We informed you of all the mad parties and good times the Beastmangoat dudes were up to this month. Well, the rock ‘n’ rollers that camp out at the Lurking Hole have been busy updating their side of the website too. Flick through some pictures of this month’s previous festivities as well as a pretty photo report about bicycles and an online shop!
We may get in the shit for doing this, but, you know what, sometimes if you want the biscuit, you’ve got to risk it…
So, last week, Dom Joly was in a studio editing footage for a new show called Happy Now? It’s a hidden-camera sketch show he’s made exclusively for your mobile.
Happy Now? stars Dom’s legendary Big Mobile Phone Man character from Trigger Happy TV, who has swapped his big mobile phone for an enormous bluetooth earpiece! Check out the photo, which Dom’s PR people were happy to give us when we told them that we wanted to write about Happy Now?
What we didn’t tell them was that a friend-of-Crossfire’s was in the studio when Dom recorded some x-rated ringtones for his mates…and that he nicked them.
These ringtones are funny-as-fuck, they were never supposed to be heard by the public and we encourage you to download them now before we get busted.
Enjoy!

Andrew Reynolds is one of skateboarding’s finest, so when he decided to create a clothing line, Altamont, it came as no surprise to see that his gear was good. Teamed up with Fos on the pens and Bryan Herman on the planks, Altamont is set for a bright future.
It has been revealed that Andrew sets to release a limited edition, hand numbered Holiday collection on 31st October, in other words Halloween. Tricks and treats, eh?

Whilst most skate companies keep it conform, simple and mass produced like Ikea, elsewhere you can find a more refined skate company that proposes style, function and innovative design above sheer numbers. Habitat, like its interior design counterpart, is that company.
And now they are branching out across the oceans to launch Habitat Europe. The team consists of Mike McDernott for Canada, Petr Horvat (c.f. picture Switch BS tailslide c/o Freeman.wz.cz) for Poland, Gunez Ozdogen for Sweden, Adrian Morales for Spain and Manuel Margreitter for Austria.
