A lesson in pursuing a passion, sheer perseverance, and unimaginable possibilities.
I stacked and everybody saw.
I was in the middle of the BMX routine, crusing the hang 5, into a hang nothing, back to the hang 5 and then, wallop! I was on the ground. I had no idea how it happened. But there you go. I was on the floor in front of everybody.
I Performed For The Most Delightful Little School.
For the best trick in the world I had half the school on my bike!
I Left My Fly Undone in a Show!
When I realised, I was super embarrassed. I quickly checked, and yes. My fly was wide open! This is how you solve a problem without anybody noticing!
The Start of Another Tour
Leaving for Casterton in South Western Victoria. Perseverance wins the day!
Last Show Before Travelling Home
I made it. 2 days of driving and I was home. Daughter got lots of hugs, too, but these were edited out.
Travelling Back Across the Nullarbor. The most amazingly stunning scenery!
It feels like I am on my way home. And I am. But there is a looooong way to go….
A 2Hr Detour for an Extra Show
I finished the last show in Perth and wasn’t sure whether I was driving to Broomehill or to Esperance. Everyone at the agency had finished for the day and were not answering any of my calls. Eek!
I ended up staying the night at a little town where I could either turn right to go to Esperance or go straight ahead to go to Broomehill. I got a call in the morning that Broomehill was going ahead which meant I had to leave straight away. It was a two hour drive and I was due to start in 3 hours. To give me an hour for setting up and warming up. Yikes.
No Time for any Warm-Up. Due to a series of unfortunate circumstances, I had no time for any warm-up. No riding, no juggling, no anything. Yet, it went spectacularly well. Sweet!
1.7cm made all the difference. Yep. I was trying to work out why I was struggling to do some of the tricks in the show. My seat was too high! But not by much. Yet enough to make a HUGE difference.
