Poached back when I was living in Australia at the Varsity Lakes plaza. I think the picture got published in SLAM Magazine. Pat is a hairy beast, watch him destroy Australia over here

Pat was also in Dustin Dollin’s 7 Day Weekend, it just got put up by the Pissdrunx crew.

Here’s my former next door neighbour/homie Zac McKay repping the Australian side of Nike SB. Zac is renowned for picking up multiple girls in a week (or 24 hour period), breaking into my house at 5am to say hi and have a toke, and generally killing it on a skateboard when he feels like it.

Zac McKay doesn’t like angry birds squawking at him. F**c those c**ty birds!

Filmed in Gold Coast, Australia.

Happy New Year! Lots of goods ready to drop in 2010, thanks for wasting some time at Stickiest of the Icky.

Tumyeto boss Mr Tod Swank has been kind enough to show off some exclusive photos from Foundation’s Australia and NZ Tour. Apparently things are quite different down under. Have you ever been skating a spot where they offer to bring you cookies? I’ve had offers to be arrested, punched in the face, or to hit a crack pipe….definitely no cookies.

David Reyes, overcrooks at the friendliest damn school in NZ

Did the teachers at the school where this handrail is actually bring you guys apples and drinks? What the F is going on?

I swear. We moseyed on in there and there were teachers and preschool kids all over and we just barged. The kids watched. Parents picking up their kids watched. Rhino from Thrasher was shooting pics. Chris Ray from TWS was shooting hidef. I was doing door guard duty so no kids would run out in the path of the landing area. The principle came out and I cringed. I keep waiting for her to bark at us. She never did. She actually talked to Rhino telling him about how they have skate day at the school. Then this hot teacher came out with a tray of apple wedges and cookies for us. We finished up shooting. David Reyes and the Nuge killing it. It was weird and surreal. Like a dream.

Cookies and apples contain enough nutrients to back lip a handrailÂ

When you were on the Gold Coast, did you notice a lot more girls vomiting on the streets compared to other cities in Australia?

Actually I did not notice this anywhere. Is this common?  Kinda gross.

Maybe it’s just a Surfers Paradise thing then. Did you ever meet the legendary Lee Ralph?

Yes back in the day. Lance’s ramp and some other spots. I saw him at a trade a few years ago and he remembered me.  I was siked.

Could you grow a better beard then Lee Ralph if you wanted to?
Nope.

Who’s your favourite Aussie Skater? Past, Present, or Future. Well, I guess past or present, unless you can tell the future. Take a guess…

Andrew Currie rode for the F and killed it. He threw down. Lee Ralph is probably the most memorable to me. I saw some dude killing it at the demo that we did at a new park on the Gold Goast. Ripping the back bowl and cradle. Chad Bartie back the F for a spell.

All photos were taken by Tod Swank, except for the one of Lee Ralph which I stole aka borrowed from the internet….so if that’s your photo, thanks, and if you want me to take it down I’ll fight you, or I’ll take it down. Thanks again.

One of the many fine parks of the Gold coast, Runaway Bay is somehow overrun with filthy disease ridden scooter kids. Kurt Nischel scares them away with pure gnar-ness and sends them back into their jungle lairs.

Kurt is a graphic designer, tree surgeon, professional downhill skateboarder, and also recently invented the “watermelon helmet” at a recent hard liquor pool party. Check out some of Kurt’s designs at Action Ape.

Youtube is here for all of you too lazy to ummm…click the link above..uhhhh

In other news, World Moustache Championship contender and photographer Nash Dawg has a new gallery online called “Work Less, Ride More”.

This handrail is terrible. It’s high, on a busy street, it needs a wood landing, and you have to get up a curb before you hit it.It sucks. But, on the Gold Coast you sometimes have to work a little harder to skate those non played out spots. Zac McKay gets his gnarly boots on and warms up for the back lip and a few others that I’ll show ya some other time.

This picnic table is high, like Rick James 1980-1994

Is the rail on the back of a mini still considered a handrail?

Zac McKay….2 for 2

Varsity Lakes in the Gold Coast.
Buy any Slam magazine and you’ll find more of Jimmy, our you can check out some video here

Zac McKay on the handrail and Matt takes the set, as I contemplate how many cans of beer it takes to destroy an entire human brain instead of filming properly.
