If you're looking for something to do this weekend, come out to COP to watch some downhill longboarding. These guys get flying, with speeds up to 90km/h. It can be pretty hairy in the corners.

It's free to watch, and takes place Tomorrow and Sunday. There are bands, food and a beer garden too so you can cool off.

Actually sounds pretty good. We'll see what happens this weekend. I don't know sweet F all about long boarding, but beer gardens don't suck very much...

I just found out there's going to be a webcast, so if you want to check it out to see if it's worth going, the stream starts at 9:30.
