LONDON OLYMPICS 2012
With the Olympics just around the corner, not every Londoner is accepting the runaway hyperbole surrounding the city's big sporting carnival. We take a look at both sides of the debate raging in the capital.
"No country is ever the same once it has staged the Games", says organiser and former Olympic medal winner, Lord Coe. He thinks it's all "fantastic", but close to the action, in the shadows of the venues, you'll find eyeballs rolling with contempt."Everything has to be ploughed towards the elitist and the grassroots is neglected", says Johnnie Walker of the Hackney & Leyton League, who has lost 12 of his playing fields to Olympic parking. "All my familiar markers that I've known over 40 years have either disappeared or been enclosed in razor wire", says Hackney activist and writer, Iain Sinclair. Yet Olympian Yvonne Arnold argues the games will bring the community together and encourage a new generation of athletes. The new, world-class facilities will be around long after the Olympic torch has moved on. "Whenever I show people the gym I have a well of pride inside me". Love it or loathe it, it's going to be a hell of a show - but will London really be left in better shape when the games are over?

6 Months - Ewan Donnachie
"6 MONTHS" is a celebration of travel, adventure, mateship and the incredible waves that were on offer during the Winter of 2011.
From early April through until the end of September, Ewan Donnachie chased waves high and low at a frenetic pace, along with good mates Jase Finlay, Damien Martin, Chris James, Nick Gornall and assorted other riders.
The film provides a rare insight into the lives and mindsets of these free-surfers and the equally dedicated photographers and filmers who document their exploits.

Mountaineering in Alaska
It's springtime in Alaska, and John and Eric are eager to get some fresh powder riding in before snow season is over. They rally up the troops and head out on a 4-day mountaineering trip, where the clear conditions allow them to get some fun lines in. After some fresh snowfall, the boys hit one of the best kickers of the season, putting the perfect end to their last snowboarding session in the state of Alaska. The boys will now venture down south, and it's time for the Jackson brothers to kick off their boots and put on their board shorts for summer.
