Out-dated updates
Sorry for being so slack lately with the updates. It's the bloody credit crunch init. Here's some news
Here's a picture of Melcher's latest Dekline pro shoe. You should probably go get yourself a pair then you could maybe rip as hard as he does
Ahh look at these 2 lovely lads. This picture goes out to Jerome at shiner. Cates and Nicolson would like to remind him and the entire world that they both still ride for fury and they are the best trucks ever
Cates has been locked up in his secret bunker concocting some sort of new mega board
Hold tight Simon Woodstock
Sidewalk photographer gangster and all round good lad Chris Johnson has gone and gotten himself one of them sweet caughtinthecrossfire.com interviews. Check it out HERE
Thats all for now chaps. More coming soon, maybe

We mean you no farm
Rhys Grogan just got back into Sydney. He had to house sit his folks' farm for the first couple weeks so me and Richie thought we better go spend the night out in the country and have a laugh with one of our favourite humans.
Unfortunately Richie and Rhys don't really know how to operate SLR's so I was designated photog bitch. I was still psyched though.
Richie was so psyched when we arrived he broke out in dance with a dog.
This is where Rhys learnt to shred as a grom. A little make shift flat bar he had set up over grass right outside his front door.
Standard issue Grogan shred.
Standard issue Grogan shred.
After coming back from a few months stay in England, Rhys couldn't help but complaion about the size of Australian tinnies. He was still psyched though.
Bbq time.
Glad to have you back Rhys!
Thanks for cleaning up!

Highs and Lows in Belgium
Just exactly how many good times and bad times can be had in one weekend?
Horsey, Monk, Kyle Green, Tom Booze and myself went to see some bands play in Belgium a couple of weekends ago and didnt quite know what we were letting ourselves in for.
We saw some amazing bands play, met and hung out with some incredible people, and spent what felt like 24 hours of every single day laughing. Well, until the last day that is....
Kyle pre-nightmare ankle breaker
Mandatory ferry shots with traditional breakfast beer (Monk not pictured)
It seemed a good idea at the time...
After breaking into Joe Gray's house (his window was wide open) and playing an improvised gig in his studio, we met him for some classic Belgian style breakfast
Breakfast with Joe (note the self-induced, multi layered blue denim suit)
Wherever you go there always seems to be a Dibs look-a-like
At Joes house we found a dead mouse in the shower.....
A entire room filled with crucifixes....
...then Kyle rode a dog around the house like a horse
Monk and Dog
Kyle and Horsey
Belgian Buildings......exciting stuff
Some lady said we were disrespecting this War Memorial by skating it, I fully understand where she was coming from but I am convinced if they were all this skateable more youngsters would show an interest in the history behind it
I haven't got any skate photos so another awful moustache shot will have to do
As night fell the inevetable happened. Drinkers get your drink on, smokers get your smoke on
Wine helmet
Smokey Monk!
DJ Horsecock
When 12 midnight strikes its time to hit the punk rock bar - "Bar 219", which had live bands and everything!
Which way to Sexyland!?!
Fuck knows whats happening here
It all kinda gets blurry from here.....luckily
....we eventually found our way way home and passed out
DAY 2
What better way to sweat out a hangover than to go for a rip around the localskatepark, which just so happens to be a couple of blocks away from Joe's house
Kyle was getting groovy with the bump whilst strangers asked me how much my camera is worth
Horsey wallied over the jersey barrier into the bank.....
...and then busted the hero line over the hip and rail (i cut off your head on the mega tweaked one - sorry bro)
Conclusive proof that Tupac is alive and well in Belgium!
To celebrate this fact Kyle suddenly busted out some secret freestyle moves...
...but quickly wore himself out both mentally and physically
Come evening time we found ourselves at another much bigger gig, with 4 or 5 bands playing. Somehow we wandered into the VIP, completely unchallenged we helped ourselves to free booze and some fantastic pasta!
...all ended up at Joes one way or another and let off a bit of steam before bedtime
DAY 3
Before leaving for the ferry Horsey had just enough time for a hungover drop in outside Bar 219, on what Joe would call "A metal dinger"
Kyle was upset to be leaving, but not as upset as he was gonna be a few hours later...
Kyle went for a swim in near freezing sea water at Calais, he should have kept going all the way back to England....
Kyle is unaware of the imminent fuck up coming his way...
Just about to board the ferry and boom there it is! DENIED
Poor Kyle got refused entry back into the UK and had to stay in France until he goes back to the USA. They interigated him for 3 hours whilst locked in a windowless room, with not even so much as a cup of tea, whilst we all sat in the car outside watching ferry after ferry depart back to the UK. They simply didn't believe that he had a ticket back to America and was gonna stay in secret or some shit. What a joke. At a time when all the newspapers are filled with uninsured people living here illegaly who are crashing cars, running people over or stabbing/robbing people in broad daylight, you would think that a quiet, polite chap such as Kyle would be allowed to spend the last 2 weeks of his european holiday with his buddies in harrow? He had a FULL month left on his visa anyway! they still refused him!
So if you ever find youself in a similar position being quizzed by border control officers over what have you been doing in England for 5 months, whatever you do, do not say skateboarding! What a sad state of affairs when telling the truth is the wrong answer. FUCK THEM.
Hope you got home safe buddy, hope you can come back here soon!

This guy walked right in front on one of Kyles ollies, but with facial hair like that, how can you get mad?
