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.
Play it Safe. The Sydney Opera House 50th Anniversary song by Tim Minchin is wonderful. I feel that it speaks a very similar message to what my show speaks. Bravo!
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!
My Tyres Exploded!
I bought 6 of these Eclat Mugen tyres. 2 for show bike, 2 for spare bike, and 2 spare. $75 each!! 3 of them have exploded, or were about to explode. As much as I really liked these tyres, I cannot trust them and have bought some Odyssey Frequency G’s instead.
Time to Find a New Riding Spot
Well it finally happened. My riding spot has been bulldozed to make way for a hyperspace bypass.
Spare Bike Gets a Make-over!
I have two bikes. Show Bike and Spare Bike. Show Bike is for shows and spare Bike is the back-up in case something happens to Show Bike. During the WA tour I had to use Spare Bike because the brakes were being strange on Show Bike. I couldn’t fix them because I had also just discovered that I had left the majority of tools back in Melbourne!
Everything went well, however, there were a few things that I needed to refine. The brake levers and the tyres.
Here you go, Spare Bike’s Makeover
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!
