Bearded Ladyboarding - Rock on!

Ever wanted to dress up in a dress (of all things), put on a beard and helmet and go film yourself doing some "Bearded Ladyboarding" ? Think I'm talking crazy talk? Well, you'd be surprised! Oregon Scientific got together with the lovely peeps at Team Rubber and created this little number:



Go play the game and you'd be in with a chance to win one of Oregon Scientific's ATC 3K action sport cameras, which is pretty neat if you ask me.



The style of film-making you could do with that baby kinda reminds me of a screening I went to at the Watershed earlier in the year. It was for "Paranoid Park", a feature length film shot in Super8. Was nicely done, but the story wasn't exactly down my alley (I'm all for skateboarding, but the rest of it, well...didn't float my boat anyway). And besides, doesn't skateboarding go with the whole culture of graffiti? Eh?

Too much of a stretch maybe? Well it's fun all the same. Check it!

Oh yeah - the other reason for my post. I've been listening to Bonobo a bit today on the company choons. These guys are amazing :D you may have heard "Ketto" before on TV (well, if you're in the UK and not living under a rock, maybe) but their other stuff is pretty decent too. I first heard "Ketto" in Gav Strange's Droplet launch video (which I am actually in, for all of 2 seconds :P):

Gotta love those little guys ^_^ check out my drops' ("Campino") getting his chef on ;)



Ciao for now!
