I got a couple of new toys in the mail today! Blog post on the other coming soon. I’ve heard a couple people recommend Lightscoop and they’re cheap enough that it became just an impulse buy. I still really suck at photography, but from what I can tell, it works quite well for the money. The most noticeable flaw with them, however, is that they’re pretty big and awkward shaped so I can’t imagine they’d fit well in any bag. Here’s the scoops and the bags they came with.

Travis Pastrana was in Austrailia, and Dave Mirra rolled his STi before he got to the spectator area. It was overall a lot of fun, even with the tons of annoyingly drunk people there. Getting belligerently drunk can be fun, but at this kind of event it’s just lame. This isn’t NASCAR. I digress, here are the pics.
