Tony Hawk, in Dublin for the Websummit, did an impromptu demo in Bushy Park Skatepark [Terenure, Dublin 6] and skated with the locals – the crowd loved it. We tried this last year but it got rained out – this time we got the perfect day for it – he skated great and finished with a front flip at the end (last pic)…

Forty six, dude.

For the week that’s in it.

A new series of tv commercials for a well known and usually overpriced black stout that reinforces the greatness of what can be achieved if we choose to defy expectation.

Hic.

Clare Conlon

Clare Conlon played with Raheny United [football] and helped them win the Women’s FAI Cup against UCD Waves in the Aviva Stadium Lansdowne Road Nua.

Clare then joined Sarsfields [GAA football]  (of Laois) to help them beat Na Fianna (of Dublin) in the Leinster Senior Football Final at Clane GAA Grounds, Co. Kildare.

Super human stuff in fairness.

This morning.

Connacht Rugby captain John Muldoon bumps into Katie Taylor at Dublin Airport.

Katie is on her way to a possible fifth in a row world boxing title at the WQBA championships in the Jeju Islands, South Korea which gets underway on November 14.

Warning: dodgy refs.

The flip.

It’s back.

Aidan Murphy writing in today’s Irish Times

Among these flips is 18 Highfield Road, Rathgar, which was bought in August 2012 for €835,000 – it was in need of a complete overhaul. With this renovation complete, the house sold again last month for an astounding €3,300,000 – 10 per cent above its €3 million asking price
