Ok, here's your chance to make a mark on an already original journey. Whether it's you on your own or a bunch of mates in the office or at the bar, there are endless possibilities here. All you have to do is think of a task for Dave to complete during his Australian skate. It can be taxing, embarassing (we like these the best) or just plain silly. Soon after your dare has been completed we'll send you an image (and maybe even some video footage) of your dare being completed. Your dare and everything that follows will also feature on this website during the journey. Go on, make him cringe!

Rules
- Your dare mustn't jeopardise the safety of the journey or the reputation of BoardFree!
- Your dare mustn't require the journey to re-route.
- Your donation must be a reasonable equivalent to the enormity of your dare. So if you want Dave to dress up as a kangeroo in December (the height of summer) then you better be prepared to put your money where your mouth is!
- Dave is open minded, but his decision on any dare is final!

Use the link below to submit a dare to Dave, then visit www.justgiving.com/boardfree to make the relevant donation. If you're unsure of how much your Dare is worth, mention this in your email to Dave and he will help you decide on a price.

Dares so far: (most recent Dares at top)

Another Neighbours Dare
Submitted by: Guy Stewart
Donation: £20 + 20 + 10
The Dare: Blag your way into an episode of Neighbours for £20. For an extra £20 convince the script-writers to tailor you a part as Lew Carpenter's long
lost son 'Simon Cotter' (he took his mum's maiden name when Lew split on
them). Simon is gay, wears an eye-patch and writes poetry. If that proves
too tricky then I'll give you an extra £10 if you wear a T-Shirt with
‘Cornish And Proud' written on it in all your scenes. The writing on the T
shirt must appear on screen at least long enough for people to read it.

Bouncy Ball
Submitted by: Sally and Gaynor @ Swansea University Alumni Office
Donation: £50
The Dare: The Alumni Office at Swansea University Dare Dave to bounce a Swansea University beach ball along at least 1km of the route, whilst skating. Photo and/or video evidence must be produced. (The beach ball - and a reserve - will be provided).

Poetry in Motion
Submitted by: Rime Hadri
Donation: £30.
The Dare: Compose a poem and perform it whilst on the board and you have 3 hours to do this task. All for 30 of your English pounds!

Bare Faced Cheek
Submitted by: Delia Farrer
Donation: £30.
The Dare: I dare Dave to get a tattoo on his butt...it's gotta be the best place...and THEN he has to wear his 3/4s or whatever preferable skating shorts/trousers attire with his buttcheeks cut out of them so we can see it! (I'm sure one of the girls Rae/Becki can do a bit of DIY tailoring in the van!) And of course, the photographer needs to get a good shot of this! The tattoo?? Well, a tattoo stating "DEE ROCKS" would be preferable but one saying "BOARDFREE" I suppose could do...hehe.

Wierd Photo Call
Submitted by: Tom Stubbs
Donation: £20.
The Dare: Go to the Sydney Harbour bridge and take a photo of the fun fare below it, it hasnt been used in ten years and the last time I saw it was in 2001, oh and it was used in a blur video. ALSO get a photo of my uncle's dog, I'll give you the address.

Race a Roo
Submitted by: William Clive
Donation: £30.
The Dare: Dave must race a form of exclusively Australian wildlife on his longboard, be it kangeroo, dingo, wombat, cassowary, etc. My only stipulation is that the animal must have a fighting chance in the race.

Getting smooth
Submitted by: Becki McKinlay
Donation: Offered £20. Rejected! Waiting for a better offer before embarassing myself.
The Dare: Dave has to shave his legs before he shears the sheep (see below)- always good to get practice.

Blowing the didge
Submitted by: Emilie Venables
Donation: £25
The Dare: I would like you to take up the challenge of playing the didgeridoo...  whilst on your longboard, of course...  And I want proof that you get more than a squeak out of it!

Soap Star No. 2
Submitted by: Dan Loo
Donation: £10
The Dare: If you can get on neighbours, with your longboard, and get me Harold's autograph ill give you a tenner

Soap Star!
Submitted by: Sarah Rosenberg
Donation: £30
The Dare: Get on Neighbours/Home&Away and spread the Boardfree message to Harold (or someone). Try and get in the foreground but just as an extra with your longboard would be wicked!
Dave's Comment: Hahhah, here goes nothing! It's a tough call for £30 but I'm game. Anyone else want to chuck some money at this one, it's recognition at its highest!

Catch, Shear, Knit
Submitted by: Leah Doherty
Donation: £50
The Dare: You have to find a sheep, shear it, spin it into knitting wool (not the sheep but the wool) and knit me a beanie hat. I will allow you to get someone else to do the spinning, but the hat’s got to fit me, as I intend to wear it. I'll send you some knitting needles. I’d prefer it if you knitted while skating, you may need a bag to hold the wool or it will unravel along the road. You will look ever so macho in the documentary going knit one pearl one. Please remember to clean the wool before starting. I have a real cartoon image in my head at the moment of you leaping off the board and the sheep absolutely bricking it. Please make my dare reality!
After Dave’s intervention the dare has been accepted with a couple of alterations: Dave has to do the shearing and at the very least start and finish the knitting process. The entire support team will contribute to the task in hand!

Donation: £30
The Dare: "One evening, dine on Witjuti Grubs after a long days boarding.
