Which kind of says it all, doesn’t it? Maybe we were a bit tired after two absolutely spectacular days, but Seymour was tough today. Not that it’s supposed to be easy, I suppose. The boys were having a good time, hard going or no. Look at the big smile on Rolf. And I got to[...]

Seems like some DirtClowns have shown up on the shore. Well, they actually showed up in Whistler, and due to crap amounts of traffic I was late getting there so we had a bit of a late start. Good thing the sun doesn’t go down until 9PM these days…. Traditional first lap of Seymour to[...]

Our last trail day for the NSMBA. It’s a little bit sad, really. Ahhh…..maybe we’ll throw down on another some time. They are really fun events. They also wouldn’t be possible without sponsors. Kelly Smith is the owner of the new IGA down on Esplanade, and he’s a great guy. Look at all that food.[...]

What, not British? Holy cow, and American. Randy was here for a conference on medical imaging, like MRI’s and stuff like that. I’m sure no one reading this has ever had to deal with anything like that…. Luckily, we managed to have a great ride and avoid the emergency room. 3 big laps today. I[...]

On familiar ground again. We tore a strip outta Seymour today. Multiple runs, not much stopping. Julian looks pretty good on that team Shocker, dontcha think? And Leo steps it down on Neds.
Ahh yes, more deeeeeeeee-luxe accommodations a la Casa De Smokey. Time for a skinny fest. So we’re going to Arawana to ride some pinners. Right then, par for the course. Yup, no problems here. Oh wait, there’s a problem. Uhh Dom? The wheel neds to go OVER the hole. You’ll get it sooner or later…[...]

Wow. Another stellar trip. Man, 2005 was definitely an epic…..what a great way to wind ‘er down. Harley basks in the spotlight. Our own personal spotlight was highlighting the woods today. Ralph getting the star treatment…. Peter gets off… This next shot is my current favourite of CBC. The Millenium Log in case you can’t[...]

This is the first day of the FreeRideSouth trip, but my buddy Brent from Etnies was also here, so its the full on sunshine states experience on this one. First off, if you’ve never checked out FreeRideSouth, then do it now. Big Andy and Demo Dave should have been here, but rumour has it that[...]

The bike is fixed (thanks again Steve), the weather is clearing, and we’ve got a score to settle…. Ooops, one more for the Shore. Andreas goes down HARD on Dirty Diapers. That settled ‘Dre down for the day. Christian pretty much took over from here. This next one is the same drop that ‘Dre augured.[...]

Holy, lots of people showed up on a wet day to make mud. I, of course, was late due to a bit of a bender the night before. Lots of Keith’s IPA and Scotch. Uhhhhhhhhh…… Here’s PD (background) and some guy building a berm into a stepdown just before the bridge across Enigma Ck. A[...]

…but maybe little tired today. Man, kids today. Send them out downhilling for a few thousand feet and they get all ti-ti. They were doing Ok on CBC though. It was still a GLORIOUS day out. Here’s Kurt out in the rainforest. We did one run down Ned’s. Later on we hit up some secret[...]

Another wet one on Seymour. Lots of riding today. Holger came out for one more ride before returning to his tour company on the Continent. Also, Bill Tuohy and his buddy Michael came up from San Fran for a rip. AND….I had the first day of a local kids group out for a shred. Here’s[...]

Oh look. A 2005 Rocky Mountain RMX. Must be some pros about… A ha! There they are. Must be a real Seymour day. Vanderham, Shandro, and Watson were already on their second run when we showed up (that’s Scottish George in there too). While I’m plugging the crew, I may as well say hi to[...]

…and the beatdown continues. An early start boded well today, especially as the dry weather looked to be coming to an end. There were intermittent raindrops all the way down, but no rain until the last few hundred meters. as we were riding Seymour, could there be any other choice? Calvin on CBC. Eric on[...]

After hitting the wall hard last night, I was ready to charge. Scott, however, was feeling the effects of Canadian beer. We hit Seymour hard, riding CBC twice, TNT, Dirty Diapers, Ned’s, Fisherman’s, Corkscrew, a new trail (the Angry Penguin?), Pingu, Boogieman, Baden-Powell, Emergency Exit, Fed Bear/ Dead Bear, and Kelly’s. Quite the list. Boombatz[...]
