Hey you Aussie guys forgot the most important Xmas item of all...BEER, BEER and more BEER!! Have a Merry Xmas!..p.s dont know if you guys have heard over there in J land, but all Aussies have been advised to get the hell outta Bali before Xmas...government expecting major terrorism activity against Aussies in Bali! So much for World peace!

I was a Tooheys old man , but have swung towards Boags premiumn..very tasty..since working in this hole Adelaide.. Coopers special brew..the aged shit..They do know how to brew beer here! In japan..love those 600ml sapporo draughts chilled in the snow.. But like all good Aussies..any bl**dy beer as long as it's cold and someone else bought it for ya! Stuck in a heatwave..best beer drinking weather!Crack us a cold one mate!! Cheers big ears!!

With the Burton bindings, the clip is to lock highback in place so it keeps you locked in forward lean!! But...by the end of the day your legs are killing ya,so I ride unclipped , and to be honest ,I cant tell the difference bar... when unlocked ...no f*****g pain! 32 days and then 3 months in niseko!!!

check this link.. air photo is me bro.. http://www.sandboarding.8k.com/big-air2.htm

yeah been a bit...my brothers right into it..when I came to Adelaide from Byron for work, he took me..ooh shit no lifts..every orifice full of sand..was getting sand outta me ears for days..what fun! but been a lot with him now..some real big dunes down the coorong..he builds the boards himself..the more you do it the more fun..but the hike back up is a bitch!But it is fun and good practice for the real thing!!

Hey Yuki, get hold of some Arnica cream ( homeopathic ointment) it heals like nothing else..First 2 nights rub it on where it's sore..plent of it ..and then wrap the area (yourself) with cling wrap..go to sleep and take off in morning ...do it for 2 nights and then just rub ointment in 3 times a day..it will make the injury heal much faster...I dont know if you can get Arnica in Japan so good luck, but if you can it works unreal..

Animal!

Hi there crew, wondering if anyone can help me.I'm heading over to niseko for 3 months in early Jan, but at the same time am looking at finding a good japanese language school in Sapporo or within a couple hours travel to niseko. I've studied in Oz for 18 months, here they say we are high intermediates, but I think more like a 5-6 year olds speech.. I'm looking at applying for student visa..yes I know ..I will have to leave the country..but does anyone know what immigration ask for in terms of money in the bank..eg. money to support yourself..I've heard too many conflicting amounts..Japanese

hey Powers..sent you a couple of messages about the board, dont know if you got them,mate I'm as keen as,just drop me a line and tell me one way or another if it's still up for grabs..dude just send me an email..cheers monggy!

Hey Sydney ..check ya private messages dude...sent you everything you will need to know! ^weeks to go!!

Iggy Pop..Melbourne at the Palace same year he did the Big Day Out..Got to hang out side stage ..just utter filth..guys a legend.. Nirvana..same place..maybe same year ..god knows. just unbelievable..they were soo loud but no one cared..energy in that place never experienced before.. Dead Kennedys..just complete and utter chaos..just awesome.. Fu Manchu and Rollerball..Brisvegas..Fu Manchu just rock.. Nebula...another stonerrock band from the states..lookout for thes guys when they come back they are sick.. Mudhoney..very first tour of Oz..when the released Superfuzz Big Muff.

Interesting topic this one,I have been thinking wether japan was under any threats. I heard yesterday that Japan has also put OZ on list of unsafe travelling destinations..Like how out of hand is this crap getting..I agree to a point that it is the terrorists fault,but anyone who is in Oz and see's Johnny coward in action can see he is out of his mind.We have one of the most pathetic defense forces around,we cant even monitor our coastlines,our airforce jets are over 20 years old and can barely stay in the air..You just have to walk around any capital city to see how easy it would be for a ter

I get there first week of jan ..stay until end of march...where's everyone staying..

Anyone there listen to Fu Manchu?(from California) Saw them in Sydney a few weeks ago and they rock, think they will get big in the indy music.See them if you get a chance.. .. I'm into stuff like Monster Magnet, Kyuss,Nebula.. Stoner rock....
