Tell him I also am dissapointed in Adobes interpretation of dinosaurs. I specifically asked for pterodactyls.
How hard is it to use actual dinosaurs? I did also ask it to put King Kong on the radio tower fighting off the pterodactyls but it was completely off.
Well kong is also the Tony kart official dealer on the island ! Karting wise speaking .
This is for the kart owners…

I have been doing all of my photography on the iphone. It is pretty liberating in that the DSLRs and medium format cameras I used to use are all substantially larger and more involved. There’s a simplicity and immediacy to the Iphone that works well for what I do, similar to running around with a range focused leica rangefinder camera and just going “bang, bang” all day long. It’s nimble, not very adjustable, quirky. And, then, when you have an image, you go mess it up in Lightroom, so the captured look is irrelevant, basically.
I came across this vid for an older point and shoot that seems like it might be a similar experience with greater flexibility. The primary limitation of the Iphone is optical (emulated zoom). This has good glass (Zeiss) and is more robust in many ways, image-wise.
Its awfully pricey for a cam that came out in 2019.
Popular still. And price reflects that popularity!

Also, cool truck from Shiva’s Freight Hauling adventures:
@Stamatis125 some vintage Americana
Listen to your children
I submit an audio/visual content producer who parodies popular songs but in a karting context. Gene Racing is quite good and you should check his channel.
and now for something completely different… Rebel Scum post race interview technique:
This seems like a relaxing way to decompress one’s spine after completing one’s labors. @speedcraft Open wheel racing is not dead yet!
I wonder if the starts are weird
I have forgotten more things I’ve seen than I’ll ever remember, but some moments persist forever it seems… things like a strange memory of my back porch from when I was 3… things, people, places. Three of these permanent visual memories are from surfing, and, from inside the wave’s tube.
I have very fond memories of sticking myself in every barrell I could fit in, just to see the inside of the wave… fleetingly, before its translucent curtain collapsed. Waves big and hollow enough to fit a standing person into, while not exceedingly rare, are pretty darn special, and ANY barrel is worth exploring. A hollow wave is one of nature’s hidden treasures, a real jewel, and a most amazing world of light and sound.
As extraordinary as they are to look at, trailing a plume of golden smoke as the sun sets, and the offshore breeze cleans the swell, pushing the wave’s face steeper, holding the face back, delaying and focusing the wave’s power…being inside them is a whole n’other thing. The experience is many things, indescribable, and, for most of us beach-break bozos, exceedingly fleeting. The sound changes, too, in the green room, it is a cylinder after all!
The video above is the Wedge, famous for its shape and ability to hold size. There was a similar wave on Marine St. in La Jolla I used to have fun in, as a kid. The defining feature that they have in common, presumably, is a rapidly upward sloping shoreline, where the wave suddenly crests in a very vertical and very hollow manner. The catch is that there’s no there, there… meaning that the wave has run out of water and is breaking on sand.
Yeah, so as a kid frolicking about in the La Jolla waves, any tube was one you’d try to body surf or boogie board or whatever worked best. The big kids tho, I recall seeing some older teens who knew what they were doing surfing the Marine St. waves, which was a sight to see. You have to never get to the bottom of the wave, remember, no water… kick out or die and you must make the drop or it will drop you onto the ultimate reef… Terra Firma. (Surfboards and osteopaths ain’t cheap.)
In these types of breaks, the water that is thrust forwards comes back to the ocean real quick, (steep slope), thus the lip into the sand phenomenon. The other cool feature is all sorts of crazy reflection/refraction from water returning to the ocean… double waves, peaks that suddenly and instantly double in size as two waves merge, whipcrack waves. etc.
Oh yeah and you would come home 5lbs heavier. The turbulence was typically so violent that the h2O/sand ratio was such that every seam of clothing got packed by sand, forced in by the extreme and sustained turbulence.
Good fun small to medium sized, not so fun when it breaks necks etc. Anyways, these are barrels for barrel’s sake, who cares about the ride, really, when its all about chilling in the green room!
Anyways, TLDR: Barrels = Yes
I close with this photo I discovered of Kartist @RandallC getting deep somewhere in NJ.
Kewl! Art Music!
This is the moral equivalent of @Alan_Dove’s insane friends in super karts but with 5mil wetsuits and Great Whites prowling the straights. These gorgeous waves break very close to loose slabs and boulders from the coastal cliffs, wrapping around a point, of sorts.
The wave’s trajectory is such that blowing the drop puts the swimmer in danger of being carried into the shallower water and the big rocks. You must get up and going down the line, and prepare for the cavernous lip to appear overhead and the lights to dim.
Tow-in may have changed the scale of things, but this is big, and they are paddling into these fast and holllow waves. Respect!
I’m still not really sure what you’re talking about Dom but I DO love your selection of cars here. I want an old Citroen really badly. And the graffiti food truck would be an excellent kart rig. And the old Rolls Royce is pure class. My buddy is debating buying a similar vintage Bentley…
Good. That means I’m well on my way to old man shouting at the heavens. I sacrifice this GoPro mount to the Great Yello Dog of Kart Kombat as tribute to your endeavors.
How come there is a Citroen BX in the US ??
The Corsican Mob. Shhh! 
They do get imported occasionally. The BX is cool because it looks like a Gundam. I love the way the French have always designed cars. Not afraid to try weird and unusual.
Technically more a Citroen thing than a french thing. Renault/Peugeot were always a lot more consensual in their design. Citroen though, always weird
He plays a Hollywood talk show host wearing full body makeup and an entirely insane and believable personality.
He is a former SNL member, Oscar host, etc. in the states he is a huge talent but he is now getting old like Steve Martin see we don’t see much of him anymore.
Given how Americans seem to find Monty Python amusing, but the French find it incomprehensible, I wonder how various nationalities react to this humor.
