I had a couple of hours to kill today, so I managed to get a quick lap in on Seymour. It’s been two years since I lived on the Shore, but like they say…the more things change the more they stay the same. For instance, Mark is still trying to finish the wall ride on[...]

Our first day of club shuttles. With Justin on the bench with a blown knee, and myself just too damn tired to think straight, we threw down a day of shuttles for MTBco club members up on Gillard. It turned out to be quite popular, with over 50 members coming out to play. A[...]

Puddle virgins! Well, the boys like their skinnies, so I’d say they were in the right place. Lots of that thin wood here. There’s also lots of fast flow with gaps, but we weren’t stopping for that stuff. We cracked off 6 kaps of the Fox Mtn. trails to get things rolling. After that, we[...]

OK, I skipped an update. Relax…. we are. Slow start to the day, and we’re on Powers again. Had to have a bit of a sesh and get these hits dialled in, right? Proper… ..and not so much. Still, we managed to get Dan on to the Jedi Fucker. Here’s the Deaner stylin’ out Crazy[...]

Is it Tuesday? This must be Gillard then. Gillard is all about gaps and walls and steeps. Oh right, just like everything else. Except more so… It’s a choose your own poison kind of place. Kev’s head was nearly chopped off on this one. Justin came out to see what theese trips are like. Standing[...]

We stayed closer to home today. Now that the ChocolateFoot boys are warmed up, it’s time for Powers Creek. Could you ask for better weather? As is typical, we took far too long to ride Builders, but the crew were devastating the lines. As per usual, Deano was charging everything. Mike has a bit of[...]

Yes, the theme of this years May Two Four long weekend would have to be cake. Don’t ask me why, it just was. Things started early on Friday, with the arrival of the crew from the Collective and our pal Radek from Pinkbike. Most of these guys haven’t ridden up here yet, and they got[...]

Early season is finally here. This is going to be remembered as one of the longest winters in memory. I heard that the Rusty Muffler was only a short walk through the snow before it became rideable, so I grabbed the K-town loc’s and headed over for a mission. Oh yeah, that was a LONG[...]

Yesterday’s laps were great and all, but today was the one. It really dried out. We ran a full crew of trail builders on (what else?) Builders Only for some fast laps. I manged to pinball off a boulder, and there were numerous bails and crashes all day. Here’s Rob sending it on Crazy Train.[...]

Good old Wa. He’s sent me another one. Hi Will. How do you like that? A brand new stunt for you, courtesey of Dirty Dave Diddler. A reasonably epic day of fall colours and great conditions. Will really liked this move. Why do the Brits ride so well and just generally make themselves so easy[...]

Ooooooo…..the Puddle. We got here early, but Tyler and company didn’t pull in until really late. Oh, and due to my casual style of instructions they got a little bit lost. Luckily, they brought some girlies with them to get them back on track. Like how Barb is navigating this log on Hillbilly Deluxe… We[...]

…they just get bigger shocks. My homeboy Derek showed up today and is getting all up on the freeride action in Westbank. He even maged to hit up some gaps (when I didn’t tell him they were coming anyway….).
What? It looked comfortable last night…. Off to Penticton today for a Bog session. ShortRound got some satisfaction the Jeep Line. Javi killed the teeters… ..and Josh killed everything. There was a bit of a session later on with an old gap too. Everyone was stepping it up. Including Barb, who counts this as her[...]

Just kidding, Shortround. I know you like the goats better…. OK, some new terrain yet again for us today. We dropped in to the 3.5km etrace to Powers today to check out the new hits that the crew have been working on. They’re not quite ready yet ( and maybe a bit underbuilt), but they’re[...]

Each day better than the last, eh? You can’t NOT go to the Shore, so here we are…. After Pemby and Squampton, the Shore is EASY. As always, Dan is along for the ride, and making us all look like chumps. Well, not quite all of us. Richard (or is that Dave?) was charging lots[...]
