Prowling the internet for something to read today I stumbled onto something pretty cool. It’s called ‘Sanza Hanza’ which means ‘King Surfer’ and is a photozine and upcoming mini documentary. Basically there is a crew of kids called V.I.R.U.S (see title for meaning) from Soweto, South Africa’s largest ghetto. Whilst dealing with the pressures of being impoverished and not representative of the western views of SA they are also a fucking insane bunch of daredevils! What benefits do they get from doing this – I don’t know and frankly I don’t give a shit, what matters is that they do it and it’s fucking badass!
‘TUPAC’

Seven performs a trick called 'Graveling' which basically involves dancing along the moving gravel at 45 mph to create the illusion of running at the same speed as the train.

Peep teasers from the movie at the STREET CARNAGE BLOG. If you want to order the photozine and can part with your hard earned 4 pound sterling then it’s available to buy as well.

I might even see if i can catch the tide on the way to B-town this weekend, just need to figure how I’ll open the doors to get outside the trizzzain…. and on that note.
