FOLLOWING reports that one of his motocross riders took a tumble during practice for an upcoming Sydney stunt show, Carey Hart, the motorbike champion husband of Pink, called Confidential yesterday to admit: "It was me."
On Tuesday, Pink enthusiasts informed this column that one of Hart's fellow revheads was injured while practising for Saturday's freestyle demonstration and was taken to hospital.
Yesterday the heavily tattooed adrenaline junkie phoned us to say he was actually the injured party following the spill but, too tough to bleed, he denied being dropped at a Sydney hospital.
While rehearsing for the Entertainment Centre show this Saturday (coinciding with his wife's Sydney concert), Hart found Sydney's weather a bit too windy for his liking.
"It was pretty windy . . . I was fighting the wind the whole ride," he said. "It was swirling on and off and hard to predict" he said of the test-run. "On the last (jump) of the day a heavy gust slowed me down and I landed a little short. It's what we call hitting the deck. I hit my ankle pretty hard."
Hart maintained he didn't fall off the bike and didn't go to hospital - but probably should have, adding that while it hurt it was nothing new.
The couple's journey Down Under has been as much a reconciliation trip for them as it has been a record-breaking tour. Hart also has a new love: he got behind the wheel of a Holden at the weekend.
"They're fun cars . . . I'm actually going to test with (Aussie supercar star) Paul Morris in the next couple of weeks with a V8 supercar which is cool."
Pink began her NSW leg in Newcastle last night. Her first Sydney Funhouse gig is on Saturday night.
