So I decided to make a longboard trailer for a bike.

They were having a council clean up down at DeeWhy and I saw this kids bike with little wheels so I used that by cutting off the front and rear sections, alining the wheels and welding them onto a crossbar, then fitting a removable long centre draw bar with another support at the front.

All the materials were just stuff I had in the garage.

Hell chinese steel is crap, I kept blowing holes in it with the stick welder, even the really solid frame head sections.

Now here's the really strange part, I don't own a bike and I have little intention of ever getting one so I have no idea why I did this other than to kill time.

General I read all ,those guy's are way to intelligent for likes of me

I'm kinda like'n the fin doggie, but then I go back to my old set up and think that's the best.

I've thought of a use for it, apart from the 99 cents I could get on ebay.

If I go to woopi in November and camp at Darlo park, I can use it to drag the board plus an esky full of piss down the beach to Arra or Mulla, have a surf, watch the comp, get completely shaitfaced and get back to camp without driving

Now ya talking ,any room for a bottle of Bundy,think I will tag aloneBe a treat walking behind you pulling all my gear

On second thoughts, I looked at google earth and Arra looks to be less than 1 klik along the beach from Darlo park.

Now that does not represent a problem sober but can you just imagine me trying to get back after dark, possibly at high tide, with a gut full under my belt.

The following day it would look like a scene from one of those lost in the desert movies where they find the dead victim after following a trail of his dead horse and discarded belongings.

In my case it would be:-

1 x bike wheel

1 x other bike wheel

1 x pool of vomit (including half digested BBQ sausage)

1 x pile of runny grog bog (including the other half of the half digested BBQ sausage)

2 x empty Corona's

1 x crappy looking board rack made of nasty chinese steel

2 x full Corona's ("OMG!! this poor souls in real trouble. Quick boys, we must hurry")

1 x Esky (empty apart from more vomit and poo)

1 x witness, a fat chick. When asked if she had seen someone matching my description she replied "Yes, this ugly old dude with bad hair and even worse breath told me I was the hottest thing he's ever seen and would I be interested in a root? I told him to piss off, he went that way.

A little further up the beach and they finally stumble upon my remains. I'm in the fetal position one hand resting gently on my beloved board and the other hand covering my arse hole.

Yes folks, right up until the very end I was still worried about mac being just behind me with that frigg'n bottle of rum.

Hey obct - whats with the corona's I thought you were a man ! Better make room on that trailer for a couple of limes for your girly brew my friend.

BTW - you will have to pass our place to get back to darlo park so that may add a significant obstacle to your travels as well

Boy obct is good

Even if we don't win they are sure gunna know we were there I reckon We have to organise some very very very bad team shirts I reckon I think samsara should spono us with some suitable attire ??????

I don't like them that much but I still drink them, I may as well tell you the story behind it.

I think it was June 2007, I had just about completely given up on drinking because I was basically allergic to any alcohol. I thought it was the additives in it so I kept looking around for beer that didn't have many, like coopers. but still I would get really ill. Even something like a Hahn light would have me up at 2am with a splitting headache and blurred vision the following day up until about noon.

Then back in 2007 I got an invite for lunch to this titty bar in Woolamaloo just behind Kings Cross called Twin Peaks, I arrived late and had a difficult time explaining who I was and why I was there through this small speakeasy type opening in the front door of this terrace house.

I finally convinced them I was supposed to be there and when the door opened, I was confronted by a very dimly lit room with blokes sitting at tables, an ocean of very loverly young ladies, wearing little more than smiles and all with tits like rocks.

The first thing this loverly says to me, as she ushered me to the table was "what would you like to drink?". I just gestured towards the table where my hosts were sitting and said "I'll have what they're having" without even looking to see what they were drinking because to do that would have meant that I would have had to stop looking at her tits and that would have been ungentlemanly.

Well it turned out to be a Corona and I had a skin full all arvo and still managed to get up at 4am the following day to go on a buggy run up to Lithgow feeling fit as a fiddle.

Ever since then I've only guzzled Corona's, on the whole it does not seem to knock me around as much as other drinks so I guess I've just going to have to keep looking girly if I want to continue to drink.

I didn't get passed "tits like rocks" what was the topic again

Corona beer....

I’m not too sure that having a deafy like me as the captain of a surf team would be such a good idea.

I could just imagine the woopi longboard club organizer saying to me.

“obct, tell your team to get into the water”

I walk up to the team and say.

“hey guys, that dude over there wants us to get into his daughter, me bags first go”

Wot? ...........

wotda

I've mentioned before that it was at woopi over 20 years ago that my hearing, or lack there of caused me one of my greatest embarrassments.

A new pub had opened up at Corindi called the Amble Inn.

I could swear I heard them say Anne Boleyn when my mate told me where we were going.

I said, "what compelled them to name a pub after the second wife of Henry the eighth?"

Everyone turned to look at me with these WTF looks on their faces.

I still didn't twig on until we arrived and I read the sign.

OK.....That's it..........I vote obct IS the team captain......

For Australia

PM

I was going to put my hand up for Team Manager but some how I dont think I could control obct,he is so out of control and I would more than likely join in and the would be well you be the judge.

When is this comp and any rides on offer

hey mac, you just mention who you want me to sack from the team so that you're in and I guarantee they're gone.

How about BB? he won't be much use, all he's going to be doing is worrying about scratching that new board

We can ditch him easy

ouch for BB, nah he is really talking himself up of late so I think he should stay in the team
It sounds like an awesome week,when is it and I think L-fish mentioned its around 3.5 hour drive from the GC
I just cant commit atm due to my father in-laws illness and I should hang close to home.However it would be a blast if BB,asea,L-fish,you and I hooked up.What a time we would all have
If its a right hand point break I am your man,if it choppy beach break crap,now sounds like BB
At the end of the day we need heaps of photos and a report blow by blow. Dam I so want to go
