Shaun White :O
Missed a couple of interesting days, so here's the recap:

wednesday:
Radio was hectic because my co-host was away, and we decided to do live requests this week. It was pretty crazy to say the least. The replacement co-host was ok. Popular with the audience, but he got warned by our broadcaster for coarse language which is a bit nuts. Spetz the DJ did a sterling job holding it all together.

thursday:
Ruthy came over after work and we had shinoya (yum). Then we met up with DV and simmo and hung out a bit. I put on this tony hawk DVD I got from insurance for us to watch. Basically tony and a whole bunch of pros go round to skate parks and own it up bigtime just for fun. During the course of the DVD tony fractures his ankle, and keeps skating anyway... then he splits open his shin trying a trick. Time to go home right? BZZZZZZZZZZ! WRONG! he gets up after they piece his shin together and completes the trick before going to the hospital. What a machine.

Interestingly, one of the pros on the DVD was shaun white of snowboarding fame. I was a bit shocked to see a guy who is one of the world's best snowboarders able to do crazy ass skateboarding manouvers as well. I'm still quite spun out about it. To give a conventional sports example, this would be like the best rugby league player in the world going and playing AFL, and then winning the brownlow medal or being a finalist for it.

craziness.
