A fast paced action shot of a nutter and his motor cross bike, getting some serious air!

Location - The sticks.

To take this shot:

1/100, fStop 8, ISO 400

You will need: Some patience to ignore the rubbish shots you will take trying to establish settings, functional eyelids to evade mud & grit surprises, a crazy stunt man with his CC's!

As mentioned, this week has been a week of multiple 'first-times'! I've unknowingly attempted so much that i've not planned for and the feeling, after going through it all , is just GREAT. I was watching a hongkong movie today on Chn 62 and i was unexpectedly enlightened! One of the lead actresses mentioned something about life being full of fears and we should take every single possible opportunity to overcome these fears before gets too late to regret those great things we could have done, but retreated due to our lack of confidence and fear. Sounds like a logic that almost everyone knows, but fail to put into practice till our deathbeds. And we lie there , in that wooden box buried 6 feets under wondering what we could have done for those past times.

The first activity that zoomed the week was the Flying Trip @ Malaysia last saturday. It was spectacular. Initially it was kinda weird cuz most of the guys who went for the trip were like super engineering students who were particularly keen on aviation. Man, i bet they were wondering what on earth was an arts student like me doing in the midst of this 'we-love-engineering' group. But well oh well, putting such differences aside, i must say i thoroughly enjoyed myself that day, although personal flight time was only 30 minutes. The day started with some introductions , followed by some Voice procedure briefings and introduction to some ground school lessons. The flight started with the instructing pilot controlling the key controls while we steer the direction of the plane. Take off was smooth but as the plane ascended, my heart started to pounce faster and faster. The thrill started when i tried to descend the plane just a little, it felt so much like a roller coastal fall . You know, the feeling of having your heart in your mouth. Words can't describe how great the feeling of controlling the plane yourself is, although i was a little paranoid.The highlight of the flight for me , was definitely the air acrobatics that the pilot performed. And guess what, I was sitting right in the cockpit ! We did sharp manoeuvres , fast flypast many weird and really exciting moves that got me pretty much in shock actually.The plane certainly didn't look capable of carrying out such high-speed stunts! The biggest thing that i experience was the plane fall! Or at least, it felt like a plane fall. The plane just dived right towards the woods below with me feeling as if i'm in Jurassic Park 3 with my 747 crashing right into the woods , totally bounded only by the straps of the safety belt.My headset flew right to the back behind me totally.All the force was just totally brought up to my head!As scarey as it sounds, its still a DAMN cool experience, i have never experienced such weird force effects before.. superb experience of the year. Kudos!

Next up ..'work stuff'..totally no mood to talk about it now but hmm in short. I received a new jobscope and a new 'working environment'. i am adapting slightly well so hope things go smoothly till i finally 'FINISH my BOND'. So thats something totally new for me too.

And today i did something really stupidly new too, that was being emcee for a event. It was kinda stressing, considering this was my first time doing it. Handling such a role with no prior experience in such a rather massive event.. i have to admit i was superbly nervous through out and i tried my best although i screwed up a couple of times...i got pissed off at times too and i felt bad for my mistakes. But sometimes i wonder if its worth the the point of feeling bad for these people above us because they have to answer for our mistakes. But who knows , maybe we're just simply their stepping stones to higher grounds. I'm not sure about this, but i certainly hope these guys aren't like that.but still, i can't believe someone fussed me over a stupid little small error!! Oh my..please don't give me so many first times in a week ok?! Its just super pants-peeing.

people are scared and afraid of so many things, this can be with things, dark rooms, unfamiliar faces and places, closed areas or sometimes even for no apperent reason. I tried to question myself quiet a few times, was it a big harm to be scared? will you be less of a person when you’re afraid of something? does being scared or hesitant of something measure ones’ character and personality?

I am personally very scared of a lot of things, lets start with the very simple ones or for others they may termed it as “nonsense”. Insects?! spiders and cockroaches, yucky! (i can tolerate it, doesnt make me too hysterical). New places definitely afraid of it. Just the thought that i might get lost and be forever wandering is a total killer. New faces?! i must say a bit scared; i am the kind of person that is not that good with adjustments, it takes me months or even years to develop and establish a free and careless friendship. i am a bit hesitant to approach faces new to me, and a lot of times because of that habit “they think i am a snob and mataray”. Well cant blame them it’s something that i try too hard to change but it really takes time for someone to be a total different.Complete story

It's nice when you can see something that's become a reminder of all that's wrong with humanity flipped around to represent the awe and wonder we should all aspire to stimulate in others. This movie looks amazing.

the video that was made involves them chasing good ideas around Lincoln city, and finally outwitting it (him) and locking it in an ideas cupboard for later use.

see if you can spot Leburys cameo you it might be hard to spot him...

It's a fun video, dot take it too seriously, and I wish them the best of luck in the future

The original Dutch version was called Now or Neverland. When Endemol USA and NBC adapted it to the American market in 2001, they changed the name to Fear Factor.

So it seems that if I take a week off from doing Throwback Sundays then a few people take notice.  My apologies to everyone that logged on last weekend looking to find their weekend dose of throwback videos when there were none to be found.  We're back this weekend and doing it up.  Make sure you keep hitting us up with your theme suggestions as we'll start theming videos and mixes around them very soon.

And you know the drill...videos after the jump.

OG member of the Diggin' In The Crates crew with the lead single from his debut LP Stunts, Blunts, and Hip Hop.  What a banger of as 12" this was!

The Breaking Atoms album was the only LP where Main Source retained all of their orginal members but what a classic they produced with this.  Large Professor broke away and had great success as a solo artist but Mikey D, K-Cut, and Sir Scratch never achieved much fame beyond the group.

Hiero really set a standard for Bay area Hip Hop in the early 90's and while everyone was jocking the title track they released this 12" to the acclaim of those that chose to really pay attention.

Even those of us with a heavy NY bias couldn't deny the heat that the Westside Connection held with their first album.  It was so hard, so mean, and had the swagger and funk that any Hip Hop head couldn't help but get down with.  Even if you were riding with the other side the Bow Down joint rocked from coast to coast (minus the NY boycott that is).

Till the next episode...

How ill is this? In which Improv Everywhere gathered eight sets of identical twins for a NYC subway ride, lining them all up in once car sitting opposite each other, much to the consternation/ amusement of the other passengers. They got them to wear identical clothes and accessories too, to boot. Kind of wish I'd come across this earlier when it was still happening. [via urban prankster]
