...I'm getting 'paid' to perform some tricks at an upcoming event at Ruapuna in May!! I did a display at a local Drift Racing event a couple months ago, just some wheelies, stoppies and rolling burnouts, and apparently the crowd loved it. So much so that I got approached by the promotions manager at Ruapuna yesterday and asked to do it all again. However this time they are willing to pay me, with a years free track hire at Ruapuna!. Working it out at $80 a day, two days a week, thats an $8000 package!! Sure I won't use every session, but I'll try my damn best.

So, I have just over a month to set about improving my shit. My stoppies are coming along well, and I'm now hitting the balance point on my mono's ok. But I need to add a few more tricks, different seating positions on the bike etc. Just wish there were a few stunters down this way to go out riding with.

But did I mention the years free track days!!!!

I demand video and photographs of the action on the day.

I know I know!!! Tuesdays and Fridays down here are open days, anyone can go out. The track is like 15 minutes from my place. It's farkin' brilliant, and all I have to do is pull a few wheelies and stoppies for lots of people. It's like telling a kid if he eats this bit of candy he can have all the candy he wants for a year!

So do I, so I'm going to have to get someone to film it. There was footage from the drift event but I have had difficulty getting the guy (a friend of a friend) to find the DVD.

There used to be a one armed guy that went to rallies in the S.I. on a ducati and he could do some amazing burnouts.He was hugely popular with the crowds too.Wasn't you was it?
Anyway hats off to a man that can stunt better with one arm then I can with two.
