Project Bike: Ridley Excalibur Carbon Road Bicycle
Ridley Excalibur Carbon Fibre Road Bicycle Small 53cm equipped with Shimano 105 11-Speed Groupset.
This Belgian lightweight super-responsive oversized-tubing carbon roadie is borne from the Ardennes, roads known to be tough, undulating, punctuated by gear-grinding climbs through the Walloon region. I’ve ridden those roads, they’re at times punchy, definitely cobbled, certainly meandering with tight medieval corners perfect for defending against the steely swords of King Arthur’s mysticism.
Project Bike: Casati Dardo Italian Scandium Carbon Road Bicycle
The original Casati Dardo Italian scandium alloy and carbon fibre road racing bicycle, a beautiful example of 100 years of family-based artisan fabrication by the Casati brothers, Luca and Massimo, and varnish finish by Carlo Dossena, from Monza, Italy. The ideal dart for absolute responsiveness in criterium racing and for when making a brash statement to the cycling crowds.
Project Bike: De Rosa Neo Primato Italian Steel Tourer
The stylish De Rosa Neo Primato Italian steel bicycle, a modern interpretation of the hallmark of Eddy Merckx domination of cycling road racing, particularly on the Molteni Cycling Team in the 1975 Tour de France. An insight into the history and description of this used example and rebuild into all day tourer and commuter bike.

2014 – It’s a wrap!
Placing the Book-end on 2014 The end of the annual cycle provokes a reflection on the 364 days that have passed by, seemingly at Ferrari pace. 24 hours remain before the looking glass is swung 180 degrees and what appears to the fore takes all capacity. 2014 Was...
Freefall with a Greek Twist
Freediving in Greece When it comes to coastline and freediving, the Greeks have got it pretty good! Not far from Athens at a place called Vouliagmeni is a mini blue-hole, called The Well. Local freediver Nick has taken to Guillaume Nery's Base Jumping Freefall video...
Local Freedivers Club Gains
Melbourne Freedivers Club Growth Looking back isn't something that regularly takes my attention, but sometimes it's healthy to check in and see where things have come from. In March 2014 The Melbourne Freedivers Club (MFC) launched on-line, in real and on deck for...
The Darkside of The Lens
My Heart Still Thumps At times I marvel at the connectivity the internet and social media affords us. The ability to cyber connect in the street so to speak. You pass by an image on Instagram and connect with it. You're beyond like for like and F4F, it actually speaks...
My first negotiation, at 12
First Jobs As a kid there's a novelty in someone asking you to do a job for some pocket money. It's a celebration, giving first tastes of independence and new found choices and options. Suddenly, a reliance on known variables, such as whether Mum or Dad is in a good...

Welcome
Hi! I’m Marlon.
Since 2014, Marlon Quinn – Fluid Movement Outdoors, has been a trusted leader for those seeking a better life with breathwork.
The Breathlog blog is for discerning individuals who value authenticity over trend, and purpose over speed. My philosophy represents the modern pursuit of Friluftsliv—a life lived intentionally at the intersection of mountain, sea, and craft. By combining physical mastery with functional European heritage design, I curate material and experiences that prove sophistication is not about luxury, but about deep connection, quiet competence, and living in rhythm with the natural world, breath by breath in fluid movement outdoors.
