Skateboardings walking flashback to the 70's Richie Jackson Arrested at Gunpoint

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:56:02 +0000

The Daily Telegraph by way of ESPN reports THIS is what happens when you try to take an early-morning nap in the grounds of one of Sydney's top schools. More than 12 armed police officers in five cars descended on Sydney Grammar School when its alarm went off early yesterday morning. After searching the premises, they found a man with a skateboard had broken into the gated grounds. In the ensuing short chase, the man attempted a quick escape by scaling the front fence of the school on College St. But officers were too quick - cornering him and holding him at gunpoint. The man told police he was looking for somewhere to sleep. As he was led to a paddy-wagon, he explained: "I figured it would be better to sleep in there than in the park.'' Sleep in the park? Hippie to the bone.

Skapegoat 4

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 23:47:57 +0000

The riding in Skapegoat 4 is ridiculous, even though it's the out take footage for the new Animal video which will be dropping sometime early 2010. With over 12 minutes of street riding from the Animal team from all over the world, plus loads of other East Coast shredders, and an Animal warehouse session, Skapegoat 4 should be it's own damn DVD!
