Refill magazine is curating an exhibit of beautifully designed and laser cut skateboard decks at a Sydney’s MTV Gallery. They’ve got a Flickr set up with a bunch of picts.
Absolutely stunning. I’d be proud to hang one of these on my wall.

This weekend, despite unusual rain storms all weekend, the “X-Games Dubai” took place in Dubai Creek Park. I went on the last day and tolerated a crowd of 20,000 15 year olds in order to take photos of proper western sport. Most of the east doesn’t know how popular extreme sports are in the west. […]
I went to see some F1 Powerboat racing this afternoon at the Dubai Marina, just south of where the Palm Jumeirah is being built. We sat in stands along the shore, and massively powerful powerboats raced around something called “Logo Island,” reaching speeds in excess of 150MHP. It was impressively fast and impressively noisy, despite […]
Everyone’s talking about Zinedine Zidane’s World Cup Final headbutt of Marco Materazzi. I have no opinion of the World Cup, of violence in sports, of international politics, or of France. I can only say that this is the single greatest headbutt I have ever seen…
And the world holds its breath to find out what the […]
Yesterday afternoon I had the pleasure of attending my first-ever polo match. It’s just as pretentious and wealthy and stuffy as you might imagine, but getting completely pissed off your ass is a great leveler. I DID actually watch some polo being played, and I still have no real idea what is going on. My […]

Ron Burgundy, anchorman, auditions for ESPN, and it’s too fucking funny. This clip is on the DVD of Anchorman, but a lot of people have never seen it. Enjoy.
He was right by the way, “financial and cultural disaster.”

This video of a Japanese Yo-yo tournament shows some amazing kids with sick sick Yo-yo trick skills.
Some of the stuff doesn’t even look like it should be possible.
Go watch.
Having a bit of an issue with image uploading.
Sorry about not having a screencap.
Just go watch the video, pick a frame you like, and pretend it […]
An older, post-op Sylvester Stallone started filming the latest installment of the Rocky series on December 2nd. Rocky VI, “Rocky Balboa” will feature Stallone as Rocky, again in the ring, which I absolutely did not suspect when I first heard rumors of the film. Sly is definitely in great shape for a 59 year old […]
Dan Osman is apparently a bit of a rock climber.
Remember Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible II? Yeah, well, Dan’s better. And it’s real. Watch this video to see what I mean.
[WARNING: Video is fine, but the site it’s on is filled with NSFW ads and video links!]
I’mma chalk this one up on the […]
4 years, $52 million. Holy shit. Johnny Damon is a Yankee.
UPDATED 12/21, 5pm: Here’s an excellent ESPN article by Jim Caple, “Damon still an idiot,” about why Johnny Damon is not a good fit in NY. Hint: The dress code, haircuts, and corporate pinstripes. Excellent piece, in my opinion, also nailing why Giambi has been […]
