Describe an average weekday…

Wake up at 7:30am, shower,coffee then head off to work at Sealy’s Cycles in frankston, spend the day fixing and selling bikes then depending on the weather go hit my local park, Mt.Eliza (which has lights) until i’m to tired to ride, then go home and sleep in my sweet caravan!

What about the weekend?

Well I work every Saturday so Friday nights are usually pretty relaxed, Saturday nights usually involve finding a dance floor and destroying it and sometimes operating heavy machinery! Sundays my buddy Arron and I get an early start on a day’s riding that includes a history lesson on BMX and or Earth moving machinery and a pot and parma with mash potato if you can get it.

Newest part on your bike?

I just built up a chrome Colony “Prody” frame with some Hardy The Puppy 4leg bars which I’m mega super stoked on!

Fix tubes or new tubes?

New tubes!

Random story from your local park?

A few ratty kids ordered a pizza to the park with out enough money and when the delivery dude got there and found out they had no cash he flipped out, got back in his car and took off in a rage.. he ended spinning his car out in the gravel car park and having the whole park cheering him on!!
