SAY WHAT AGAIN


If you've watched Pulp Fiction so many times to be aware that path of the path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men, than you will find Pogo's latest milkshake simply delicious.

REXUAL HEALING


Rex The Triangle made this for the Housse De Racket remix competition, but in the end he didn't make it for the challenge. Quite a pity because it could probably have won... but good for us because now it's a very sweet free download.
Out soon on Kistuné.

0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 . . .


The Fibonacci sequence is named after Leonardo of Pisa, aka Fibonacci, although the sequence had been described earlier in Indian mathematics in connection with Sanskrit prosody.
In the West, the Fibonacci sequence first appears in the book Liber Abaci (1202), where Fibonacci considers the growth of an idealized and biologically unrealistic rabbit population, assuming that: a newly born pair of rabbits, one male, one female, are put in a field; rabbits are able to mate at the age of one month so that at the end of its second month a female can produce another pair of rabbits; rabbits never die and a mating pair always produces one new pair (one male, one female) every month from the second month on. The puzzle that Fibonacci posed was: how many pairs will there be in one year?
At the end of the each month, the number of pairs of rabbits is equal to the number of new pairs plus the number of pairs alive last month. This is the Fibonacci sequence, which is intimately connected with the golden ratio.
Applications include computer algorithms such as the Fibonacci search technique and the Fibonacci heap data structure, and graphs called Fibonacci cubes. They also appear in biological settings,such as branching in trees, Phyllotaxis (the arrangement of leaves on a stem), the fruit spouts of a pineapple, the flowering of artichoke, an uncurling fern and the arrangement of a pine cone.

THE ART OF FLAT


If you think that skateboarding is all about rails and ramps, you're wrong. Flatland is where this sport was born: just you, your board, your shoes and the good ol' ground. Than one summer pepole dropped into empty pools and some hairy dude eventually got airborne. When they got back on the streets the ollie suddenly became part of the game, endless new possibilities were just ahead.
Enjoy the flip insanity filmed at 1,000 frames per second with a Redlake N3 high speed camera.



Since skateboarding trick names are defined by common usage and these tricks are not very common, some of them don't have well-established names. So here are my best guesses as to what they should be called:
  • Kyle McPherson -- nollie dolphin flip (AKA nollie forward flip)
  • Cameron Carmichael -- backside 180 casper flip (?) (or bs 180 hospital flip)
  • Jerrod Skorupski -- nollie heelflip bs body varial
  • David Case - nollie 360 shuv underflip (AKA nerd flip)
  • David Case - frontside shuv underflip (AKA kiwi flip)
  • Dustin Blauvelt - hardflip pretzel
  • Dustin Blauvelt - Merlin twist (switch front foot impossible fs 180)
  • Dustin Blauvelt - nollie heelflip indy grab
  • Shane Anderson - early grab frontside 180 fingerflip (?)
  • Jovan Pierson - pressure hardflip (?)
  • Jovan Pierson - ?? I don't know what this is, I just call it a Jovan flip
  • Erick Schaefer - backside pop shuv underflip
  • Tim Hamp - Nollie pressure hardflip (?)
