It’s a Shore Thing

Whaddya mean it’s a big climb?

Oh. Now I get it.

We had another Brit in attendance today. Ed from London came out for a spin.

We checked out the usual stuff on the way up. Wade’s legbreaker gap, Digger’s Cliff, the start of Jerry Rig.

And the Circus.

For all you Florida types who think you can do it, let me tell you something.

You can’t.

It’s hard.

Even Scott agrees.

Here he is dwarfed by the forest on Upper Oil Can.

Dropping in on another.

Ed “I’m not very good” gives himself a scare on Big Smooth.

Scott gets the job done on Sideshow. What a sick pic.

Ed again on Ladies Only.

…and Boombatz on the Lower Ladies rollercoaster.

After this we went for some eats and hit up a speed run on Seymour. No pics, only riding.

Excellent day. I bonked hard and passed out early. Tomorrow is another big day.

Arawana

Well, we seem to be having some van troubles. Got a new battery last night, maybe that’s all it was.

This little guy seemed to be having more troubles. No water for miles.

Scott continues his dominance of the big gaps of the BC interior. Here he is on Bud Height. Today was tough. We were really tired and the mercury hit 39 C. That’s about 103 for you southern types.

..and a little wooden berm.

OK. So it wasn’t the battery. Had to stop at Canadian Tire for a new alternator. The van completely died in the parking lot. At least we got a new one installed in under an hour. Do you believe it? Some days you get the good with the bad.

On to the Shore…

El Rancho Relaxo

Ahhh, back to Penticton (or Penickton for all you HIckHucksters reading this).

Scott gets warmed up on the teeter at the top of the Peat Bog.

The Emergency Exit log on Code 4.

I’m gonna do a no-hander! Oh wait, I’m gonna case this thing…

Scott on the infamous Gully Gap. It’s about a 35 footer off of a tiny little pile of dust.

For round two we hooked up with some kid from Edmonton. Sorry dude, I forgot your name. Nice guy, good rider. We did Knuckleduster for the second round.

Scott on a ramp.

The Knuckleduster Skybridge drop.

Da boyz.

Da carnage.
