Wok interviews Twig - The Haters come out!

Wok loves himself and his balls, your opinion, does not even enter his head...

By now most of you are aware of my good mate Wok and his "Self Absorbed" creation that is his blog - I am Wok. He has been putting famous surfers on the hot seat and calling the interviews, Between Wok and a Hard Place. Generally he manages to put the guests onto the back foot, almost embarrassing them, while remaining aloof and non emotional. Twig manages to break that facade and even gets Wok to crack a laugh. Twig also has some good points and you get a good feel for what his mission is all about. This is a really funny interview, but what is even funnier is the response it got from one "hater" out there in FB land (See Below.) To be honest mate, if you expected anything else from Wok, you have been living under a rock! Furthermore curry gives you Diarrhea not the Wok.

The Comment (And the backlash, haha):

Kate Upton - The Bikini Cat Daddy Dance

The gorgeous Kate Upton recently joined the ranks of the Skull Candy nation and to celebrate, I thought I would post this video of her dancing in a very skimpy bikini. The original video was deemed to "Hot" for Youtube and was pulled within hours of being launched. Luckily, many had already ripped and reposted it. I am hoping my relationship with Skull Candy gets me a meet at some point. Nothing wrong with dreaming ...

XGames Real Snow 2012 - Mental Snowboarding

Every winter the good people at X Games run the "Real Snow" Snowboarding competition. Some of the world's best Free riders submit their video sections for the competition and we mere mortals get to vote for the best. The winner takes all and the X games Gold. This is some of the most gnarly urban snowboarding I have seen in a long time!



Skull Candy team rider, Dan Brisse, took the Gold. Check out his section...

Ultimate X 2012 - Event Wrap Up & Video

Girls & FMX Bikes are always a great combo! (Photo: Ultimate X/Pierre Marqua)

Now that the dust has settled and we have all recovered from the heat wave that was last Saturday, I can finally put to paper my thoughts on the 2012 Ultimate X. I dont need to get that verbose or even write a whole soliloquy - bottom line is, Ultimate X 2012 was bloody marvelous!

The event has grown every year, but this year saw a massive jump. A large part of this had to do with the new Skate and Bmx park. The levels of riding in the park were simply mind blowing. The best skating and Bmx I have seen in a very long time.  (Dont believe me, just take a gander at the video below!) Many of the local riders were a little intimidated by the course, due to the fact that we dont have a park this size in the Cape. This needs to change in order to up the level of riding. Guys like, Greg Illingworth (Bmx Winner), showed that they have been riding overseas in massive parks, with their flow through the course and utilizing different lines on every run.

Big Park meant big tricks! (Photo: Ultimate X/Pierre Marqua)

Instead of having a huge bunch of riders in the FMX, the organizers chose to keep the field tight and had the two best guys in Southern Africa. This was a great decision. Nick de Wit and Alistair Sayers put on an amazing Fmx display that had the crowd eating out of the palm of their hands. Multiple backflips, huge extensions and the showmanship only guys who have performed on the World Stage could bring to the event. Ultimate X brought the best and we were all stoked to see it!

The Huge crowd loved the Fmx. (Photo: Ultimate X/Pierre Marqua)

The Wake boys put on a show, but the Jetski is a problem. The wake slows things down and not having a high extended rope certainly limited the size of airs off of the kicker. Rumor has it that their is going to be a cable system for next year. We can but hope, it would be epic. There were no huge problems on the day. We witnessed amazing riding and all in all the event was an incredible success. I am really looking forward to seeing what they come up with for next year. Ultimate X in Jozi? (Who knows what could happen...)

Talk about close to the action! (Photo: Ultimate X/Pierre Marqua)

Wok gets stumped...

Well known surfer and blogger, Wok, recently lost his lady to a well known cricket player in SA. He wanted to show the rest of us just how sneaky and devious those cricketers can be, so he made a re-enactment of how it all went down - in his own head. This is bloody marvelous and funny. (Please note no cricket players were harmed in the making of this spoof.)

Dylan Mitchell can like to Wakeskate

Check out Dylan Mitchell's latest offering of Wakeskate magic. I have no idea how these guys do these tricks with no bindings let alone without ramming their sphincters through their noses. But, I gave wakeskating a go and it was pretty fun, there was no flipping though, except for the old guy on skis behind me flipping me the bird!

Dirtpipe - BMX dirt riding on a giant scale!

BMX goes HUGE!

I had to watch this twice, just to make sure it was real! How crazy is this course they built? I mean usually it's the Americans who cant help but build the largest craziest stuff, but this time out the Aussies take the prize! We really need to start doing something similar here in SA, we have the terrain and the riders - er hem, Red Bull! Enjoy!
