    Benito Vid

    He's like a magician on wheels-bloody brilliant!!!
  4. Anyone keen for this sunday? Im so over all this snow, would really like to get my fat arse out!
  5. Bondi's awesome but full of brits! I lived in manly for 3 months (a beach a lot like bondi) it was awesome. Much more australian and full of incredible women... Im talking about the neighbours and home and away women that you never ever see in australia! Also I have to disagree on the car for eastcoast.... greyhound it $300-thats what £150ish? To get from Syndey to Cairns with as many stops as you want, increible money (dont oz experience bus it). Also it means you can get lashed and sleep on the bus th next morning-ideal! And you dont have to worry about anything breaking down.
  6. Mate its called a working holiday visa, quite possibly the easiest working visa you will ever apply for. If you have a trade or a skill which is in demand you can then apply for residency or if your a lucky bugger (like a couple of mates) you can get sponsored by your employer-your then laughing! Im now going to blabber on like a nob as i am hating living in england at the moment and dreaming of going away again soon. I've been back in the country for a year now after my two year trip when i finished school. I spent most of my time in Australia (18monthish) i also done 2 months in new zealand (south island-f***ing sick!!), Indonesia and Malaysia. Where do i start.... I was 18 and hating mylife after failing my A-levels. BOOM Ticket to australia i think! Saved up 2000 working in a macy ds :$ then jogged on malaysia for a couple of weeks followed by sydney.... Sydney is quite possibly the most amazing city in the world! As soon as i got there i made a faital error, i thought i was a millionaire because of the amazing exchange rate.... $5000 (£2000) isn't going to last you a lifetime if you dont have a job and your buying rounds willynilly for randomers in clubs.... Me being true to my british roots (disgusting drinker) ended up spending £2000 in 4 weeks!!! AND I DIDNT HAVE A JOB! The great think about somewhere like australia is theres temp workers needed everywhere (if you look hard enough). So for the first 6 months i was there i was stuck in sydney saving bunse so i could do the eastcoast, I was mainly doing labouring/landscaping anything that was going. If you have labouring experience or any for of manual trade get a green card as soon as you get there (you need this to work on a site) manual labour really well out there and ozzys are soooo lazy-its cruisy! Eastcoast was crazy! If im honest it was quite touristy, its full of brits and germans-not too much of a culture shock. More of an Australian better version of Ibiza.. but its awesome and there are some amaizng places (witsundays/byron bay/fraser island) After here i needed to extend my working holiday visa so i done the dreaded fruit picking. Funilly enough i really didn't mind the fruit picking, it was the real australia (a bit wolf creek). Also i managed to loose over 2 stone and save loads of money. Its quite fun meeting people fruit picking as well as not all the people there are strickly there to extend there visa... most of them were the party animals that spent all their money when they got to the country, so even if you are stuck in the middle of knowhere you make the most of what you can!!! Here i stupidly got a girlfriend and got a battered old camper van and drove into the middle of australia, then on up to the north and then down the westcoast. If you do get a chance to see the teritorys/westcoast only do it in a camper. Even though mine did breakdown in quite possibly the biggest hill billy town you ever did see doing it by van is the only way! Bloody brilliant! And dont be a mug and rent one of the s**t wicked campers-they make every last penny out of you! When i got down to perth i worked on an apple farm, now this was good money! I somehow managed to get farm picking record with this french bloke, we picked 21 half tone bins at $45 a bin in one day!!! I was taking home over 1200 a week- Nice little saving fund for New Zealand! New Zealand was amazing! I did not work over there but New Zealand do give you 2 years automatically and again it is very easy (i nearly did myself). I have a friend over there at the moment who is really enjoying it, though is incredibly skint! Wages are really bad there compared to Australia. I only done the south island as the word is its the better half! It was absolutley incredible, i cant speek highly enough of the amazing country and incredible people. Also its the place for skydive/bungy or just about anything extreme-its pure wildness! I still have dreams about Queenstown- I WANT TO RETIRE THERE! I finally got back to Sydney and ended up working in a call centre for a share registry (fairly bigtime for a skint backpakcer). If you have admin experience expect to earn between 17-25 dollars an hour depending on experience. If you dont have experience lie as i did... everyone can work a computer and fax machine.... Tips -Go on your own (its a bit nerve racking at 1st, but you are then your own boss of your trip! You can wake up in the morning and say f**k it i mishing it somewhere else...Also its so much more fun meeting new people.) -Book a round the world ticket (as it will eventually work out cheaper) but dont be a fool and make a ridiculous planned trip. Travelling is all about the random/wildness inlife- go a bit mental! -Dont get a girlfriend when your over there (travelling means slagging your life up) -Dont be a complete mug and book through 'real gap' or anything like that! License to print money! Just book your own flights and do it all yourself, will be a lot better-trust me! -Oh! Dink lots and lots of GOON (you will understand when you get there) Sorry for blabbing on.... Hope this helps. Hope you have a f***ing wild time man!
  7. That was awesome alex, was such a good day! I love a good plymuff ride!
  8. Absolutley incredible, that was balancing on a completely different scale!
  9. Good work lads! Wish i had the balls to ride in the snow... nutters! Where was all that filmed?
  10. Thats pretty rude man! Look forward to seeing it on the next plymuff ride
  11. I could be pretty keen for this, though at 11am on sunday morning expect a useless hungover waste of space for the first couple of hours....
  12. Is this guy for real? This isn't just a repost.... did you not notice the number of hits that vid has had?
  13. All i can say is video 6- absolute weapon!
  14. Me and a few mates were planning on riding brighton soon. I think i will be there on the weekend of the 9th visiting family, would anyone be up for a ride then? Where do you generally ride? Seafront? Cheers
  15. Well thats rather tasty! I must say a massive thanks for my slate, i am in love with it! Cheers
  16. Jon just pretend your bigtime and drop it on a brand new hope mono.... Glad to hear your getting envolved in the plymouth ride, will be wild!
  17. That was mental! That bloke literally could not ride a bike 'without handle bars' though....
  18. What an awesome video, really enjoyed that! Have a lot of time for that bike as well!
  19. Really not a fan of the GU stock frame- bloody heavy old thing as well! CZAR is rather nice though as matey said skip them both and go for an adamant-nice bit of kit!
  20. This is such a shame.... Im in love with the bike, but this really is a bit of a nightmare. Sounds like halflink it will have to be but i do hate bodging chains together (bad history with snapped chains).
