Hey guys,
how is everyone? Been riding much?
Was just surfing around and thought i'd let people know whats been happening for me lately!
well uni is pretty sweet, (UQ in brisbane for those who dont know), im doing physio and although its pretty full on i actually find it interesting and somehow find myself studying out side of class hours?! (bizzare i know!)
Ive stopped riding trials, but started to really get into dirt jumping and a bit of street etc... I ended up buying a santacruz chameleon frame (nice and light!) and put all the shiny red parts from my BT onto it
The other day i was riding at a place called 'ferny grove' with a few mates who own a bike shop up here (fortheriders.com) ... the jumps are fricken huge! so much bigger than anything ive ever seen in canberra -it has about 6 but i can only manage the first one so far. Theres another place called ashgrove jumps (funnily enough its in a place called ashgrove!) which is also pretty cool -ill take a few pics when im there next...
not much else has been happening really, ive made a few friends in my course, been studying and riding, and thats about it! Im still selling a bit of my old trials stuff if anyone is interested? BT frame, middleburn ring... check observedtrials.net if you're interested...
The night life up here is pretty sweet, theres a wicked pub called the RE (royal exchange) where you can get in wearing shorts and thongs.. It's like some kind of old 2 storey manor house thats been converted into a uni hangout and they always have live music -a bit like being at a house party in one of those tacky american teen movies (or so i would imagine..... Simon -care to confirm this?) -has anyone heard from him actually?
anyway, got a class so better run! can someone tell me how to post pics so i can show you guys my new ride and photos of the jumps etc..?
-charlie
ps, will be back in canberra in easter hols, so if anyone has a sore leg and needs physio let me know! (not the arm though, we havent done that one yet..or the torso...) -haha, no no, im joking, would probably do more harm than good at this stage!
