Aussie Single Speed Championships

The Aussies know how to let loose, and the Australian Single Speed Nationals were no exception. Most of the participants were from Melbourne, but the Sydney crew was in full force representing New South Wales, two Americans represented just themselves, and one guy from Queensland represented definitive proof that beer and dancing don't mix. There were several noteworthy events and subsequent corresponding humor, such as the bright red gigantic bloomers awarded to the winner of the skidding competition. The twist being that they must be worn throughout the weekend, "Or else you don't even wanna know what'll happen to you."

In true single-speeder style the infamous bloomers were worn for every second of the festivities. Dan built the pimpest children's bike ever, and Willsey split the pair. The Huffy only survived one ghost-ride challenge, and then Ugly then threw it the furthest. The race went well, and the championisimo man and woman won a romantic night for two with wiggling electronic accoutrements included. I discovered why middle Australians don't like vegetables, and Smokin' Joe discovered his second wind... followed by his third, then fourth... Mad props go out to Mallachi and D. Coops for making the weekend a memorable if not potentially embarrassing one. We look forward to the ASSC in Wellington next year... Or maybe Sydney if the weather's bad.
