SUSO

Fly Guy

“THERE'S NO REASON WHY NOT, I'VE GOT ARMS AND LEGS LIKE THE NEXT MAN - IT'S ALL DOWN TO WHAT'S UPSTAIRS.”
GUY MARTIN

Crowd favourites usually adhere to certain characteristics: The plucky lad who came from nothing, or the practical joker, or the enigmatic genius with a weakness for booze and women. Occasionally though, one comes along that breaks the mould. Guy Martin ticks all the right boxes - lad next door, joker, raconteur, prodigious talent. But what’s this? No scandal? No self-destruction? No. A healthy liver, no evidence of a leather-clad role-play dungeon, no gambling addiction. Just a lunatic virtuoso with skill beyond his years and unflinching courage in his convictions.

Mastery In Monaco

"IT'S A BADGE OF HONOUR. IF YOU DON'T COME OFF THIS TRACK WITH PAINT ON YOUR TYRES YOU HAVEN'T TRIED HARD ENOUGH." MARTIN BRUNDLE

Is anyone else getting a little tiny bit tired of the Lewis Hamilton post-race persona? It’s that meeting-the-parents, slimy kind of maturity that just seems to rub me up the wrong way. The faultless analysis of his pit strategy, the holier than thou praise for his team, the underlying arrogance that makes Formula 1 racing about him and no one else. Media sentiment is still very much on his side and, in spite of my bitter undertones suggesting that this has all gone to his head, so it should be.

Street Marvel

"I LIKE TO SEE THE SMILES ON PEOPLE'S FACE WHEN I SHOW THEM I CAN DO THE IMPOSSIBLE." MARVIN HAGLER

Today is the 54th birthday of ‘Marvelous’ Marvin Hagler, to many the greatest middleweight boxer of all time. In a sport characterised by rags to riches stories, this 5’ 9” scowling skinhead had a journey to the top that was as tough as any, defined as much by relentless hard work and perseverance as by natural talent.

God Went Surfing With The Devil

"A Katusha Grad rocket hit a mall in Ashkelon yesterday. Fourteen people were injured. The next day when we played at the beach, two Palestinian civilians and three gunmen were killed by IDF forces in the Gaza strip.”

Keep an eye out for this documentary. Skateboarder Alex Klein is in Israel and Gaza to tell the tale of life and surfing in the Middle East. Klein and his talented film crew are living alongside locals, spending day and night by their side as they laugh, eat, drink, surf, panic and cry.

Past Or Present?

WHAT WILL DECIDE THIS ONE NIGHT IN MOSCOW?

Champions League Final day is upon us, the culmination of an entire season’s work, every cone lapped in training, every early night, every time you chose grilled chicken breast over deep-fried wings, endured hot air on your face from a Fergie rant, or concealed a snigger when Avram chalked up a masterwerk on the tactics board. This is it, one night in Moscow, red versus blue, north versus south.
