How many of us cringe to see this sign of impending doom… It is our feared overlord (aka gaslor, aka petrol demon, aka Dick Cheney). He determines our weekly grocery budget, if we can ‘afford’ to surf or not and more importantly if we can purchase rare collectables from ebay.
However,
There is a unitarian solution to end this reign of terror.
Invented around the mid 1880s, and already utilised by our ‘frothing grommet’ population The Bicycle is becoming a fashionable, stylised mode of transport.
Exhibit a is what we like to call a ‘fixed gear’ bicycle. Note its clean lines and lack of brakes. Originally used in the velodrome these bikes have stolen the hearts of many inner city Americans, spawning a huge ‘fixed gear’ subculture. Whether in retalliation to rising petrol prices, the ineffeciency of cars, the dying planet or simply because they look cool… they are damn fun to ride.

WA’s local rag, the ‘Margaret River Mail‘, has been producing some fine pieces of late – one of which pictures Adam Leuhman at the Box recently.
Nothing special news-wise, though it’s 2-D proof that our western counterparts have been receiving some quality waves every day for the past two weeks.
Step three: Utilise those spin/roll skills against hordes of other hopefuls (including IBA top 16) at a fat, boring point-break in Cronulla.
Sounds enticing, doesn’t it?
Oh well, it’s a small price to pay for a chance to compete in the most renowned wave/competition in the sport of bodyboarding.
The No. 6 Brett Young Shark Island Trials will be held 27-29th June.
Been in hiding from the harsh blows of a violent wife? Had to sit tight in a desert bunker from the latest bout of jihad threats?
Well then we forgive you for not knowing that Mike Stewart, aka the godfather of Bodyboarding, is hitting up Eppo’s Bodyboard Shop at Mooloolaba on Friday June 13, at 3:00pm.
