Forgot to mention…

Good-bye to Finblog, Hello to Finsite: a sanctum where our writing contains less clichés, and our designs  - more teevee dinners.

This is a time-consuming gig, so please take some time to read TOMROBFEASTMYBRAINS blog and westy CLAWSNTEETH blog for better updates than ours.

One Gear to Bind Them

How many of us cringe to see this sign of impending doom… It is our feared overlord (aka gaslor, aka petrol demon, aka Dick Cheney). He determines our weekly grocery budget, if we can ‘afford’ to surf or not and more importantly if we can purchase rare collectables from ebay.

However,

There is a unitarian solution to end this reign of terror.

Invented around the mid 1880s, and already utilised by our ‘frothing grommet’ population The Bicycle is becoming a fashionable, stylised mode of transport.

Exhibit a is what we like to call a ‘fixed gear’ bicycle. Note its clean lines and lack of brakes. Originally used in the velodrome these bikes have stolen the hearts of many inner city Americans, spawning a huge ‘fixed gear’ subculture. Whether in retalliation to rising petrol prices, the ineffeciency of cars, the dying planet or simply because they look cool… they are damn fun to ride.

Start saving today!

check out Urban Velo for all kinds of news and information on bicycling in the city and start saving today!

Thomas Robinson…and a blog?
Hesitant at first, though we like to keep our enemies closer* at Fin. Having said that, heres the “Feast My Brains” blog in all its black bowl-cut glory. 

* – We’re not really enemies, more rival bloggers – kind of friendly competition.

River Rag

Margaret River Mail

WA’s local rag, the ‘Margaret River Mail‘, has been producing some fine pieces of late – one of which pictures Adam Leuhman at the Box recently. 

Nothing special news-wise, though it’s 2-D proof that our western counterparts have been receiving some quality waves every day for the past two weeks.

Island Trials for Dummies

 

Sounds enticing, doesn’t it?
Oh well, it’s a small price to pay for a chance to compete in the most renowned wave/competition in the sport of bodyboarding. 
The No. 6 Brett Young Shark Island Trials will be held 27-29th June.

Eppo: Linked Up

Been in hiding from the harsh blows of a violent wife? Had to sit tight in a desert bunker from the latest bout of jihad threats?

Well then we forgive you for not knowing that Mike Stewart, aka the godfather of Bodyboarding, is hitting up Eppo’s Bodyboard Shop at Mooloolaba on Friday June 13, at 3:00pm. 

Respect to Eppo for giving us a mention on their latest “blogject”, Bodyboardshop.blogspot.com.

not so wild/free

How ironic this song is to Josh Garner’s current state…..

Take solace in the fact that this guy come a month or so will be ripping WA up ten-fold to this video.
