This Docco was different and long but kinda cool, guy did 2 months jumping trains by himself.

Before i moved to the coast i lived near a railway line and use to get up to lots of no good there, my best mate a few years older always tried to convince me to jump a train but i was too much of a pussy, I've always kind of regretted it. (i was only about 10 to 12 at the time)

Anyway maybe a good thing sadly this guy died a few years ago in an accident involving a train, assume while jumping trains.

Anyway just checking out some of his other videos and he even went to Indo and could even speak a little Bahasa Indonesia.(see below this video)

Yes, Stu .....literally.

That was cool funny as a grommet i was always thought he was like a big foot or yeti, and he looks even more like one now.

Weird feeling watching these vids on old skaters, so much mixed emotions, great to see them again and feel a stoke for them in one sense but also a kind of sadness for guys like this so much talent kind of wasted.

Jeez, the Exposed docco 'The Ghost Train Fire' on ABC was pretty amazing. Incredible research, production, etc, one of the best things the ABC has put out in years.

Really impressed with Caro Meldrum-Hanna's work, including her previous work 'The Case of Keli Lane'.

This was an interesting short docco type vid, on" planned obsolescence"

Planned obsolescence being companies purposely making products that don't last so we need to keep buying the same things.

Even a light globe in the video that's been running continuously for 120 years!

Great Video Indo, I'm proud to be a non trend follower and over consumer. An example is I love my vintage 4 channel stereo that some friends look bored by while talking about their new little sound bar tech. That is until I crank SADE up on it to about half of the 100Watts per channel....they just forgot what real Hi Fi sounds like ha ha I also have a box of old globes Ive been saving for when I go totally off grid as they still function when the voltage drops. Stuck with the i phone though, but I make em last till the end.

Reckon if you went to Burning Man full of excitement and positivity and had a copious supply of uppers, downers and everything else in between it'd be fun.

But if you started to question things, you'd be fucked and you couldn't get out of there quick enough.

Then again I could be wrong.

Anyway, I've been watching a few old Malcolm Douglas, Bush Tucker Man and even Leyland Brothers vids (like 70's vintage) and that looks more my speed these days, fourbie and a boat and off to the most remote places I could find, from Cape York to Arnhem Land to the Kimberley down the West Coast and beyond.

Yeah had a squiz at the bush doofs too, vaguely fun but just too many people out of it with something to prove/ social points to score.

Been to maybe two where there were young hoods on ice, bit of a dodgy scene and me being on drugs takes away situational awareness too much for my liking.

Camping on an island in FNQ sounds much better.

I’ve been seeking solace, fishing and waves with a fwd and a small tinny around our country for 25 years and the opportunity to do so is something I’ll be forever grateful. The best times I’ve ever had. The all-consuming black hole Mentawai Gold rush of the new millennium was a true blessing for those who searched domestically. I reckon Covid has tightened the screws on the mainland.....if you know what I’m getting at go there now before it’s too late!
