Dave Cornthwaite
Amongst other things he has paddleboarded the length of the Mississippi, skateboarded across Australia, swum 1001 miles, written three books, stayed awake for 72 hours in a row without turning crazy, and for years has tried in vain to get Nutella to sponsor his adventures. But will he give up? Never!
I’m not a fan of small dogs, and I’m also far from mechanical, which is why you’ll find this video hilarious…

“Let’s give a thought…”
Which reminds me, across from my old flat in Camden there was a great little gym on the fourth floor. Two ways to get to it, stairs or elevator. I once spent a lunchbreak taking a survey. 86%, elevator.
Sometimes things just don’t make sense.
The perfect American Irony
Highlights from my Bikecar journey between Memphis and Miami in April-May 2012. How wonderful, to hop on a strange vehicle and let the wind (I wish!) blow five weeks of experiences in front of ones wheels. It provided challenges of many kinds but ultimately I will look back on this journey fondly, the small encounters make up the big pictures, I hope this video does my journey justice.
There are no words…
I can’t remember the last time somebody called me a ‘Numnut’ (see most recent comment) but I’m grateful for this occasion, because it reminded me of this video. The very beginning of a post-skateboarding project I began in 2007, called BounceFree. The idea: to break a world record on an Aquaskipper!

Sometimes hindsight makes us want to kick ourselves. Or wipe the crap off our phone…
Beware, the birds of Leicester Square…
