Introducing......
Mr. Toodles!
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a184/demo_man/toodles.jpg
Who are you?
Trent Blucher, mediocre Expert class downhiller, average cook, excessive drinker and criminal mastermind.
Why did you choose that username?
It was the most manly name I could think of beside “The Lovable Pink Hug Bunny”
Where do you live?
In the slums. Logan Central, just south of Brisbane. Hopefully I’ll move somewhere more peaceful and upmarket soon. Like Beirut.
Why did you join Farkin?
I thought it was a singles site. Turns out it is but the female to male ratio is way outta whack for my liking. Apart from that it’s freakin handy for organising rides and ridiculing people I’ll never have to face in real life.
What's your best memory from Farkin?
Pretty much anytime Ryan bans someone and leaves a one-liner post saying good-bye. Some of them are hilarious.
One thing you would like to see change about Farkin is:
I’d like a button that punches other users in the face. Apart from that, more competitions would be cool but we need to bug more distributors into giving us free shit.
How did you get into mountain biking?
Someone left a side window open and I climbed through. Actually, I’ve just always ridden bikes. I guess I was never meant to have a credit rating.
List 3 places you want to ride before you die:
Cairns, Les Gets and Nurburing on a MV Augusta F4I (hey you said ride – you didn’t specify what)
List 3 places you DON'T want to ride before you die:
That crazy Simpson desert race, any prolonged distance on road and Magda Szubanski’s bed.
Funniest thing seen at a race weekend:
Suss Benny. The sombrero-wearing, pants-dropping, beer-chugging hooligan is an inspiration to spectators everywhere. Also, the time Benny and the crew marked out the track with empty XXXX cans at Magpie Creek.
Best person to go on a long drive with:
In Brisbane there’s this woman who has petitioned council time and time again to have MTB tracks shut down. I’d love to go for a long drive with her. In the boot, bound and gagged next to a shovel and a bag of lime.
What is currently on the computer desk you log onto Farkin from?
3 computers, a pile of paperwork that grows and grows, a rubbish bin labelled “inbox”, a blob of play-dough physio gave me and lots or work requests. Yay.
Best vehicle ever used for shuttling:
2004 Ford F250. Farkin huge and you don’t have to give way to anyone!
Worst vehicle ever used for shuttling:
5 people. 3 bikes. Ford Lazer Hatch. ‘Nuff said.
Biggest amount of dollars gambled and on what:
I gambled $1500 on a set of RST Alfalfas. I lost. Shit fork. Shit company. Shit support.
What is your job and what’s the worst part about it?
I work as process engineer for a frozen airline meal plant. Best part? There are perks to working a facility where the male to female ratio is 1:20 ;-)
Describe your riding style:
Like a scared little man. I’ve been referred to as smooth but I’m sure they were taking the piss. If I am, it’s because it’s easy to go smooth when you’re crawling along at 5kph
What would you change about your riding style?
I’d speed it up, give it flow, direction, style and make me look less scared in photos.
What’s your dream bike?
I’ve pretty much got it. I love my Turners, although they could both handle some nicer forks…
When did you last service your bike?
I broke my hand about 6 weeks ago and haven’t really ridden since. Since then I’ve been rebuilding my bikes until I could do it blind-folded in under a minute.
Last time you were approached by the police was:
Uh Saturday morning…. Apparently operating a 49cc motorbike under the influence in a big grassy paddock is the most serious crime they could focus their resources on.
Last car accident:
About 4 years ago I fell asleep driving home. I was having the most lovely dream until I was interrupted by Telstra and their inconsiderately placed telephone poles.
Most foul food ever eaten:
I’m not a picky eater but I’d have to say the time I ate Whiskas for a dare. Actually it wasn’t even that bad.
Most cash you've had in your hand:
Probably less than 10 grand. I once had a cheque made out to 167 million but they mispelt my name to BHP something or other.
Is it possible to have too many sponsors?
Yeah but only the annoying ones that ring you and ask how long it’s been since I’ve had a drink. Why ask if you’re gonna get cranky? Sheesh.
One person you'd love to see become a member of Farkin is:
The red headed chick off “that 70’s show”. She wants me so bad it’s nasty.
Thanks for that Toodles. Between us we nearly screwed it up royaly, the first e-mail got lost somewhere in cyberspace so it was a close save that got it up tonight.
