ON THE ROAD << Skate Australia
Skate Australia is a landmark Longboard documentary - a unique adventure into the passion and lives of extreme downhill skaters.
It started with the simple idea of traveling the country with our Long boards and within weeks we were rolling with extreme downhill skaters from all over the world. Skate Australia documents our road-trip of discovery into this rapidly emerging and varying sport, covering all styles of long boarding: slalom, sliding, dancing and downhill. After skating beaches, mountains and big cities of Australia's East coast our working holiday comes to a climax in Bathurst and the biggest downhill skating event in Australian history, the World Championship in Downhill Skateboarding.

The Road Worn Series guitars
Guitarists such as Rory Gallagher, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Joe Strummer have embedded in our minds images of used and abused guitars with faded and worn-down varnish. So what’s an impatient guitarist to do when looking for a guitar that's been worn and aged through years of playing and gigging. The answer is Fenders release of its new Road Worn series guitars and basses. The series is based on classic Fender instruments of the '50s and ‘60s, these instruments are coming off the assembly line looking like they’ve already seen a few decades of sweaty, grimy, nicotine-stained bar band mayhem.

Billie Holiday as Lady Day
Billie Holiday is widely considered the greatest jazz vocalist of all time. Holiday was a seminal influence on jazz and pop singing. Her vocal style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo. Above all, she was admired for her deeply personal and intimate approach to singing. She "changed the art of American pop vocals forever." So please take a minute and enjoy some incredible tunes
