Surface is very smooth hydroisolation coating, so perfect for riding.

Girl Talk Deconstructed
Girl Talk is a DJ out of Pittsburgh who has mastered the skill of constructing top 40 songs for the ADD afflicted. every song Girl Talk executes is stacked with samples from musicians across genres. Wired magazine recently broke down the song "What It's All About" and created a visual to display the 35 samples played in 255 seconds... crazy!! from Wired:
In the modern laptop era, any monkey with Pro Tools can make a mashup. But Pittsburgh-based computer maestro Girl Talk (known to the IRS as Gregg Gillis) has turned the cut-and-paste process into a jams-packed jigsaw puzzle. His latest album, Feed the Animals (released digitally in June with hard copies out September 23), brims with 300 song snippets in just over 50 minutes (compared to around 250 in his previous effort). "People want to see the bar raised," Gillis says. Below, a beat-by-beat breakdown of a single track.
