A 6 foot Half pipe, with no coping, in the middle of an open field with burnout marks across it, has probably been used more for someone's graffiti practice than actually skated. <br />

The schedule was lined with high flying motocross dudes, concerts, preachers and 'Team Extreme' (the guys that break bricks, flip over cars and tear phone books to bits). The motocross got cancelled because of wind (bummer) and the preaching was hours to long, but watching people break bricks, flip over cars and bend steel bars in their mouth is always entertaining. We also did a bit of skating at the parks around town, they were of sketchy proportions, but always a good time. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/derekellens/6237623092/" title="Dirt Jump Foot Plant by derek ellens, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6093/6237623092_3060a76bb1_z.jpg" width="427" height="640" alt="Dirt Jump Foot Plant"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/derekellens/6239377832/" title="Switch Rock by derek ellens, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6092/6239377832_cf3d9713e7_z.jpg" width="640" height="343" alt="Switch Rock"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/derekellens/6237098049/" title=".5 Pipe by derek ellens, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6159/6237098049_a10bb3624a_z.jpg" width="427" height="640" alt=".5 Pipe"></a>derek ellenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01098010477560235856noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339812327263299822.post-89340760517453734682011-08-15T23:36:00.000-07:002011-08-16T00:03:57.027-07:00Letter Box LullabiesThis past saturday some friends and I went down to Bris to watch our friend Kate Martin play at the coolest house concert i've been to.

The opening bands weren't amazing (except for this guy's beard) but the middle east definitely was. The Middle East isn't one of my favorite bands, but they are one of those bands that persuades you with their live show to give their music a closer look.

Roll down the window, grab those worthless 5 cent coins, apply them to as many of your fingers as you dare, using the oncoming wind to hold them up. Extra props if you can come to a complete stop with the coins still on your fingers.

We were both surprised at the good vibes at the skate parks. Maybe its the cold weather that keeps the angry skaters inside, but there seemed to be an openness and mutual respect between skaters which isn't always there.derek ellenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01098010477560235856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339812327263299822.post-53095542275183502332011-05-30T22:54:00.000-07:002011-08-01T23:35:51.209-07:00MelbourneBack in March, my friends <a href="http://morganandkim.blogspot.com/">Morgan and Kim</a>, invited me down to Melbourne to enjoy some beautiful Victorian landscapes and culture, we also got amazing deals on our flights ($1 return flight). <br /><br />The food in melbourne was a step up, and it seems that there are a lot of coffee gurus in melbourne and they literally make magic with coffee.<br />The Scenery in melbourne in may is something else as well. Very much like that of a north american autumn, which is something you miss in queensland. The cold weather, the freezing nights, color changes in the trees, and the joy of a cup of coffee to warm you up. It is beautiful. <br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/derekellens/6000614953/" title="Untitled by derek ellens, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6014/6000614953_8f4099d6f2_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt=""></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/derekellens/6000614939/" title="Untitled by derek ellens, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6006/6000614939_42b8277446_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt=""></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/derekellens/6000622461/" title="Untitled by derek ellens, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6144/6000622461_09d56b19b0_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt=""></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/derekellens/6000614943/" title="Untitled by derek ellens, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6013/6000614943_d9cd3aaa0c_z.jpg" width="427" height="640" alt=""></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/derekellens/5785932391/" title="Berries. by derek ellens, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3044/5785932391_09b6f73b9b_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="Berries."></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/derekellens/6000614945/" title="Untitled by derek ellens, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6023/6000614945_4714a120ed_z.jpg" width="427" height="640" alt=""></a>derek ellenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01098010477560235856noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339812327263299822.post-34233659142463946712011-05-15T19:31:00.000-07:002011-08-01T23:58:24.343-07:00Cruise.Its about 3 turns after the first 2 pushes that you realize, theres something about riding on that small 4 wheeled board that makes you take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy your day a little bit more than usual.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/derekellens/6000667937/" title="Untitled by derek ellens, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6011/6000667937_7ff3062d8a_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt=""></a>derek ellenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01098010477560235856noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339812327263299822.post-64266838455761327902011-05-09T19:09:00.000-07:002011-08-01T23:25:47.488-07:00Hill Climb<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/derekellens/5780179650/" title="Hill Climb turn 9 by derek ellens, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5261/5780179650_25bbfde049_z.jpg" width="640" height="426" alt="Hill Climb turn 9"></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/derekellens/5780179656/" title="Hill Climb turn 10 by derek ellens, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2066/5780179656_6d228e6cc8_z.jpg" width="640" height="231" alt="Hill Climb turn 10"></a><br /> Photos from this past sunday's session at Hill Climb.derek ellenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01098010477560235856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339812327263299822.post-8374649859335700752011-04-25T18:26:00.001-07:002011-08-15T23:34:16.265-07:00Silent Films in MajesticIn the small town of Pamona located in Southeast Queensland, is the 'Majestic Theatre' dedicated to showing silent films on the first thursday of every month. The theatre is run by Ron West, the Bob Barker of Silent films, who also accompanies the silent films with the organ.
<br /> I thought the silent film was intriguing, forcing you to engage in the plot by reading the script and trying to understand the characters. Definitely recommend going. Its worth the drive and the $15.
