Happy Friday…
During a quick weekend trip down to Connecticut I ended up running into someone who wanted to get rid of an old Honda CB motorcycle. This is a true “garage find” with all the original parts intact and less than 5,500 miles. This will be my 2nd vintage bike restoration, the first one being a 1978 Honda CB 550. Although I’ve been in the market for another late 70′s CB this free 1982 was just too hard to pass up!
Here is the priority list… we’ll see how quickly we’re able to make it through this:
The results are in! The top 10 snowboard tricks aggregated from every movie released in 2007…

Enjoy the weekend!
About two weeks ago Peter Mel, Flea, Dan Malloy, Garrett MacNamara, the Wormhoudt brothers, and Twiggy rode some of the largest waves ever surfed at Maverick’s in northern California. There was a thick mist and heavy westerly swell pushing directly towards the rocks…
A pretty good laugh…

Hopefully you didn’t get caught in the shopping madness yesterday…
but if you did choose to spend your evening outside in the cold waiting for the stores to open (only to find that you were not early enough to get 1 of the 10 available [insert loss leader here]… you may want to consider celebrating “Cyber Monday” next year…
Now that we’ve made it halfway through October… I suppose it’s time to start getting psyched for the upcoming winter…
YouTube Terje's 7601 Descent Video
“Terje HÃ¥konsen (born October 11, 1974 in Vinje, Norway) is a Norwegian snowboarder. HÃ¥konsen is widely considered one of the most influential snowboarders of all time and was one of the sport’s early icons.
HÃ¥konsen dominated freestyle snowboarding in the 1990s winning the ISF World Championships in half-pipe three times in a row, in 1993, 1995 and 1997. He has also won 5 European championships in half-pipe (1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1997), the U.S. Open in half-pipe 3 times (1992, 1993, 1995), and the Mt. Baker Banked Slalom 6 times (1995, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2004). He also won the Innsbruck Air & Style Contest in 1995. HÃ¥konsen set the world record for highest ‘air’ during the finals of the Arctic Challenge in Oslo 2007 when he reached 9.8 meters out of the top of the quarterpipe with a backside 360.
He is the creator of an aerial snowboard maneuver named The Haakon Flip.
HÃ¥konsen is also credited to have developed the T6, the world’s first snowboard to be made out of a material named “Alumafly,” an aluminum honeycomb construction and as a co-creator of the Burton Fish (a powder-specific board) and the Burton Malolo, a cross-breed between a freestyle and powder board.” – Image: norskdesign.no Bio: Wikipedia
“Theo Jansen, artist, studied science at the University of Delft Holland. The first seven years being a artist he just made paintings. Then he starts a project with a big flying saucer, which could really fly. It flew over the town of Delft in 1980 and brought the people in the street and the police in commotion. Since about ten years he is occupied with the making of a new nature. Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic material of this new nature. He makes skeletons which are able to walk on the wind. Eventually he wants to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, so they will live their own lives.”
