Retallack – Bonus

Posted on by Smoke

Ha ha!  The tables have turned…

Retallack September

Thanks for the lift, Lorraine.  I needed to get a few more laps in, and so did Christine.  Mac was just along for colour.

I now dare you to NOT look at his yellow package (ask Mac about Operation Canary Freedom next time you see him).

So gangsta…

Retallack September

Gotta give the guy credit.  For only his 3rd real ride, he seems to have something of the sport figured out.

In the afternoon I went and hung out with Solos Productions and checked out some action with Buehler and Cheek.  Here’s a sneak peak of Garett’s new line.

You can’t really tell from these shots how gnar the line actually is, but luckily Mitch had the cable cam setup ready to go.

Some more blurry action in the dark, dark woods…

Like I said, it looks alright in the pics, better in real life, but for the full effect it looks siiiiiccccckkkkkk in super slo-mo.

Endin’ a hard day with Paddy K.  Thanks for the beers, eh?

Retallack Ladies – 3

Get your AllRides on, it’s Heli day!

Retallack September

This one took a while, as we tried breaking down bikes and putting them in the ski basket and the cheeks rather than long lining.  It saves $$, but really slows the program down at the top.

No worries, it got the girls on their A game.  Here’s Christine, with bum shot of the day, dropping in on a tailings pile.

Heather did too, and this was a huge breakthrough for her.  I doubt she ever thought she’d do something like this (and it is pretty steep in real life.  Pics never do it justice).

Always a good time in Bear’s Den.

Another loyal retallackEmployee, Kia get’s shot of the day.

Retallack September

And Karen gets the runner up.  Although she may have gotten top honours if she’d remembered to bring me some cookies (Karen is a notoriously good baker).

Another side shot in the old growth of Blancher.

Good times, yet again.  I don’t think I’m ready to head home yet, though.  I should probably get another day in before I hit the road.

Chocolate croissant?

Retallack September

Yes, the day 2 shenanigans started bright and early at the lodge today. Christine and her sexy legs are the result.  Those aren’t bruises, they’re souvenirs.

Retallack September

It was a slightly gloomy day on Idaho Peak, but that made for excellent trail conditions.

Retallack September

Steep and slick it may have been, but the ladies were killin’ it all day out there.

After another session in the park, a finishing lap on the Kessel right to the beach in front of the lodge was the call.

Can you feel the heat?
