was in the local paper

apparently got a legful of brown snake venom, luckily decided not to go for a kite

a while later he was getting pumped full of antivenom at the hospital and came close to heart failure etc, as most brown snake bites do

unlucky bugger was heading out for a session too, not coming in.

its funny.... only a kiter would seriously still consider going out for a session after being bitten by a snake. nothing should get in the way of a session.
I can so relate to that.

I think its the same with all people interested in kiteing or similar sports.

Point in question, I recently stacked it off my Freebord (bought from SOS, shouldve been a kite) and smacked my noggin on the road. Just thought it was a concussion or a headache and went for another ride or two, then went home feeling dizzy and went to bed after a few hours. Woke up and got shipped off to hospital with a blood clot on my occipital lobe.

and wat are those freeboards like???they look pretty mean

Snakes must be just wanting to get into the action lately. I was down at Blacks Beach (Mackay) a few weeks ago. It was some really crapy weather (for fishing or painting your house or something gay like that...) so the wind was blowin and rain was fallin. i raced to the beach to see this beautiful sight to confirm it twas whad id think... any way in all the excitement i ran back to da car and low an behold where i is gonna step next there be an anaconda the size of ayres rock.. that's right ayres rock.. not that other name. andy way it wasn't that big but i dont know who shiv more me or him because i wouldnt like me landing on me with the next step at full speed. you could have absailed off the goose bumps on my neck after seeing that puppy....

yep that's it..... but i saw one so i thought you should all know....
