Tasmania on a BMX week 2
Touring Tasmania on a BMX, week 2, is now up on youtube. I go over the pre-show warm-up as well as showing some phenomenal views of Hobart and Mt Wellington. As well as the whole school encouraging a little preppy as he gets on the bike with me for the grand finale. And a chook.
My first week touring Tasmania. It was absolutely amazing. Gorgeous country side and great audiences! Check it out:
Flat Tyre, Flat show, Flat Scott
When you do enough shows, everything will go wrong. Failure is inevitable. So what do you do about this?
The Unthinkable
It happened. I had been wondering when I would have a flat tyre on stage. Turns out it would be at the Woodford Folk Festival. I grabbled spare bike and went on with the show.
Woodford Folk Festival—The First Show
Whoa! I almost collapsed!!
The Last Three Shows
It came down to this. The last show. The last big trick. And I couldn’t do it!!
So. Much. Driving. And also, EMUS!! (Eem-you-s)
Maintenance Before the Show
Quickly straightening the rear rim before I go on!
This is what you don’t want to happen during the show
Kilkivan
I learned that it is pronounced Kilkivan, not Kilkivan. However, I like Kilkivan so I am going to call Kilkivan, Kilkivan.
