Here is the Freecaster coverage of the the Elite Men’s final from the 2009 UCI BMX World Championships.

I have two cats, so they are friends! One is medium to large, the other is compact, but they are similar ratios.

I am fairly sure their hobbies are lounging around and bird watching. The big one is not very good at the ‘I’m not paying attention to you’ game, but the little one is. Corporal cuddling only seems to results in drawing blood.

I love ‘Scenes from a hat’. I could watch it all day…

Breakdance (AKA B-boying/B-girling or breaking) is most athletic of the element of Hip-Hop. This dance style grew out of the street culture of New York in the 1970s as a constructive option for the kids on the streets instead of being part of the gangs and violence.

Breakdance has 4 major elements to its technique - toprock, downrock, freezes and power moves.  Showdowns and contests take place as a battle, were individuals or crews (group) go head to head, taking it in turns to show their skills. I went looking for a video that really encompassed all of these techniques in a battle mode, when a light bulb went off in my head. The film clip for Jason Nevins’ remix of ‘It’s Like That’ by Run-DMC is a fake crew battle that really shows everything. To quote DMC, ‘Check this out’….

The first one is of Pose and Ewok ‘dropping a burner’ (no, this is not something you do in the toilet after a vindaloo). The finished piece is a phenomenal artwork that just makes you go ‘WOW’. You can see more pictures of this piece as well as more graffiti at Known Gallery.

I have been racking my brain on something to use for video of the week, and boy did that hurt. So to show that I am not just all about hip-hop, here is some Rage Against The Machine. Like most of what I listen to, it has some kind of message. I am still not sure what that message is though!

This is one of the most incredible performances by the Beastie Boys for a TV show, and the best performance I have ever seen on Letterman. It has been put together very well.

This time Patrick Roy of the Avs comes back for more against a different Redwings goalie, Chris Osgood.

Ice hockey goalie fight are the best! Patrick Roy (Avalanche) goes at it against Mike Vernon (Redwings).
