dinner on the table ever night, i knew all the roads like the back of my hand, there was no way i could ever get lost, and my local pub sold the best cider in the world, for the best prices in the world.
London is the complete opposite, i never know where i am or where my foods coming from, As for the alcohol, i've had to upgrade to drinking super Strongbow, purely for economic reasons, if you haven't had it, your missing out, the shop near mine does a 6 for £5 deal, 6 of those bad boys and your guaranteed to have a good night, especially if Benson's with you.

who do you live with right now and whats your house like?
I'm living with Mike Mills, of Hate House and Cambridge fame, We've got a 2 bedroom ground-floor apartment in a pretty nice area. Marv lives down the road about 10 mins, so everything's good

This car is always parked outside my house, and this taxidermy shop is up the road, they sell giraffes heads including the neck for gods sake.

what are the hottest spots in london to party at?
There are so many good places to go out, its really strange i'm not used to having options, in hereford there's manhattans and sheffield there was corp. All in all, i usually stay local to the east, so i can make a quick get away (aka do a sellers) and walk home whenever i need too. I still fear the lone night bus.

One place i do recommend is this place called the aquarium, its a nightclub with a swimming pool, no shit, you can actually just go for a swim during the night out. I was told no diving on the way in, so i dropped a mean penguin in homage to mossy, and got kicked out, i pointed to the sign as i got dragged out and shouted " i didn't have my arms out, it wasn't a dive". As a dirty protest Benson jumped in fully clothed.

when we were travelling around europe i heard about your weetabix addiction. how did this come about?
At peak Weetmania, i would eat a 24 box a day, thats 3 bowls of 8, and that would be everyday. I probably have the healthiest bowels in the world right now. From the age of 5 to about 8, my mum would ask me what i wanted for my birthday, i would always answer, "i want to go to the Weetabix factory!", in my child's mind i must have pictured a magical Willy Wonka style factory with mountains of Weetabix with sugary summits and milky rivers. Needless to say i never visited the factory.

For my 18th birthday my Mum wrote the good people at Weetabix a letter, asking for a visit to the factory, they declined and i ended up with the certificate stating i had honorary membership to the Weetabix eaters club for my devotion to breakfast.

who else has one of these? Exactly.

whats happening with hate at the minute?
Well Hates always in a constant state of HATE HIATUS. I'm always thinking of shirt ideas and ideas for videos, but i just don't get around to doing them. I have so many random shirt designs and ideas floating around both my and my computers brains.

I actually have a shirt at the printers at the moment, so look out for that dropping within the next week. Also i have my first ever sticker dropping too, i am soooo excited, everyone loves stickers, right?

http://hate.bigcartel.com

tell us about your honda cub?
Well, i was thinking, if i am going to be moving to london, i'm gunna be needing some transport, so i looked on Ebay for motorbikes , and i spot a Honda C90 1988, I pretty much instantly fell in love. I'd never really paid any interest in motorbikes before, so i did my research, watched the below video, and ended up winning the little guy for £128.40. BARGIN!!! Its currently in my shed in Hereford the mission of riding it the 140 miles to london still lays ahead of me. If Jerseys reading this he is probably pissing his pants laughing. Pedal and Pop.

do you miss not being out on the open road in a transit van?
Best trip of my life!! we should do another one this year.

Das postman delivered some stickers today. What a guy! 250 of the finest vinyl stickers all the way from the biggest little city in the world reno nevada. Soon to be pasted all over the city.
If you want 1 come and see me. Or if you want one and cant see me try something like a SAE with a swap in it. Swap whatever you like, another sticker thats half decent, mix tapes, stories, photos, any old shit, use your imagination. If you aint got shit to swap just send us some money, that would work as well. lets say 50p a pop. Im betting the swap makes more sense now.
drop a line to c4tini@yahoo.com if your interested.

Chronic-le

2008-03-31T23:15:00.005+01:00

Chronic-elllllllll!!! Turns out this actually got printed in Saturdays chronicle? Check the comments on the Gazza getting a bike story. Fucking amazing! Heard it here first!

GAZZA joins Chain Gang
TROUBLED Paul Gascoigne is hoping to ride his way back to fitness.

Gazza, 40, stunned staff at a Newcastle bike shop when he called in to buy a racer.

The former footballer, from Dunston, is recovering from a mental breakdown with his family after being released from a psychiatric hospital.

He called into Denton Cycles, on Scotswood Road, Newcastle, on Wednesday.

Owner Phil Storey said: “We were a bit surprised to say the least.

“His dad came in first, to check it was ok and then Gazza came in.

“He was really nice. He’s a really decent lad and he shook everybody’s hand and said good morning to all the staff.

“He said he was wanted to get back some conditioning. Then he had a look around and got some clothing and bought a road bike.

“He didn’t say a great deal really, apart from that he wanted to get fit and that he thought it was a really nice bike. He was just a smashing down-to-earth lad.”

The star was arrested and detained under the Mental Health Act after being thrown out of the Malmaison Hotel on Newcastle’s Quayside last month.

It was reported he had been walking around naked, eating slabs of raw liver and talking to plastic parrots.

Friends and former colleagues from the sporting world rallied round as Gazza was admitted to Middleton St George Hospital in Darlington.

Among those offering support were former England teammates Gary Lineker and Peter Shilton and ex-boss Sir Bobby Robson.

Gazza’s best friend Jimmy “Five Bellies” Gardner said at the time: “I visited him every day to try to cheer him up. But he rarely laughed or smiled and refused to leave the room.

“I want the FA to help Paul find a job in the sport. He’s done so much for England he deserves a chance.”

Your fired!

I have always thought a thief or a couple of hoodies would have made great contestants on the apprentice. Alan gives the teams a hundred quid to buy some stock and make some profit. The business toffs are busy arguing about team names, strategy and where to sell their cashmere sweaters. The radgies have already bought 150 pills of bent mickie and are selling them down soho a fiver a pop. With the profits they cut a key of coke with some baking powder and triple their moneys. Alan is impresed but is pressured by the BBC to give the hoodies the sack and names Raif as his right hand man.
Street thief is a film about a business man who Alan Sugar would love. He goes by the name of Kasparr Car and his business is robbing cold hard cash. The film is a shot in a documentary style and follows Kasparr's routines when it comes down to his burglarization of various supermarkets, clubs and cinemas. There are many cool techniques and robbing montages which are probably based on fact. You find yourself asking the question is this real throughout viewing. Why would a thief let a camera crew follow him? How come all the dialogue is so clean and flowing? Is it a script? How come this, how come that. I'm a natural sceptic (I dont believe Grizzly man is genuine for 1 second. B movie horror flick grade Dr's, no actual footage of bear death scene, the classic we have the sound track of the bear kiling him. Bull shit. your a fraud living the high life on the royalties of your marketing scam) and I hoped this film was a genuine documentary of a thief but Im sad to say it isnt. Below is a passage i stole of some other dudes blog,

".....And then the film-makers came out for the Q&A. As the first questioner asked, "where did you find that guy? [the burglar] and why do you look just like him?"...and he answered, "because, uh...I played him." He went on to say that all the burglaries in the film are based on real burglaries, but that Karr wasn't a real person, and that the documentarians in the movie were actors too. However, Bader insisted that since they created the crimes based on stories that real criminals had told them, that indeed it was true."

Its one of those films that is based on fact and techniques which have probably been used by genuine thieves but its all actors. I guess you have to avoid dropping yourself in it but come on, have you never heard of the costa del crime. Make a genuine movie and then retire to the beach a rich man. Either way I still love this film but I have probably spoiled it for you all by now. Just like I wish i could have gone to see Predator without knowing it had aliens in it. I have never heard of the film before. I miss the first 30 seconds of it as well so I dont see the spaceship crash to earth. I'd be expesting a cookie cutter arnie army action film and then BAMMM! Out of no where an alien pops up and turns the whole film on its arse. What a dream. The impossible dream.

Gazza buys a bike?

2008-03-26T22:50:00.004Z

Word on the street is that Paul Gascoigne has just bought a road bike from Dentons. Fresh out the nut house hes now on the streets of Newcastle on a bike trying to get himself back on the straight and narrow. Lets see if the papers run with this? A few months ago he 'apparantly' got himself put into a mental hospital for acting up in a hotel. I read the newspaper reports which damned him as a mentalist but in reality it didnt seem to do anything 'mental'. He was on a bender, sure, but he's Gazza he can do that, he owns this town. He was reported to be eating raw liver, talking to a toy parrot, trying to get hotel porters to play him on his wii, exposing himself, playing some tricks etc etc. Thats just Gazza and thats why i love him. Hopefully we will all be seeing Gazza and 5 belly's Gardner (8 pints of snake over a quiet lunch with his mrs resulting in a driving ban) real soon the next time they are out on their bikes. Just a couple of geordie boys on an adventure.

Bluelines Taxis

2008-03-20T22:30:00.005Z

Riding home the other day minding my own business and the next thing i know ive got a green mondeo up me arse honking his horn. At first glance I thought it must be the polis due to the full backseat and a neck at the wheel but no it was blue line taxis trying to ram me off a deserted road. After give him the v's he takes over and speeds off. With a rage building inside me I tear after him up a hill and catch up with the bastard at the lights. I knock on his window and we have a brieft talk. It went along the lines of:
"Whats your fucking problem"
"STAY OFF THE ROAD!"
"You had an empty lane to go by me"
"DO YEE WANT KNOCKING OUT LIKE!"
"Whatever"
Then the cunt tries to ram me with his car. So I do the classic bike vs motorist equalizer and hock a greeny on his window. Not too happy a brief chase ensues in a garage forecourt. The bike out manouvers the Mondeo with the greatest of ease. Victory to the cyclists! But if i ever see the bastard again his car is getting keyed and a peg or boot may make contact with his body panels or light array. The car is a H reg blueline taxis greenish ford mondeo. Any retribution appreciated!

Cyclists Vs Cars is an age old battle that is waged daily. While drivers are cocooned in their nice safe cars cyclists are usually in the gutter in a bloody heap. Sooner or later your gonna have to get wild in order to educate those animals. If it was just a minor incident the V's or the bird will do followed by a bit of verbal. If its more serious then hocking a loogie is a great way to get your point across and the ultimate insult. Passenger windows or through an open window works best, somewhere they cant clean with the wipers. A boot to a door panel is another classic. Your going to have to have your run out planned on that one though, just incase they cut you off when you try to ride by after the hit. If your running pegs its even better, drop a gouger into the metallic paint. Hitting them in the wallet is the only language they understand. Taking lights out is a sure fire wallet hitter. If your after an ender, Sucker punch through an open window, steal the keys, launch them down a drain, ride off in a blaze of glory.

Where on earth is Stve Kinghan?

2008-03-13T20:25:00.006Z

everyones been wondering what Steve of DFTU fame has been up to since he stopped riding. Him and his brother used to be kingpins of the scene and then both kinda quit and got into Gordon Ghekko style big business in London. Well he said he stopped riding but I dont believe anyone when they say they have stoppped. I bet Dan Price and Andrew Faris still ride all the time. So the last time I heard what Steve was doing was when someone saw him in a travel lodge and he was headhunting a client for some mega business. He had a picture of his Bianchi on fixed gear gallery, then nothing. I hadn't heard anything from him in ages and i get this e mail.

Turns out he's started some kind of Mixed Martial Arts training and pounds protein shakes. He started up this blog as well paydaybitches. I'm kind of into it! If you actually have quit BMX, fighting is a good replacement activity, doing both would still be better though. Lets say in an MMA fight they just drop in a Shaolin monk against whoever the champion is right now, who would win? Lets say Bruce Lee was still alive, would he be the champion? Or they stick Bronson in for a scrap, he must be able to punch above his weight. We'll probably never know the answers, Steve could be the next big thing? I wouldn't mind seeing an ultimate fighting spin off where all the fighters are in jail and they fight for freedom. A little like Running man?

Kind of still on a weight training theme ratty gave me this link which i liked alot. Its about this dude who used to be a body builder and drive a truck and now he is an old weird man. Its great. Uncle Dirty

The tomorrow we work prem just happend in Sheffield. It was worth the 260 mile round trip in a sub 1 litre suzuki swift which wont go up hills with a full back seat. First things first, spyed cookie and ruperto's graf art star and shadow thing and then the OK diner was sessioned mid A19. Coffee refll all the way burger, Seabass picked up the tab. Got into Shef. Benson has met Jeremy Beadles daughter. The video is a right touch from what i remember especially the riley/beats/mossy/roberts mix section. The valve sound system team 2 street and melon trailers were another highlight. The club was packed to the rafters with every BMX3r in the land. Legends such as jeff bebb, campo and BEZ. Boxing booth battle, JoshB 900 megaton punch. Ended up staying in plug for 8 hours. Kebabish for some eating and verbal. Missed out on Amir's, gutted, best kebab in the world! Slept in a corridor like a baby. Merkle Wayne. Climbed the southern face of Waitrose. Drove home via finding a dildo in a lyby? Had a lethal time, buy the dvd. thanks to everyone that put a roof over my head, chips in my belly or a drink in my hand. Ratty will probably have better flicks?????

Desperado

2008-03-02T10:51:00.001Z

DESPERADO is the greatest beer in the world. The only beer officially endorsed by the shithawks blog. Apparantly Desperado means desperate in Spanish or it means a person who cannot wait for something to happen, and sometimes may recurr to violent or reckless actions. You also get to see Salma Hayeks knockers in the film of the same name.
Adding lime to your lager and your not a lass would probably get your head stoved in. But somehow Desperado can get away with bordering on an alcoPop and still remain awesome. Its flavoured with tequila so it probably doesnt even have tequila in it but it still clocks in at an impressive 5.9% on the richter scale. So it outdoes even the mighty LCL for kick. It must be its euro style that lets this happen. Reminding people of good times in the sun and getting pised. Oh yeah, its not remotely Mexican or even Spanish either, its brewed in France! You've got to love those French! Finding a cheap source if Desperado is another challenge. Its got so much going against it yet it still remains the greatest beer ever. I love it! You'll love. We all love it.

Short Sharp Shock

2008-02-25T10:23:00.005Z

Short Sharp Shock were playing at the Carling Acadamy as support for Gallows. Im not into Gallows but i thought I'd get a ticket anyway just to see SSS. So I got jipped out of £13. Doors opened at 6 and we turned up at about 6.30. Low and behold we missed SSS. I should have guessed the geniuses at Carling would put the best band on first. Plus it was half term or whatever and the Gallows were playing so it was full of young uns who dont have to finish work at half 5, try and get pissed and then mooch into town. Gutted! It was £3.15 for a pint of watered down Carling so it was time to see if the old tricks still worked. Luckily for us they did and we managed to rob 7 bottles of the shittiest alco pop ever. Still it was free and it felt like I was recouping some of my ticket price. The rest of the bands I wasnt into either. After a few close run ins with the man I finally got booted out for robbing drinks. After the boot I drank myself into a stupa. Great night!
If anyone is interested SSS will be playing somewhere decent in the Newcastle area in June or something like that?

Ricky vs the shoe tree

2008-02-21T20:11:00.005Z

You own more shoes than a mother fucker. How many have you got? At present count I have about 50 pairs on the go. Hopefully a couple more to go as I’m off to NYC in 3 weeks.

How many are the same shoe? I have quite a few duplicates? I bought about 4 pairs of Vans Era’s from Topman when they were selling them off cheap (guess they weren’t trendy enough for Topman’s typical consumer!) and I have a couple of pairs of Nike Vengence in different colourways.

How many havn’t you worn yet? Do you lick the soles? I presently have about 3 pairs that are still to venture outside the house. I don’t lick the soles but I could eat my dinner off some of them !

I know you prefer to buy cheap, i have alot of respect for this. any mug with a big wedge can buy cool trainers full price. you tend to favour hunting around tk maxx and factory outlets so it takes a bit more dedication and i dare say trainer knowledge. so what is the rrp of all your trainers VS the price you paid for them? I’m a Yorkshireman at heart so I like to get myself a bargain. TK Maxx has fallen out of favour with me recently and places like the Nike Factory outlets that we’re blessed with in the NE have taken over as my No1 shoes buying destination. As a rough estimation I reckon that my collection has cost me £500-600 and RRP would roughly be about £1500.

Best ever shoe you’ve found in tk maxx. Probably either a pair of Reebok Tennis Shoes or a Pari of Macbeth pumps purely on a price basis. The Reeboks were a tenner and the Macbeths were £4 – not bad for a 30quid pair of shoes. Also I got good deals on both my pairs of Vengences when they were still being sold in other shops for treble the price.

Ages ago they had millions of the nike considered stuff. the shoes were heinous but i did like looking at them. Yeah, I love the idea behind the Considered stuff but unfortunately the shoes aren’t my cuppa tea !

You ever thrown a set in the shoe tree? I’ve yet to sacrifice a set to the famous shoe tree but I feel that this summer will be the time to break my cherry.

Favourite shoe you own and why? My favourite shoes change constantly but consistently I’m feeling my first pair of Air Max 1’s (Skull Series), my Nike Classic SB’s and most old school Vans. I do like my retro stuff and all of these fit into a similar category.

Any regrets? ever bought a pair of howlers and realised when you got them home that they are shit. then you went to great lengths to hide them in case any other trainer fan saw it in your collection?Not really. I bought a pair of Nike Air Force 1 high tops that I’ve never worn outside as I can’t get over their ‘Platform’ soles. I also bought a pair of Vans Chukka boots from Rollersnakes which I love the look of, but they feel wayyyy to big so I’ve only worn them once.

Favourite brand? and why... Although it weighs heavy on my conscience, its gotta be Nike. A good balance of new and retro styled stuff with a sneak for every occasion.

Whats on your want list right now? My list of shoes I want is like the list of cars that I want, it gets bigger everyday. On my list of shoes to seek out in New York are Air Max 90’s in the O.G. Infa-red colourway, Vans Half-Cabs and a pair of Dunk SB Mid-tops in a fresh colourway.

Best shoe ever made? and why....... I’d probably have to say Nike Dunks. They’re a great shoe in the fact that you can ride in them, play basketball in them, skate in them, dress them up, dress them down. They have a massive variety of colourways so there’s something for everyone. They’re just mega versatile and show no signs of disappearing.

Most under rated shoe ever? and why... Can’t think of a really under-rated shoe but if those Reebok Classic Tennis shoes that I bought from TK Maxx hadn’t been so cheap, I never would have given them a second glance. They’re flat-soled, grippy, good for riding in, have a bit of padding and look pretty cool. What more could you want.

How does your fashion course tie in with loving trainers and nike anoraks so much? It doesn’t except it might give me the opportunity to do some decent shoe-based work experience and it’s a great excuse to feed to my mum when she complains that I spend to much on stuff that I don’t need ! I can’t go to college looking like a hobo !

If someone stepped on a brand new white set of shoes and you were a little tipsy how would you react? would you be brought to blows. It wouldn’t happen in the first place as I make a rule of never wearing a pair of shoes on a night out until they’ve been worn in a little first. I also tread carefully !

Ever jacked a kid for his shoes? No but I might if they were a pair of MF Doom Dunks or Pigeons !

What are your ambitions for your Shoe Life? I’d love to get to the point where I had a different pair of shoes for everyday of the year and a walk-in wardrobe to house them in. If at all possible, I would love to be a product tester for someone like Nike or Soletech! That would pretty much be a dream job!
Cheers for the interview. Hopefully speak to you again when I reach the 100 mark!

Come the spring the Trinity Centre carpark is getting demolished to make way for another Tesco. Ive heard its coming down in March? Ive also heard a ton of other dates from various places. Who knows when the last session will be there? All I do know is its going to be gone before we know it so your going to have to make the last sessions count. Another street spot lost. Its been a dream of mine to get to the top floor and have a poke about. The top floor has been off limits for years so most of my time has been spent sessioning the various flatbanks and interesting bins that the place offers. Ive probably had as much fun exploring the place as I have had riding it. The cafe on the roof which looks like a James Bond Villains lair has always intrigued me. Unless they open it up one last time its going to be hard to ever get to have a deex around. Apart from amybe parachuting in? Even when it does go at least it will still be remembered from the footage from various riding and skating photos.
There has been alot said about the politics involved with this place coming down. One of the last examples of a brutalist classic piece of architecture(search brutalism on google and you get some wild shit!). Which like it or not was popular in the 60's. It was in get Carter. Its a lethal street spot. All these points mean it should stay put. Save the demolition budget and give it a lick of paint and a bit of tarting up. Get the Cafe up and running as a night club on the top floor and youd have a license to print money.
The only argument for it going is that Tesco want to make a new shop and some people think it makes Gateshead look shit. Tesco can go fuck themselves for all I care. It just makes me hate them even more and it makes shop lifting from more ethical. Tesco have never made a classic street spot. Owen Luder has. Poured concrete from 1960 is always better than the crap they build these days. Shitty fucking sandstone, cut glass and skate stoppers. FUCK TESCO. There has even been claims that it is unsafe and falling down. This is a backhander speaking through the mouth of a bent engineer. FUCK TESCO. If they want a new shop demolish the one that is already there and re build it. Dont fuck with the coolest thing Gateshead has got going for it. Some people think it makes Gateshead look shit. The fact of the matter is that Gateshead will always be a shit tip. Lets just leave it at that. Gateshead is one of those special places that people have stopped caring about thus making it into a street mecca of sorts. The sage and Baltic dont even count as Gateshead. They live off the map in some mythical keyside realm which blatantly belongs to Newcastle. Ever noticed how the sage blots out the get carter car park from the keyside?

Plakka Tom threw a lethal party. To save our beer we all drew a portrait of him so we didnt have to buy him anything. Its the thought that counts?

The wasteland is looking good. over ice 1 time wall to bank has already been made. The lethal hip is coming on strong. Alot of sweeping. A bit of digging. The bucket crew aren't happy though cos we buried their sweeeeet bucket.

the BERINGER interview!!

2008-02-11T10:38:00.001Z

While Matt was sending the flip on the foot high kicker he thought of all the answers for this interview. Thanks Matt.

are there still parts of utah which music is banned just like in the film footloose? can you dance like kevin bacon???
I don't think so but I know there are a lot of movies that don't make it to Utah. Can I dance like Kevin Bacon? I might think so if I'm drunk.

is area 51 real? any sories about it?
I heard it's down in southern Utah and they have some airstrip that's like ten miles long. My Dad has a good UFO story, he used to be a cop. He said that a whole bunch of people called it in, a big craft with lights in the sky that made no noise. He said it was just hovering up in the sky, then it went about 30 miles away real quick, then back. Then it just disappeared, I believe him, it's my Dad.

how does being a dry state work?
Utah isn't really a dry state, there are just a bunch of stupid rules when it comes to buying alcahol. The beer you can but at the grocery store or gas station only has 3.2 percent alcohol instead of 5. You can only buy beer at the store untill 1:00 am. Last call at bars is 1:00 am. you can buy real beer and liquor at the liquor store but they don't have a fridge, and they close at 10 pm. If you go to a resteraunt you have to order a meal if you want to get a beer. Any bar is considered a "private club" so you have to be with someone who has a membership, which is about 15 dollars for a year, or buy a temporary membership which is about 6 dollars. People always bitch about the funny laws about drinking here but I'm used to it. I still manage to get drunk. I just get drunk a lot faster when I go out of town so I have to know how to pace myself or I end up puking in the gutter.

do you ever go to the salt flats and attempt a land speed record. is this a typical utah past time. have you ever raced mike aitken for pinks?
It takes about 2 hours to get out there from here and they only race at a certain time of the year. I've never been out there when they've been racing. Mike's been restoring his Trans Am for a couple years now, it's almost done. It's sick but his regular little car would kick my cars ass.

what car do you drive?
I drive a 1996 two wheel drive Jeep Cherokee. Actually I've been driving my sisters little Nissan for the last three weeks because the heater went out and the radiator hose keeps popping off leaving me stuck on the side of the road in the freezing cold.

would you recommend utah as a holiday destination?
For sure. Late Spring or early Fall are perfect. There are the best bike friendly concrete parks in the world in my opinion. Awesome street and trails too. Winter is freezing cold with snow and summer is hot as hell so you'd have to time it right. I love it here, I'll never move.

james newrick, uk s and m rider asks, on a recent video part your intro is shouting moose and drinking a beer. i assume this is some sort of drinking game. how do you play it?
When playing Moose you need an ice cube tray, a 1 cup measuring cup, a coin, and a bunch of beer. You fill the cup with beer and put it behind the ice tray. Everyone sits around a table with a beer in hand. You bounce the coin off the table and try to get it into the cup of beer or the ice tray. If you make it into the cup you can make anyone in the circle drink the cup. If you make it into one of the last two slots of the ice tray, everyone in the circle has to shout "Moose" and put their hands up to their head like antlers. The last person to do this has to drink the cup. If you don't get your hands up like antlers and say "moose" you have to drink the cup. False moose means you have to drink the cup (if you think it was a moose and it wasn't). If you make it into any of the ice tray slots on the right (besides the last one) you can make anyone in the circle take that many gulps of beer (one being the first slot, seven being the second to last). You can divide the gulps up between people too. If you make the cup, "moose", or any of the right side you get to go again. If you make it into any of the first seven on the left side you have to take that many gulps yourself and your turn is over. If you miss everything your turn is over. If the coin happens to land on the part in the middle it's called a social and everyone at the table cheers each other and drinks.
Damn, that's kind of complicated to explain, I'm sending a picture too but I'm sick so I don't have any beer or anyone to play moose with right now so you'll just have to imagine there are no ice cubes in the tray and the cup is full of your favorite cheap beer.

the beginning was an awesome video. whats panty boy up to now? and tell us the craic about that huge swimming pool jump thing.
The last time I saw Pantyboy was a couple months ago at a party at Mike Aitkens house. He was pretty drunk and said a bunch of really funny stuff. I wish I could see him more but he got a real job and a serious girlfriend. I'm going to make him ride more this year though.

That swimming pool jump is up by Park City. The arial skiers use it to train in the summer. I don't know how it got lined up but they used to call us to come jump a couple times in this show they put on. The lip is six feet tall and the bottom of the lip is about six feet above the water. So when you take off you're leaving from 12 feet above the water. The hill you go down is about 60 feet long with about 15 feet of flat before the lip. The whole run is next to the bristles that the skiers go on so you have about one foot wide wet plywood the whole way to more air than you've ever imagined having in your life. The pool you land in has a compressor system that shoots a bunch of air through tubes on the bottom of the tube, so when you land you don't have that harsh slap. It's been a couple years since we've been able to do that. I want to go back with Nastazio and see what he would do.

john stockton or karl malone?
I can't watch basketball, I think they need to raise the hoop at least a foot.

whats your favourite metal band
Portals!

it seems like you can shred any device you get on be it BMX, 16 inch bmx, snow bike or skateboard. what mental/physical attribute gives you this ability? are there any obscure sports that you are great at or partake in as well?
I guess I just get interested in weard or funny stuff sometimes and take it too far. It's all about just going for what you want to do.
I guess I'm pretty good at extreme garage R.C. car.

you kind of remind me of tackleberry from police acadamy. why?
Because my Dad used to be a cop, I guess I got it from him.

do you have a dog?
No, my roommate has a pretty cool cat though.

i saw your motorbike on myspace, are you part of a biker gang? do you think bmx should be more motorbiking than skateboarding.
I saw that chopper when I was out in California and took a picture, I'm a myspace poser!

how many fights have you won and lost
I used to get in fights a bunch when I was little, I remember throwing sand in some kids face at the playground and then punching him a bunch. Besides that I gut sucker punched by a cowboy in highschool and me and Elf got beat up by a bunch of pimps in Toronto, but that's another long story.

i read in an interview in thrasher that the board buys the car and the shoe buys the house. maybe this quote isnt the same in the bmx industry.your names on a few things: a shoe, a frame, a bar and grips etc. what did the shoe, the frame, the bar and the grips buy?
I don't have a signature frame anymore but if it wasn't for S&M and roomates, I wouldn't be in this house. I guess the bar and bar ends help me at the bar. The grips buy me coffee (but they wouldn't support addicts like some people I know). And I'm still waiting on the shoe to pay off.

got any rad stunts in the new odyssey video when it come out?//?
I'm completely happy with my part, I think I came up with a couple good things.

what is the best trick you have ever done?
Maybe hop to trampoline to front flip.

what is the thing you are most proud of that you have fabricated yourself?
My Skibike.

what is your favourite movie?
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

tell us some random beringer facts..
I was in marching band for a year in high school. I played Alto Sax from 7th to 11th grade. I still play sometimes with some of my friends when they jam.

your backyard is something else. waterslides, roof drops and trampolines must make for some crazy shit. what is the craziest thing to ever go down in you back yard that hasn't been caught on video.?
Brian Foster dropped off the roof into one side of the mini and jumped back up onto the roof on the other side, he put his foot down but who cares. It was the ultimate line possible here.

where the hell do you get a waterslide from?
Cameron Wood's uncle owns this place called Classic Fun Center. There are about 3 or 4 of these places, they have rollerskating and waterslides. The one that's about 75 miles from here had a fire about 5 years ago, they were going to demolish the rest of the slides so we had 4 days to take what was still good. It was so much work and the trailer we used to haul all the stuff to my house with didn't have brake lights or turn signals. It took about 3 weeks to figure out how to set everything up. We still have 7 turn pieces and one straight piece left.

whats your weirdest collection.
I have every wrist band from any contest I've ever been in.

what happens in your average daily life?
I think the most consistant thing now is checking my e-mail now that I'm the S&M T.M.. Other than that my life is pretty random, it depends what time of the year it is too. I never go to bed or wake up at a certain time unless I have too. Sometimes I drink down in S.L.C and can't drive home. Right now it's winter so I play Guitar Hero too much.
Spring will be here soon and there will be plenty of digging to do and ramps to work on.

got any secrets to share?
What happens in Amsterdam stays in Amsterdam. Ha!

once i saw you sitting on a wall eating a slice of pizza in hastings. when you coming back to england?
I'd love to make it over in 08', I don't know if it will happen or not. Any chance I get I'll be there, I always have a blast.

Wasted

2008-02-05T14:25:00.001Z

The Shithawk HQ now has its own internet connection and is no longer stealing it from next door. This should mean the updates are more regular, hopefully?
Wastelands are always good to ride. Newcastles wasteland has had a lick of paint on a couple of the ledges and plans are afoot to get it back being good. It needs alot of sweeping and with a little shovel action we could have a dirt 1/4, dirt flat bank and a higher ledge. A huge crew digging/brush session is needed.
Queens bank has another piece of fence out?

RIP Lord of Harpole

2008-01-21T21:13:00.001Z

Jim with the Lord.

On Newricks birthday a crew went down to the Rupauli for the £3.50 curry. Curry, naan and rice for less than it costs for most magazines, amazing! The beers were flowing. A rival table of birthday boys was sitting opposite. The Lord declared there could be only one and forced the birthday boys to arm wrestle. Obviously Jims arms have a freakish strength due to the bunnyhop and he wiped the floor with the sports metaller. The above photo is in the Lords personal hall of fame due to Jim being such a good customer.

The Lord of Harpole tragically died recently. Newcastle has lost one of its greatest celebrities and business men the likes of which we are never to see again. A self appointed Lord who owned the curry establishment the Curry Capital (AKA the Rupauli) which served the worlds hottest curry, Guiness world record. Responsible for the world record distance takeaway delivery. Viz legend.
We have all had some great times in the Rupauli. We will all miss you Lord thanks for the memories!

KEEGAN'S BACK

2008-01-19T16:45:00.001Z

KEEGAN'S back in the toon. There is a buzz on the streets. His first match in charge kicks off in a short while. Looks like KEEGAN'S return has got everyone sentimental. Queens Banks the one time hub of the Newcastle riding scene has been partially reclaimed from the man. The spot was cruelly shut down when a fence post was erected. The all day Queen's Banks sessions might make a come back along with Newcastle almost winning the league?

GONZ - props 16 interview!!!

2008-01-14T17:29:00.001Z

"Once I had a dream about Dave Freimuth. On a horse with long hair. Beautiful. Beautiful flowing hair. Very Beautiful. We rode into the sunset and hitched a ride on a horse trailer. We got jobs as butchers making ground beef. We decided to wear wife beaters and made a pink and yellow pinjata. I went to whack it but I missed and hit Dave right in the teeth. But he didn't want to cut his hair at the time. But Dave had beautiful hair."

How to get in for free

2008-01-14T02:58:00.001Z

Everyone likes getting something for nothing and no one likes paying to get into a club. By not paying to get into the club you kill both birds with one stone. You also get a bit extra beer money in your pocket that can be spent on drinking if you dont fancy minesweeping. Plus paying into a club which turns out to be shit is a right kick in the balls. If you dont pay you are pretty much guaranteed a good night because of the buzz you will be on from getting away with getting in for free. That buzz probably wont last forever unless you take a couple of gary's so if the night does infact turn out shit you wont be arsed because you didnt even pay in the first place. In this day and age there seems to be less and less ways to fight the man. All clubs are run by seedy greasy coked up bastards who drive supercharged Range Rover sports and will probably have a bluetooth headset and Armani sunglasses. Dont feel bad about ripping these people off, the night club owner definetly is the man. The bouncer (sorry, the entry exit technician) is also the man. FIGHT THEM BOTH!

Smoking ban
"The smoking ban was the best thing to ever happen!" Mr R.P Smith, lover of getting stuff for free
One of the best things Brussels has done for us in England is introduce the smoking ban. So now no one can smoke inside a club, boo hoo. Or is it all boo hoo? No it is actually the easiest way to get into a club for free. The smokers congregated outside the entrance are your ticket to the free disco dance floor. Observe, Communicate, Enter. Check out where the entrance is, where the bouncers are, look for what kind of stamp people have on their hands. Befriend a smoker and ask to see the hand markings that the bouncers have dished out. If the stamp is fresh lick it and press it against you hand to try and get a print. This doesn't often work but give it a shot, you might convince a lady to let you lick her so either way your on a winner. You are now at a cross roads, the either attempt to forge the stamp or just try and shadow some genuine customers in or better yet do both. The stamp forgery route is always alot of fun. If you are prepared you might have some kind of marker pen in your pocket. If you are un prepared you will have to borrow some ladies make up devices such as eyebrow pencils and mascara to do the forgery. Copy the forgery as well as you can. For circles the use of coins to trace around is a good tip. If the forgery is to the standard of Degar himself then go try and get in. If the forgery is shite just smudge it a bit and prepare to blag it a little with the bouncer if he doesnt like the look of it. Sometimes its actually more fun to try and see who can get in with the worst forgery. Latch yourself onto the biggest group of pretty girls you can and act like you own the place and swan in waving your hand at the bouncer just enough to let him think your genuine but not enough for him to see its a fake.
Lets say the club you are going to is acually a big party for the end of the world series of skating or similar? The tickets were meant to cost 25 euros but if you had a vip band you got in for free and got all kinds of priviledges like free drink and bunny girls. In a dark club a pretty crap forged band can usually get you in no questions asked. Find someone with the correct colour band and your half way there. All you need now is a bit of photoshop, maybe a scanner, a printer, some stickyback plastic and alot of cunning.
Lets try this scenario out. Your at a redbull contest and the riders get a host of treats later that night. Free bar, free food and all the women they can handle. You want a piece of the action but lack the correct pass. For some reason there was some exact copies of the passes pinned on the security guards wall to show them what the passes looked like. If a certain someone were to liberate these examples and use them as if they were real passes would that be such a crime? No, of course not.

Mascarar forgery

Jedi Mindtrick
"These are not the droids you are looking for"
When going to enter the disco door infront of the bouners just pretend that you belong inside. The bouncer can smell fear so make sure you are 100% confident. A couple of well placed phrases can often baffle a bouncer. Saying something along the lines of "busy in here isn't it mate" or "wicked night tonight isnt it reggie" will make the man think that you have already been in and paid the toll. Stubbing out a cigarette in plain view of the bouncer is another sure fire winner. As is being on a phone. As is the drunken stance but dont over do it or you'll be out.

Nokatomi plaza entrance/Kicking the backdoors through
A little knowledge of a certain venue often goes a long way. Especially if this building is a university building and turns into a party at the weekend. So your going to the cloakroom? You just happen to go through the wrong door and your down some steps and then through another door and bobs your uncle onto the dance floor. There might even be a few vending machines that you can rag to fuck and steal all the precious sweets. Dont be greedy though, give the sweets out to everyone. Or maybe you walk in, go up a lift, the door opens right infront of a bouner, somehow you sneak into the toilet without him collaring you. Best ever is in a fire door, up some steps into a cloak room, blag your way out of there past the cloak room attendants and mission to the dance floor. happy days. If in doubt boot the backdoors through.

Guestlist shadow
Pretty tuff to pull but not impossible. Shadow a group of people who are in the express VIP line to get in. Simply latch onto them and fire the same name they say when the bouncer asks. "I'm Micky's plus one"

Blag Blag Blag
I'm here to pick up the DJ, I am the DJ, I work here etc. make it up as you go along. Where there is a will there is a way

public house

2008-01-13T20:29:00.001Z

Going to the pub is great. A good crew was out sessioning the finest ales this country has to offer. Trent £1.70 doubles got the night off to a flyer and the club walk in was the icing on the cake. Full feature on free club entry techniques coming soon. Happy birthday Martin Cook. This a battle wound he picked up while in Malaga clocking some footage for the voices sequel. Jimmy Newrick was also there along with some Sheffield and London types. I heard they met Ruben who showed up in a British racing green Mini. Obviously a man of some class and taste. Jimmy has some digital photos which he might stick on here one day if we are lucky?

winter computer games

2008-01-10T17:59:00.001Z

Winter is also for computer games. I love this video! I think I might clock my dave mirra 2 section that never got put on the net. Its been to long since I played that last.

lets play darts

2008-01-09T16:09:00.001Z

So its still winter in the uk. The weather is shit so bike riding usually kind of takes a back seat to the classic pub sports such as darts and drinking. This years championship at Lakeside is on the BBC right now and everyone remembers how much they love to watch darts on TV. Every year I want to go but so far haven't. There is something about darts that is just so amazing and so British. Wrestling style entrances, mullets, 90s sportswear, ruff women, 9 dart legs, heavy drinking, chicken in a basket, the gold, the mc's, boxing style governing bodies, the nicknames and the players of epic proportions. Bobby George, Jockie Wilson, the Count, Wolfie are all heroes but no one that fitted the darts stereotype better than Andy "the Viking" Fordham. A true mountain of a man who would sink 20 bottles of beer before he even started to play. A salute to Andy "the Viking" Fordham. To be honest its a bit depressing hes not at the Lakeside this year due to ill health that took him out of the 2007 tournament. He looks a shadow of his former self being 10 stone lighter. Hopefully he will be back in 2009 however without that extra 10 stone he just wont be the same.

2008-01-07T17:06:00.001Z

The quest to get Steve and Tiffany's 98 Degrees Heat it Up video from the 2hip dvd bonus onto Bedroom TV goes on. Everyone watch the vid and vote for it. Hopefully it'll get some airplay on TV.

VOTE HERE 98 degrees - heat it up VOTE HERE

Its been quiet on this blog for a bit, too quiet but we have something in the works, I promise.........

2007-12-18T03:10:00.000Z

When did this bike happen? The Revenge Booze Cruz is amazing! I heard Cheech Marrin rides one. Or maybe Sean Mckinney is Cheech. Ganja grips and seat and it only costs £159. Its going to become a Radgee classic. The full sus cable pull disky is going to die a death on Shields road when the sweet kids see this.

steve sings

2007-12-11T20:11:00.000Z

Steve's kareoke project from the 2 hip DVD bonus. I uploaded this with the sole intention of trying to get it on bedroom tv. unfortunatly the site is down. If you have never watched bedroom tv its just a load of home made music videos. This would get on it easy. One of steve's greatest performances, second only to freddie mercury at halloween. oh yeah, the bootleg is kinda really bad quality, makes it more of a bootleg though. go buy the dvd or wait until its on bedroom tv.

big brother

2007-12-11T12:54:00.001Z

Big Brother was dope. Shame the plug got pulled my big Larry. Oh well, here are some of the best shit from their videos in my humble opinion. I'm actually buzzing i found the johnny lee countee section, too good. Look out for the hair metal denim guy taking his jacket off during a grind in the metal mom section too.

the Xmen

2007-12-10T15:51:00.001Z

This is taken from a documentary called the need for speed. Its about bike messangers in New York. It was shown on channel 2 years ago and by some miracle it got taped. Now its being unleashed onto the net. This xmen section. To me they are probably the best street riders in the world. Well in a shredding traffic way. full hockey body armour, hanging on to cars and popping mad wheelies is street as fuck. Shithawks first bootleg project complete. I highly recommend everyone trying to see the full thing but failing that try and get a copy of Pedal which came out not so long ago. A few of the characters even cross over the two projects.
Stay tuned for more classic sections that arent on the net yet. Waiting to be captured I have the metal mom section and LL Cool J section from big brother 3. Props 16 gonz interview is going up. Everyone seems to have forgotten how amazing it is. Mad euro shit like Imprudence. I even heard of an nsf remix?

2007-12-02T16:33:00.001Z
