Sauly practises the 360 into Cam Sinclair's foam-pit. Looks like he's got 'em dialled. Let's see 'em to dirt, buddy!

I’m sitting on the Air Train from the Gold Coast to the Brisbane airport with Brad “The Cuddler” Burch and let me tell you it’s times like this I wish I had my own private jet.
After spending a couple of weeks at Jackson Strong’s place, I learnt how to ride again and started doing all my big tricks like I used to. If you spend a couple of weeks at Jacko’s you know your riding is going to get a lot better, you’re going to get up to a bit of mischief and you’re definitely going to see a lot of nakedness whether you like it or not.
It was time for another Showtime event at St Kilda, which has about 300,000 people walk though during the day. I had an awesome weekend with the Showtime crew, Matt Mingay doing skids and wheelies on his Harley (everyone loves a burnout), and Monster Energy also had their sweet decked-out truck on display - that thing is real NOICE. Oh and don’t forget the smoking hot Monster babes. I was lucky enough to get a signed calendar from one of them (I swear that’s all I got) ;)
Saul Whip-Flips the his Showtime FMX riding buddy Brad Burch at the Avalon Air Show.
All the shows were spot-on except when the wind came up at the end of the day, but we still did what we do and finished on a good note. The next round of shows was for the Canberra Royal Show. Conditions being pretty tough with wind and wet grass. The only time I was getting traction was on the ramp, which made things pretty scary.
We ended up driving from Canberra to Melbourne to ride with Sincs and Bilko for the week. I ended up flipping really small gaps off a standard ramp, which is pretty cool to see (so the boys tell me). It’s kinda gay, but it’s really helpful when it’s too windy and we can only do smaller-gap shows. Mark Monea (AKA Monz/ Carry-On) on landed the world’s first Front-flip 360 looking thing off the super-kicker at 50ft. That was amazing to see.
Off to the Avalon Air Show we go. On the Friday it would have been the windiest conditions, we have ever ridden in, and that practice Backflipping small gaps came in handy on the Friday! Saturday and Sunday were windy as well, but we stopped being such pansies and did what we do on the bigger gaps.
Anyways I’m running out of things to talk about, so I’m going to get off this thing before I start talking a whole lot of trash.
SEEEEUPP!
Here come the Men In Black...and green.
