The Orangepicker Tour (or what’s left of it)

Posted on August 10, 2004 by Smoke

…because only Scott managed to stay healthy enough to make it. Luckily I found a guy from Israel (Erez) who rounded out the numbers enough to make it possible to have a bit of a road trip.

Marble Canyon on the way to the ‘Loops.

The first day we rode Rose Hill with the crew from Freeride Tours. NO pics, just lots of ripping.

We spent the night camped out at Harper Mtn. with some nice Swiss folks. Here’s Rolf on Harper, dropping a rock line.

Rolf again on the Bridge to Nowhere.

…and again at the end of the same stunt.

Erez on a skinny.

Boombatz (Scott) on wheelie drop.

For the second lap we said goodbye to the Swiss (thanks for the shuttles, Danny) and hit up the big stuff.

Scott on a stepdown off of a bridge.

A bigger stepdown.

A BIGGER stepdown.

The double spiral ramp on Harper.

Erez on the outside line.

Yet another stepdown.

After that it was time for a swim and the drive to El Rancho Relaxo.

Santos :: Round II

Posted on August 7, 2004 by Smoke

OK, today was really slippery, even by Shore standards.

The wildlife didn’t sem to care though. I’ve seen more fawns this year than the rest of my life combined.

First round, Cypress. Wild Cherry and the Roach.

The boys at the top of the Cherry.

Round two was the Pre-Reap, Reaper, Paul Hogan, Firehose, and Family Guy.

Here’s Brent on the Pre-Reap rock slab.

OK, so it’s a bit blurry. How often do you get TWO guys falling on their asses in one shot? And they’re not even riding. Check out Edward (on the left). Both his heels are off the ground.
