in th surf
th unicycle
is actually
easier to ride
if ya can dig it
the ride is lubricated
th weeel goes faster than elsewhere
especially in th white water
cavitated
churning surf
"fuck he got some nice pics"

"rooster tail comin outta th tail"
"and stuffin it down th wave front"
fun as

"at least it wasnt a chick"
"askin if she can take a photo"

performance
"wadd are ya talkin about ?"
"ya just went back to doin what you were doin anyway"
would i have done that if he hadnt ?
"judgin by how ya treated th video cameras"
"on burleigh heads beach "
"i;d say ya wouldnt of"
it's all about attitude
i dig nickie's attitude to th cameras
"not as camera shy as that fuckhead thinks"
tv crews are fuckheads generally
big egos

"yeah fuck ya"
"We'll save th good magic for polite ppl"
***
"freaked out some surfer dudes paulie"
so
"top surfin beach"
"three video cameras at dawn filmin th surfers"
why we arrived in th dark
long gone up th beach
all th way to th rocks
just playin
"havent they ever seen a unicycle surfin in th waves ?"
twisted a few
ah well
surfin's too fuckin easy
look how many ppl out there fightin over that wave
only shit i have to deal with in my waves
is fuckhead little boys
who wanna take me down
and photographers
"and th odd blonde"
fuck th blondes
dime a dozen
run over th next one
***
"i wanna ride that beach montalbano's on"
"We could do those rocks"
it's finished babe
***
got a real nice feelin
jumpin off the
boat ramp
and stuffin it
thru th unridable
deep soft sand
i was first
off th edge
couple of guys out
in th surf
just amazed
havent ya ever seen a wizard ?
come down a beach before
fuckin mountain bike
didnt get much further than i did
"and he was aired down like we were"
***
have to watch that
"missing"
half black half white
no cultural heritage
***
jumped off this
bank
into th white sand
over th concrete
and stuffed it thru it
to find a fuckin mountain bike in front of me
scuse i mate
give him a shove and send him up th path
haha
come back at me
and couldnt knock me down
yur thongs brought me unglued more often
***
"black guys in th park were goin off"
