So its been talked about as the newest, biggest thing in Bicycles. The new Cervelo P5 TT bike and i found a image of it this morning, or what we believe to be a image. Will have to wait till the official launch to see full pics, but this is apparently the new P5.

Enjoy and feel free to comment.

I’m a big fan of futuristic stuff and Loved the movie TRON and this is a mix of both, very cool, although not sure I would do it, I love guys going out there and pushing the boundaries for everybody.

I love cool new stuff with a taste of old skool. This is the perfect blend of a normal thing a kid would use and then modified and used as a extreme sport. I love it, living on the edge.

So as most of you probably know by now, Kim Jon il is dead. He was in most peoples eyes a monster and a dictator. I have been seeing a lot of things about him lately and most of them are pretty insane. Take this one for example.

Kijŏng-dong is situated in North Korea’s half of the Demilitarized Zone. It is one of only two villages permitted to remain in the  2.5 mile DMZ set up under the 1953 armistice between the UN and the DPRK.

The official position of the North Korean government is that the village contains a 200-family collective farm, childcare center, clinic, and primary and secondary schools. US and South Korean observation has noted that the village is basically empty.

The village was originally built to try to encourage South Korean soldiers to defect. The buildings were wired for electricity which was basically unheard of in the north or south in the 1950′s. Just as many parts of the capital of Pyonyang, Kijŏng-dong is built like a movie set. Most of the buildings are just concrete walls with no interior at all. Some of these buildings even have painted on windows. To keep up the illusion of a city there are workers moving about from time to time doing small tasks such as cleaning sidewalks.

The South Korean government put up a 323 ft. tall flagpole with a South Korean flag in the farming village just across the border called Daeseong-dong. The North Koreans countered shortly thereafter and put up a 525 ft. tall flagpole.

Up until 2004, DPRK had large speakers put on several of the buildings that continuously delivered North Korea propaganda broadcasts directed towards the south. The content originally consisted of promoting the North’s virtues and telling disgruntled soldiers and peasant farmers to walk across the border. As its value in promoting defections proved rather useless, the 20 hour a day content was switched to anti-Western propaganda speeches, Communist operas, and North Korean military songs.

I think the world is a better place without this person in it.

Puma did another cool thing this past week with Toitoy, if you don’t know this cult shop, its in Kloof street in Cape Town and they do the coolest Toys, most of which are collectables and meant to be kept in glass boxes. This colab was with 12 chosen artists, they got a blank Doll and blank Shoes and had to do a matching set. They then were show cased on a special evening where you had the chance to buy the sets which ranged between R 2850 and R 3200

Here are my favourite 3 with no particular order :

As you know I am a huge movie fan.. So trailers rock my world, see the new G.I JOE 2 trailer here… 6 months wait, but should be well worth it.

PUMA LAUNCHES NEW BULLS RUGBY KIT

Cape Town, South Africa, 13 December 2011 – PUMA^® has unveiled the striking new kit that the Vodacom Bulls rugby team will sport in Super Rugby 2012. The shirt’s “smash” design is inspired by the phrase “bull in a china shop” and expresses the strong and powerful playing style of the Bulls.

The graphic takes the physical characteristics of a bull and translates these into a warrior-like aesthetic suited to the Bulls combative rugby style. The complexity of the design, which combines a chevron-like effect, is designed to distract opposition players.

PUMA has a long-term deal to supply full technical kit to both the Vodacom Blue Bulls and Vodacom Bulls rugby teams, and is the official distributor of the teams’ match replica gear.

PUMA South Africa’s CEO Ronald Rink says: “PUMA is extremely excited about the launch of our first Bulls Super Rugby kit – Bulls management and players love the new design direction and inspiration and we are looking forward to seeing the shirt in action on the pitch early next year. PUMA wishes Pierre, Wynand and the rest of the team and management the very best of luck for the coming season and we look forward to seeing the Bulls fans out in support for the new era of Bulls rugby.”

“PUMA is a brand that is young, dynamic, adventurous and proud. As a Company we constantly strive towards such pillars and so see great synergy between these brands. We look forward to launching our new playing kit within the next few days, a kit that we believe adequately reflects our style of play and rugby ambitions,” said Barend van Graan, CEO of Blue Bulls Company (PTY) Ltd.

Loyal supporters will be pleased to know that the Super Rugby replica shirt will be available from 15 December 2011 and will retail for R599.

So as you know our boat had some bad luck and the boys have managed to find some land to rest on while they wait for the repair stuff to arrive. With less than nothing to do the boys found the world’s most remote golf course with some interesting locals on it.

So its the month we all get to walk around looking very dodgy and some of us get to be slightly more superior than other due to our overall amount of hair growing skills. At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter as long as you growing something and giving a little something to Prostate Cancer.

I am in Phase 2 of mine already and the end goal is to get it to twirl, using a little wax to get the end pointed or twisted up later on for some class…ha haa

Not sure how long its going to take but I am going to be going on after November to achieve it. Hope the Hair Gods are favouring your efforts this month and long live the Hairy lip.

Feel free to show me your MO on twitter, just send pic to @collinallin and I will retweet it to the world and show them your glory.

Global sportlifestyle brand PUMA^® today unveiled the new South African national team football kit at the opening of a month-long exhibition, Interpretations of Africa: Football, Art and Design, at the Design Museum in London.

Star footballers including Bafana Bafana captain Steven Pienaar, Samuel Eto’o of Cameroon, John Mensah of Ghana and Yaya Touré of Ivory Coast attended the launch of the exhibition, where the Bafana Bafana kit is exhibited alongside new kits for PUMA’s other African teams – Ghana, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Algeria, Namibia, Senegal, Togo, Gabon and Burkina Faso.

South African artists Hasan and Husain Essop designed the new Bafana Bafana kit. The brothers are among a group of artists from the Creative African Network www.CreativeAfricanNetwork.com commissioned to design kits inspired by their country’s heritage, culture and traditions.

The kit, which Bafana Bafana will sport when they play against the Ivory Coast in the Nelson Mandela Challenge on Saturday 12 November, includes a rainbow graphic inspired by the phrase “Rainbow Nation” coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

So in true PUMA style we launched another beer this weekend, some of you might remember the UNITY beer we had during the world cup which was a massive success so we decided to do it again for the VOLVO yacht race.

I was lucky enough to get to have 1 or 6 of them on Saturday and I got to say that they are lovely. They do kick a little hard though with a 6.5% alcohol content but they go down smooth. This is what officially what was said about the Colab with BREWERS & UNION :

To celebrate PUMA’s entry into the 2011-2012 Volvo Ocean Race, PUMA and Brewers & Union have collaborated once again to produce a unique Lager, KREECHR.

PUMA’s entry into the race, Mar Mostro – the “Monster of the Sea” – has its own personality. It’s the story of a boat that sailed around the world, and somehow the boat and the oceans became one. With sustainability as a focus for PUMA, it was important to bring respect for the waters and sea life into a central design theme.

“Brewers & Union has produced yet another fine craft beer, this time in support of Mar Mostro’s endeavours in the upcoming Volvo Ocean Race. KREECHR takes its inspiration from the tough sailing conditions that Mar Mostro will face during the race, and is crafted extra strong,” said Brett Bellinger, Marketing Director for PUMA. “We are looking forward to celebrating with skipper Ken Read and the rest of the PUMA Ocean Racing team over a couple of KREECHR’s during the Cape Town stopover, taking place from 25 November to 11 December at the V&A Waterfront.”

Rui Esteves of Brewers & Union says “We created KREECHR in very limited quantities (600 cases) especially for PUMA in celebration of their entry in the 2011-2012 Volvo Ocean Race. This full-bodied and gorgeously malty strong lager packs a punch at 6,5% alcohol and yet is silky smooth with hints of apple and honey on the palate. It pours a clear and deep golden colour with a biscuit aroma and a fruity, floral hop accent.”

Here is the boat we are racing this year, expect to see huge activation for us and the race around the 27th Nov for 3 weeks.

And here is the Beer they call KREECHR… be careful they bite

OK, so I have a carbon sickness, I’ve had it for as long as I can remember. 1 day when I am big I will learn how to work with it and build my own stuff, crazy stuff, some of it just stupid but will be because I can. I came across this guy today and fell in love with what he has done…Just because he can

I am not sure how it would ride or how much it weighs or how aerodynamic it is. Instead I stand up and start a slow clap for the inner child who loves to play, the man who embraces it and does things for no reason other than Because he can.
