10:00AM Nick Broughall | Don’t think for a second that our portly appearance and lazy demeanor means that we’re not hardcore. When we do stumble outside, it’s with one of these Oregon Scientific ATC5K rugged helmet cams attached to our heads, now that they’re available in Australia, and if that doesn’t make us hardcore, we don’t know what does… More »

The Dirtsurfer: New Bike And Skateboard Hybrid Thing
1:00PM Matt Hickey | It’s part bike and part skateboard and it looks all fun.

10:10AM Nick Broughall | When I was 22, I was just finishing up Uni, spending too much time in pubs and clubs and wondering how Nokia managed to get an address book function in their latest mobile phone. At no point in time did it cross my mind that I should go to one of the remotest parts of the world and try and cross a relatively unexplored island on foot.
