We hit the track on Friday night and Ben threw himself in amongst the pack. He came in&#8230;last. Not bad for a guy running 75 gear inches and spinning his way into the future. Come along and watch him dominate next week!\u00a0 Naturally, that event was followed with a couple of beers and a mean bean curry at Liam&#8217;s place. That guy can cook up a storm.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday we threw Clinton onto his track bike, street gearing, sans brake. First street ride? Why not head out to Lauderdale? Some may say it was a mistake (Clinton included), but he was grinning all the way. Unfortunately a suprise hill, an emergency skid and the badly-timed unclipping of a shoe lead to a short, sharp meeting with a fence post. Safe to say we patched him up and kept rolling for a bit before retreating to the city.<\/p>\n<p>Next up, the skate park to watch some BMX crew shred it up. Canadian Dave was in full effect, having ditched the fixie for small wheels and a slightly smaller frame. Rain bailed it up and we headed to The Brisbane for the premier of Sam Orchard&#8217;s new Tassie BMX flick Forward Motion. Riders destroying it, awesome footage, well edited, rad tunes, can&#8217;t go wrong! &#8220;Best Australian BMX movie I&#8217;ve seen&#8221; according to an un-named source (Dave).<\/p>\n<p>A few too many jugs of beer later and it was time to hit a few parties and roll the streets in wobbles and skids. I&#8217;m fairly sure you can get charged with RUI, so let&#8217;s just count ourselves lucky to be fine-free.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday saw a seedy bunch crawl up the mountain and come down it at ridiculous speeds, given the previous night&#8217;s performance. No death, luckily. Dave rode 26 inches on dirt for the first ever and survived it like the laughing demon he is. Let&#8217;s hope it won&#8217;t be the last time.<\/p>\n<p>But for now, enough yapping.
