How old are you? 43.
What state do you live? NSW.
How long have you been riding? bmx '78-'85, work hard and get fat '86-'02, bmx '03, started mtb riding while still on a walking stick after bmx crash - mid '04.
Whats styles of riding do you do? pretty much all. mainly XC and road with a bit of trials at the moment. just dusted off the DJ machine so might get back to the 4x track soon.
How often do you ride? generally 4-5 days per week.
Tell us about your bike/s? Titus Fireline 29er SS seems to be the only bike these days, Speci Enduro (the brown bike....the one true bike), Surly 1x1 fixed, Speci Epic, Speci SX Trail, Evil DOC, Evil Imperial, Trek Madone, Orbea Aqua, Soma Rush Fixie, Avanti Pista Pro track bike, Speci S-works 24", Echo Pure Trials bike. + a collection of Old School BMX bikes.
Have you had any significant bike related injuries? got off the couch in '03. raced the ACT bmx champs, the Aussie Bmx champs, The World bmx champs, half the NSW bmx champs. The other half of the NSW champs I spent in hospital with a smashed Tibia and Tibial plateau. Spent 2.5 weeks in hospital, 2 months on crutches and 6 months on a walking stick and now have a constantly painful leg full of screws and plates and athritis. but, it did lead me to mtb'ing.
others - broken collar bone, broken ribs, dislocated shoulder.
Do you compete and at what level? mainly endurance and stage races these days when I can be arsed.
Any cycling highights worth posting? no
What forums/subforums do you visit the most on rotorburn? xc / enduro, downhill, road and track.
Whats your biggest or favourite rant? i hate moralising do-gooders. "mind your own business! I also have views on you and your behaviour but am not so arrogant as to press them onto you, noting that you have not asked for my opinion." would be the gist of my fav rant.
