Go Skateboarding Day (June21)

What It’s All About: On June 21 skateboarders around the globe will celebrate the pure exhilaration, creativity, and spirit of one of the most infuential activities in the world by blowing off all other obligations to go skateboarding. OK, most skateboarders do this every day of their lives, but this is just one more reason to blow off your television/computer/video games and go skateboarding!

Skateboarders everywhere will show their love and support for skateboarding by holding fundraisers, contests, protests and demos. They’ll skate across cities, gather in skateparks, stream into their local skate shop and some will even revel in the solitary act of skateboarding alone at their favorite spot, all bringing together the skateboarding community in the grind heard around the world.

Founded by the International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC), Go Skateboarding Day gives passionate skateboarders as well as those who are simply inspired by skateboarding, the opportunity to drop everything and get on a skateboard.

Kayuh kat SARAWAK

ORIGINAL POST from http://matkedah.com

Sebenarnya aku dah lama nak kayuh.. tapi aku rasa lepas balik kayuh OFF ROAD bulan 6 lepas.. MERIDA aku kena pantang sebab dah buat hal... rim dia gelong lepas aku cuba naik kat kawasan matang sorang2.. Tapi masih tak hantar repair pun.. Malaih.. dok tangguh2 sampai laa hari nie.. AKU NEKAD.. untuk lepas pantang kayuh... So lepas bangun tido aku kata, mau tak mau aku mesti kayuh sampai bandar Kuching dan update blog MATKEDAH.COM related to mtb xtvties....


Masa aku baru nak sampai Kuching Waterfront, tayar berlakang aku buat hal.. bocor.. mau tak mau aku kena tukar tiub...



Ambil gambar dulu sebekum tukar tiub...



Lepas settle semua... aku mula aksi penggambaran MERIDA...



MERIDA berlatarbelakangkan Sungai Sarawak....



Fort Magherita....



Seberang Sungai Sarawak tu, Dewan Undangan Negeri SARAWAK... gah besar... depa banyak duit.. minyak.. sumber alam banyak boleh laa buat mcm2...



Kat Waterfront ni kalau hangpa SARAWAK (Kuching) tak sah singgah... mesti kena jejak kaki...



Feri tu utk riadah sepanjang Sungai SARAWAK...



Ini simbolik kepada .... aku pun tarak tau...



CaNTIK kan ukiran seni SARAWAK



Kalau hangpa mai Kuching tak sah singgah kat KUCING tiga ekor ni...



Ex housemate aku masa study kat UM dulu.. Wai. dia mai SARAWAK atas utusan kerja... Mlm nie balik laa dia ke semenanjung.. jumpa kat depan Hotel Magherita..



Sebelum pulang aku pi melantak.. kat Coffe "O Corner.. famous juga makan kat sini...



MERIDA melintasi Sungai SARAWAK sebelum menuju ke MATANG JAYA... panaih sungguh hari ni..

MAT KEDAH - Night Off Road Sematan, SARAWAK

Wow...... Ini my first NIGHT... jangan silap yer..not 1st Night after getting married.. But this is my first NIGHT OFF ROAD RIDE. I can conclude this ride as the most adventerous ride I ever have at NIGHT..... I am going to Sematan for real SARAWAK OFF ROAD.. Sematan located 130km from Kuching... detail you can refer to http://matkedah.com

11.58am aku dah terpacak tunggu Abang Feirus kat depan taman Yen-Yen

Boring menunggu aku ambik laaa gambar.. Nampak gunung tu.. Itu laa Gunung Serapi..setiap hari kerja aku akan ke Gunung Serapi sebab POLITEKNIK KUCHING betul-betul terletak kat bawah kaki Gunung Serapi.

Abg Feirus... memang cool saja... Best dengar cerita org banyak experience dlm beskal nie.. Dia nie plan nak tour Europe in next 2-3 years... Good Luck bro...

Berhenti kejap kat tepi jalan.. Abg Feirus checking his LPG piping connection before continue the journey.. aku dah risau dah sebab meter minyak keta Arena dia dah "E"... kedai minyak pun terletak 80km ahead... So tawakal sajalah katanya...

On the way.. few cars / jeep over take us.... mungkin semua dah tak sabar....

Sematan take left.. another 24km.. Lundu right only 3km.. but we are going to Sematan.. Sematan here I come.....

Dah pun sampai.. Off load all the MTB....

MERIDA..akhirnya kita ke OFF ROAD juga...... aku dah kemaruk nak ride off road...

Sentimental value...

eh siapakah itu.. "MAT KEDAH" sudah kembali...

HID lamp Battery... his owner gave it to me as a souvenir... THANK YOU very much "AH PING"

All ready for night OFF ROAD trip... sebenarnya masa abg feirus call malam jumaat lepas.. he did not mentioned the ride will took until Night... so I am not preapared for NIGHT GEAR... I left everything at home... luckily with the kindness of "Ah Ping Kuching rider" he first borrowed the HID lamp to me and then.. gave it as souvenir.. THANKS Bro...

Lepak kejap.. makan biskut tiger ker bang..??? left Abg Norseman

Tunggu... rileks... rehat.... jalan...

Layan tido kejap.... jam dah 4.45pm

Kesian abg kassim sebab terjatuh masa downhill...

Semangat kental tak melunturkan semangat Abg Kassim untuk terus kayuh.. walau terluka teruk... Kami respect...

Gathered...

Dari kiri Abang Kassim, Feirus dan Jumry.. kalau nak tau..depa nie adalah cyclist pertama yg aku jumpa kat Kuching...

ramai wooooo....

Cantik pemandanga Gunung Pueh... Kalau orang kedah kata.. PUEH tu... maksudnya PUAS.. Pueh sungguh aku kayuh kali nie..

Downhill...

Pukul 5pm kami tiba di Rumah Renjer Gunung Pueh.. rehat sekejap 5minit sebelum kembali meneruskan perjalanan..

Baca sendiri laaaa Papan Tanda tu...

Kameraman yang tak putus2 ambik gambar kami... Bro.. sorry lupa nama daaaa...

River crossing..

Oit... tunggu apa lagi.. takut air ker bang...??? he he he..

Masa sampai kat sini, kaki aku dah menunjukkan simptom-simptom nak CRAMP... hancit betul... itu laa akibatnya kurang kayuh.......

let go guys....

wa la wei.... cayalah..

Turn back, turn back.. sudah silap jalan... jam 6pm..hari dah semakin gelap..

Laluan jambatan kayu untuk 4WD...

Terrain kat sini memang berbahaya...

Tu dia.. pantai dah nak sampai...

Apa laaa 4WD nie... org nak lalu pun susah...

Pantai Sematan... Ini kawasan belum tercemar... sebab hanya boleh dimasuki oleh Mountain bikers dan 4WD sahaja...

Semua puas..

Yeahhhh....

Dok repair apa lagi tuuu bang???

Maghrib dah....

Letih.. cramp... puas...

Senyum semua.. kasi hensem...

Kepuasan....

Macam-macam aksi....

berlatar belakangkan Gunung Pueh

Memang cantik bumi kenyalang nie... tak sia-sia aku mai Sarawak..

Senja menjelma.. aku kat sini lagi...

Jom laa balik..hari dah nak gelap nie...

Jom balik..... yehaaaaaa... 7pm start kayuh..

Dah tak nampak apa dah...

yg tinggal hanya lampu...

Nasib aku cukup baik.. ada HID light... suluh jgn tak suluh..

Berhenti kejap atas bukit tunggu yg lain2 gather up...

Memang tak nampak apa.. skill dan experience diperlukan...

Nampak dak lampu suluh kat belakang tu.. rider coming...

Bang nak gi menoreh kaaa....???? he he he

Tak nampak apa dah... aku just follow kat belakang saja.. jangan cramp dan kena tinggal udah ler.. kalau tidak menangis aku kat Hutan Sematan nie...

Deretan lampu beskal... cantik wooo..

Tunggu team di belakang...

Nampak tak lampu jauh di sinun..

Dah menghampiri..

Kami redah laluan Off Road single trail untuk sampai di kampung Pueh...

Alhamdulillah dah sampai kat satu penempatan.. aku tak ingat..

Merida..hang akhirnya kayuh off road malam yer..

Masa kat sini kami tunggu geng yang tertinggal kat belakang..

Kemudian masuk Off road kembali, single trail... sebelum sampai kat Kampung Pueh... Lepas refill air kat situ kamera aku dah kehabisan bateri (fully out)... Tak dapat aku snap gambar lagi... Tapi yang boleh aku cerita kat sini, lepas keluar dari kampung Pueh, kami Off road lagi menerusi kawasan sawah padi (kalau kat Kedah kita panggil jalan atas batas Ban).. berapa kilo aku tak ingat dah... Lepas tu masuk kembali jalan On road yang kami mula-mula kayuh petang tadi... Kami complete ride at 9.30pm.. Wow.. dan aku sampai rumah 11.45pm.. memang BERBALOI...
