Thanks for the advice Black Mountain. I never broken a bone before in my life and in one go I fell forward (normaly I lift my toes, go back side and slow down but it snaped soo quickly) my elbow hit the ground driving the upper arm up slicing the top ball of the arm and fractuing the neck along the arm (made a meal of it) The so called 'season' in Aus is out of the question while I heal, but I like to see (if I heal in time) is a simple 7 day trip in Japan with nothing but lessons and training. I had a great time hell even Jetstar where very helpful on the return trip (!) if I need leg st

Hi all. Sorry I have not been in contact but I had a great japan trip back in Jan.. 7 days in Nis then 1 night rest in Tokyo then 7 days in Myoko but on the 2nd last snowday I became one of the many muppets who had a stack and broke my arm. I got back to aus (much thanks to the great hotel staff in both Myoko and in Tokyo) and had a operation where they inserted 9 pins and a plate. I am still resting and taking it easy and trying to work out how I messed it up on a easy run...

I brought tickets to a NYE rave at a water park which was cancelled 6 hours before it was due to start -
That letter was a hoot and is doing the rounds in the news today. Back in 07 I flew from San-Francisco to London via LA. I arrive well before time and as I see my backpack (which only had a ipod and clothes in it) make 7 trips into the xray machine. The TSA agent gives me the most filthy look I have ever seen from a human and sends me on my way. After the expected 5 hour delay, I board something I swore I saw on Air Crash Investigation one too many times... I made it to LA just in time to catch my flight to London. On the flight itself the woman (I think) behind me was fat enough s

Hey All Long Time No Type I don't care much about the hype on the 3d gun (helps the Jurnos on a slow news day) I just hope lawmakers don't get their nickers in a wad and pass laws to ban people making stuff (3d printers, cnc etc) I have thought of building one for fun. I allready have a cnc machine and some parts for a c02 laser but everything is on hold for now because of a house move, then raising the budget for my next Japan trip this is my cnc which is in boxed up

Q: What's the definition of foreplay in Tasmania ? A: Are you awake mum ? Anyway I had a great trip in Feb (8 days 7 of them on snow) that was my 3rd trip and I still want to go again in Feb 2013. But there are a few lessons I take on board a) I cannot board 7 days stright. I like to go to one area board for 3 or 4 days then move on to another area c) plan and save early (worked hard to get last years trip to happen) I like to spend 3 or 4 weeks on the 13 trip and even put in some snow miles in Korea (any ideas ?) 73

I have a pocket wi-fi/3g modem. it is handy when I take my show on the road but it can be a pain in the arse when you are working at major events and everyone else is there with their phones. (also an update on the hangover. yes I had a big one this morning because I think I went down with the ship last night)
