Sydney Body Art Ride
Home Sydney Body Art Ride
The Sydney Body Art Ride takes artfully painted people on a bike ride through back roads. I was lucky to photograph when they painted themselves for the ride.
You are painted in an enclosure to allow for some privacy.
Some riders (even males) opt to just wear the minimum required: a g-string.
Children as young as 7 years old participated in the Sydney Body Art ride.
Care is taken when you are painted - you don't want any paint in your eyes.
The Body Art Ride is all about fun, while painting, being painted or thereafter.
There's no age limit for the participants, no age limit for having fun.
Later on all those sympathetic freckles would also be covered in green.
Handmarks became very popular, not only on backs but also on bums and breasts.
Bow down if you want to submit to the policies of the greens.
Many women sported visually interesting features of their bodies.
If you're blue it's good to have some company.
Sydney Body Art Ride's women are good-looking and from Mars.
You get a glimpse of the action in the sunnies' reflection of this material girl.
Once your body is coloured it's time to put sense into "body art ride".
This young woman caused a lot of riders to turn into Zorros and Zorras.
Mr. Incredible or Zorro? I couldn't see a whip neither a bodysuit.
The Body Art Ride team is happy to help you apply art to your body.
Never before has being blue been so attractive.
One of the few rednecks who reconciled with a black man.
The colour absorbs UV rays and protects against the sun.
Even the sweat on his forehead is black.
These models definitely used the wrong deodorant.
I'm blue daba di daba die daba di daba die daba di daba die ...
During the Body Art Ride people of all colours unite happily and friendly.
Even the devil's kids were there and had a good time.
Coloured bums on saddles anticipate the start of the Body Art Ride.
And off they go - each colour team together, towards Maroubra beach where they wash it all off.
