The only possible brakes you can ever think of is ur hand pushing against the wind aka Airbrakes and your thick shoe rubber as brakes at 80-120kmph per hour..
It's a mind and physically challenge sport..

Featured in The Star, Metro and a few more other papers when this fella was interviewed..
I was once as crazy as him and was in his team for crazy stuffs going around consistent 70kmph..
armed with ur shoes as safety features.. all you can ever think of is avoiding cars to become their speed bumps and pure downhill SPEED! well.. no petroleum consumed.. just pure downhill physics.. I'm proud to be one of his pioneer street luge members around as well! hehe
both of us have a long story in extreme games last time if i wana start stories of us.. hehe i shall show more pics of his actions next time round.. for now.. a one picture up!

It's seriously a lot of stories if you want me to start with this fella..

This the start of my new Photo blog.. and it's really going to be This Is KJ.. and This is my seasons of my life encapsulated in this Blog.. well.. feel free to visit thisiskj.com for more emo post and random thoughts as well.. hahaha =P but for this blog site! =) it's a journey for the trust i put in my camera and we work together as one! =)
despite battles and warfare we've been together.. and the moments we might lose trust in one another.. the next moment we would just you know.. sit down.. chimping on the works my dear Alpha 700 does wonders and i would just learn a little more from it as it shows me how it show work at times when i need a fast aperture priority and it rarely fails me than myself to blame for my lack of knowledge.. =P

A journey ahead.. and my trust.. i put in you.. Sony Alpha 700 for i've forked out a fortune back in 2007.. for that's the gift of my life that i'll never regret it.. a new found journey that embarked me into various places.. enhancing pictures with the awesome DRO +5 and the vibrant diversity in Adobe 98 colours.. for if not your 5 FPS.. i wouldn't have seen so much light and movements in art itself.. and that it creates a huge amount of confident and trust whenever i pick you up.. never once i've mistreated you..
but there are accidents that happened recently.. but just know that i'll never give up on you.. never never.. never even till the day i need to change ur shutter.. nor blindness struck me.. all i need to do is trust on u.. and me that we can work together as a team! =) doesn't matter what lens we need to suit conditions.. nor aperture.. knowing there is always f42 on hand to shine our way through this dark stormy rainy wheather journey!

well.. now.. in 3 hours time.. i'll be traveling to Langkawi with my dearest @700! =)
Hopefully lord would bless us with a great golden hour @ 7am and whole new journey throughout Langkawi..
Praising you in this storm.. Let it shine through rain or storm..

For this is KJ.. for he aint' giving up at all.. thou just equip with just a kit lens.. haha =)

ARGH!
