Weekly Skid #12 - Mystic Skate, Andrew McFarlane MotoX + music

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 18:08:18 -0700

This week we escape the Aussie Winter by heading north to sunny Prague where over 10,000 fans joined the world's best vert, bowl and street skaters for the 15th annual Mystic Skate Cup earlier this month. We also take a sneak peek at the latest DVD covermount for the well-wicked Dirt Action magazine; with Aussie motocross sensation Andrew McFarlane talking about his tough return from injury, and he shreds it up on a private track in California just to prove the kid's still got it! We serve up your weekly dose of Beerfridge carnage with a mad-as wipeout section. and in music we get loose with a funk, punk, crunk band heralded as the "tightest band in Sydney"; King Farook.

Skuff's Weekly Skid #11

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 01:07:38 -0700

Highlights from this year's Quiksilver bowlriders skate event on the Gold Coast. We drop in on the latest leg of Indonesia's pro-surfing tour, the Quiksilver Open at Lakey Peak. Skuff's film critic Sticko gives 5 thumbs up for soul-surf movie "Beyond The Lineup".... though we suspect the fact it features Sticko himself getting tubed off his lips may've swayed his opinion. Extreme skier Andreas Hatveit takes on the slopes of Sandpoint USA and boosts some sick air. And in Muzik we meet DrawCard, a young Gold Coast band who're getting a little help from all the right people in dropping their first album "Modern Rivalry" - currently getting the finishing touches from US producer Sylvia Massey, who's worked with the likes of Tool, the Chilli Peppers, and System of a Down...
