'Strange bed fellows'

Sounds like a great Australian movie staring Paul Hogan and Michael Katin. I managed to secure a cameo as a bouncer on the door of a Sydney nite-club.

Hey You!!!

 

Road Rules

American Viewers will be able to see the MTV debut of "The Island Warrior" on "Road Rules" episode 3 in June where he challenges the 6 road rulers to a strength competition. If they lose one will be voted off. Don't Miss It!

New Australian "Stones of Strength" Record in Bundanoon

On the 12th April, I set a new Australian record of 5 stones weighing 100kg, 115kg, 125kg, 145kg & 165kg on chest high barrels on a 30 metre course in 21.5 seconds.

The 165kg stone felt so light, I shouldered it for the 25,000 strong crowd. The sun was shining, the crowd went wild and, with a great bunch of friends, this made for a fantastic weekend in the southern highlands of NSW.

I'll definitely be back next year to defend this title.

Derek Boyer of Albury, 2003 champion, lifts the last and newest of the Bundanoon Stones of Manhood - a massive 165kg to win in new record time of 21.5 seconds.

 

Return to W.D.F.P.F.

I've deceded to make an appearance in The Australian Drug Free Power lifting Federation. The Australian championships are on the 10th August and the World's are in St Petersburg Russia, in September. I plan to compete in both in the "Raw" division (unequipped) as I see this as the true test of strength!

I can't stand the amount of equipment and lifting aids that are allowed in powerlifting these days so I will make a point of lifting heavy, using only a lifting belt. 100% Drug Free RAW.

Mission: I plan to break every super heavy record at the Nationals and to smash 3 of the 4 world records (unassisted) in the Worlds.

Why Strongman?

I say Why Not! What better way to stay strong and healthy, travel the world to exotic places and most importantly test your metal against some of the strongest to have ever lived!!

I refer to a famous quote "It is not the critic who counts. Not the man who points out how the strongman stumbled or the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by sweat and dust and blood, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in worthy causes: who at the best, knows in the end of the triumph of high achievement, and who at worse if he fails at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt.

As a strongman in the arena I too have stumbled and dared to win. I salute all my competitors for having also pushed and strived and punished themselves coming back again and again to the battle.

"Stay strong, stay healthy, search for adventure"
