We stopped in Kaniva to get food. We saw fenced-in Wallabys, Kangaroos, and Emu's. One Emo too.
The place in this photo served fish with newspaper cooked into it. Why bother taking it off?

Josh rides a pig in Adelaide, Australia...
It has ben raining since we got here, and the demo was not what it could have been beacuse of the wetness... Plus dear sweet Kevin Barnett is sick as a dog, and I have prescribed him bedrest. So we had no filmer so far either...
Things are looking up from here!
Suffer the Joy of being sick in Australia, and getting rained on. SO much suffering.
Austin Either - Or...
Check out the always great SKATEBOARDER magazine for the details...
And since we are in Australia for two weeks. We may get LAZY on updates.
So cut us some slack!

TOY MACHINE Tour in Australia!
A small tour of 4 cities, with some time to film for SUFFER THE JOY.
Click here to SEE THE SCHEDULE...
Harm Nosegrinds, Grif Looks On
Old spot, Josh's go to trick, Grif handling slide duty, and Tempster lurking. All in a day's work.
"Suffer the Joy", getting closer by the day.
Enjoy the Aesthetics of an A-Stone Push
And know that there is a trailer lurking just around the corner...
"Suffer the Joy", a mental game as much as a physical one.
Harm Surveys the Horizon
Here's Josh checking out Lombard Street in SF. You can spy Jenna in the right hand corner, she's criddling in.
"Suffer the Joy", a crooked path to a unknown destination.
Filming is not always a bed of roses
Kevin sits in utter anguish after filming Billy for hours while he tried a line...
J-Lay gets the cover of a calendar...
The photo was taken off (by second-handed request?)For the following possible reasons:
1. The risk of possibly promoting the calendar to the possible market for it.
2. The idea that our site was letting the cat out of the bag. (and my response would be that any promotion for your calendar is good promotion, if you read the comments on the post you will see the POSITIVE feedback from the J-Lay fans who are GOING to buy it now.)
3. Perhaps letting the fans of Toy Machine riders' know about such a calendar in some ways will make them NOT buy it. But that sounds retarded.
Either way, sorry for bummin' people out, and getting people in trouble.

Josh on his first Toy tour!!!
So innocent! He hasn't changed a bit. Well a little bit, but not much. He is still excited to skate and always happy and fun to be around...

Toy Team signing - Saturady April 8th
OK, so the contest happened, and Billy was not feeling the wood and the soft asphalt, so he went out like a wuss and didn't pull anything. Matt B did some stuff, but Tommy Sandoval won, and Terrell Robinson got robbed. The whole team besides Diego was there to sign autographs. The people at Sun Diego were super nice to us. They are the shop that put up that giant window display... (scroll down to see it)If you are in San Diego, be sure to go there for all of your shopping needs.
It was a VERY POSITIVE DAY OVERALL.
Suffer the Joy filming heats up this summer...
And Kevin will be melting down all over the world, and Josh will be skating hotel parking lots all over the world...
...And Matt B will be showing the lazy pros what it is about...

Your wallet is gonna Suffer the Joy later this year, bung-scrapers...
