Today was a mixture of many things. A day of celebrating my relationship with the Ocean in the form of a few hours strapped to my camera's viewfinder recording instances from the Rusty sponsored 'Rumble in Da Jungle' event in Sanur, Bali, this morning. It was also a day of realization that not everyone you think you know are actually the person you believe them to be. It was a day to rejoice insofar that a non-liquidmocean undertaking is vibrant and a day for concern after my Wife was diagnosed with an Ovarian cyst! I rubbed shoulders, or the collar at least, of an extra from the movie, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, I kid not. Check the images of this mornings event, why anyone would want to parade a dog around dressed like that defeats me.
We started out at 5.50am weaving through the Balinese traffic, yep even at that hour. I've always wondered why I haven't seen more accidents, people not using lights, pulling straight out onto a busy road without looking, no helmets, complete families on a step through Yamaha! It's all seen on the roads here on a daily basis, if not hourly basis. Our team rider 'Dek' was subscribed in for the Rusty sponsored event so we headed down early to get some images at first light. Unfortunately 'Dek' never made it through to the next Heats. He bowed out of Heat 6 after being in second (yay) spot for most of the period, being ousted to third in the closing seconds of the heat, such is life. "We'll get the next one buddy"! Mind you the guy above slammed into the lead of the heat with this tube so well deserved too.
The rest of the day, well let's just say it was an adventure. I'm not gonna go into the details here as I try not to talk BS about anyone, but my eyes were certainly opened today into just how much of a delusional state some people are happy to live in. Just another bump on this roller coaster of a ride we call life. The situation is sorted now so no worries.
Anyway, that's me for the day. We, the wife and I, go back for her second consultation in two weeks so she's on the drugs until then. Fingers crossed that the results will be fine..
Cheers all, until tomorrow. Sorry for the late posting here but as you can see, heavily sidetracked today.
Mark,
