Time for a little bit of shit talking I guess. It’s been 6 weeks since my shoulder reco which means imp not wearing a sling now and I can start doing Physio, with Back In Motion of course the best dam physio out there. It’s been a slow 6 weeks but imp ready to start getting some movement back and do the training thing. I’m booked in to get my wrist operated on tomorrow morning. It’s about time because I can’t use it and its really getting on my nerves. Anyways it’s a big op and it’s going to take at least 3 months to heal.

Apart from the injuries everything has been good. I went up to Gladstone for a couple of weeks and hung out with my family and friends, it’s always good seeing them. The last couple of days I’ve been back into training with Lucchi from Extra Edge Performance, doing what I can with 1 arm anyway which is still a fair bit. I’m the lightest I’ve been since I was 18 and still dropping weight (LOVING IT)

Soooo there wasn’t much shit talking there but my life is kinda boring at the moment. Just hanging out at the Gold Coast, Training with Lucchi, eating at Wahoos fish taco’s Burleigh every day, Playing a shit load of Play station and I thinks that about all I have for you’s. I’m outa here, the PS3 is calling my name.

I think the last thing I was saying was that I was going to have a ripper of a year, well things haven’t gone to plan.  After the weather came good at the Gold Coast I was practicing quite a bit and realized my wrist was starting to hurt. In true Sauly fashion I just put up with the pain and tried to push through it. We Had a Showtime show at a school right here on the Gold Coast which was cool because it was all about safety. I don’t know how safe it is doing what we do when you can barely hold onto the bars. Anyways I got through that show only to go straight into the Gold Coast Moto Expo the very next day, this was a 3 day event. Strapping my hand and having pain killers just weren’t helping the pain so it was one hander landers the whole weekend. On the last day I also did a one hand hart and my shoulder popped out. If this has happened to any one they will no that’s some scary shit. I somehow floated back onto the bike and rode out of it to just miss taking out a fence.

It was off to the doctors I go. Wrist report was – torn ligaments and a whole lot of damage in there. Shoulder report was – way too much damage in there (this had been wreck for about a year already). The doc said if can just put up with the pain and my wrist should be ok, so I tried that but while I was at Jacko’s practicing for the Crusty Cup event at the F1 in Melbourne I injured my hand even more. I flew home straight away and booked in for a shoulder reco and while I’m out with that I’m also going to get the operation on my wrist. The bad news is that I’ll be out for about 6 months. Hopefully it won’t take that long though, then I’ll be back on the bike with a new shoulder and a new wrist and ill be hanging off the thing in no time. The good news is that I will no doubt have some fresh new scars to show off to everyone. I love Scars.

I may not have much to talk about over the next couple of months but I’ll try my hardest to think of a story or ill just make something up for every ones amusement ha-ha. Well it’s a Saturday night and while everyone is out drinking or doing whatever they do I’m here typing this and getting up early for run. See ya’ll soon

Well it’s that time of the year so I guess I should tell you all what my plans are for 2012 and also what’s been going on over x mass and new years.

My last Show of 2011 was at the Melbourne Sexpo and geeeez I wish I could do that show all year round, good times. Anyways the remainder of 2011 was pretty cruisey as I didn’t have any shows and it was coming into X mass. I packed all my stuff and headed up to Gladstone to spend X mass with my Amazing family. Way too much drinking and eating went on but I think everyone is in that same boat so I don’t feel bad at all. I bought myself a Uni cycle as a present so when that day comes that I can’t ride any more, at least I can be a professional Uni Cycle rider ha-ha (I don’t like my chances)
Time for the New Year celebrations. We thought we would mix it up this year and decided to go to Thighland ha-ha (I know its Thailand) I’ve been told so many stories about what it’s like over there and yep it definitely was a different place. We knew a few people that owned bars at patong beach so that was our main stomping ground. 10 days of solid good times were had, but there is no place like home so I was more than happy to come back.
It was time for my first show of the year at Mulwala. I hadn’t ridden for about 4 weeks so I was a tiny bit worried going into the show. I was a little sketchy but it didn’t bother me to much as I survived the first show YAY and I also had Bilko, Mini and Burchy there to throw down.

This year is going to be a ripper of a year. I have recently signed full time with the Showtime FMX team and also I will be wearing Jet Pilot casual gear. The weather has been horrible here, not too much riding is going on at all so I’ve been doing strength and condition training with Lucchi here at the Gold Coast at Facebook.com/Extra.Edge.Performance. I’ve been training really hard off the bike so I can’t wait to see if it helps me out on the bike.
Alrighty I think that’s about it for now. Till next time Seeup

G’day everyone. I’m at home with the flue (maybe from partying too much) and I thought there would be no better time than now to get on my very slow laptop and do a quick story. Last time I was about to go do some shows at the EB Games convention. It would have to be one of the best places for a show, 10 minutes from where I live, in doors and a shit load of people there. Half of the people were wearing costumes like the Legend of Zelda and some even looked like they popped straight out of the new Call of Duty game but they were still going crazy for the things we were doing on our bikes.

Next up was the start of the Super X rounds and first up was Melbourne. It wasn’t looking good from the start as it was suppose to rain all weekend. It wasn’t too bad the day before the event then traditional Melbourne weather really turned it on for us the day of the event. We didn’t even take our bikes out of the Showtime truck because it pretty much poured down all day which sucked because Burchy and I missed out on riding at the Gold Coast v8s that were on at the same time. We Still managed to make it back for the Sunday afternoon party which is always fun. We were getting ready to do the next Super X round then got a call on the Thursday afternoon saying we have been cancelled from all the Super X rounds cause of the weather.

So Burchy Bayard and myself loaded up the van and headed up to Rockhampton for the last round of the Underground tour (The Unit FMX Pro Open) thanks to the boys that let us enter right at the last minute. The comp was run so well and it has come a long way. I ended up getting 2^nd behind Luke McNeil. My near death experience went like this……….. Semi finals, last jump. Went for a seat grab indy flip, had a bit of a brain fade and pulled like a KOD flip, missed the grab and ended up doing a one handed KOD flip (note my flip levers were down) then grabbed back on with that hand and somehow my right shoulder hit the front guard and I managed to lever myself back onto the bike and landed it. Unfortunately my feet didn’t land on the pegs and both hit the ground. My left ankle got the tingles straight away like maybe something cracked. I still managed to finish the day with 2^nd so I’m stoked. I maybe should have went and got it x rayed but I didn’t want a doctor to tell me yeah its broken and you have to have it in plaster for 6 to 8 weeks so I just stayed off it for 3 and yeah it still hurts ha-ha.

We got a last minute call to do to the Sand Down v8 round in Melbourne. It was a very cruisey event and we had fun as always. The Saturday show was crazy. It started to spit when we just got out on track then 1 jump into it started to rain heavy. We couldn’t see and it looked like we just went for a swim in all our gear but we still managed to do a quick show. Now that was scary.

Alrighty the best event of the year, MELBOURNE SEXPO. WoW  I could just stop there ha-ha. PORN STARS, HOT NAKED CHICKS EVERYWHERE, 5 NIGHTS OF SOLID PARTYING but that was fine cause our first show each day didn’t start till 3pm. Let’s just say good times and by far the best event of the year. I’m outa here till next time. seeup
