Mt Kobau

Posted on by Smoke

Time to head back to the Shore, but first, a stop on the way.

Oh yeah, and a nature walk around the orchard with Mom. Nice eye for the poisonous beasties, Mom.

We stopped in at Keremeos for a rip on Mt Kobau on the way back to North Van. Here’s a pissed off biker. Must be that British bike….

You know you are out west when this is blocking the road. Giddyap.

Some rooftop related shenanigans on the drive up.

A group photo.

…and a “grope” photo. If you can figure out where my hands are then you can also probaly decipher the facial expressions.

Ok, riding. Stewie on the adjustable tranny.

Nelly on the same stunt.

Jedi.

..and again.

Barb cruising at low altitude.

Closely followed by dog.

The girls, going down (oops, I mean, uhh….)

Back out in the wide open spaces.

Some post ride beers at the river while waiting for the shuttle return.

…and the traditional “Everyone Passed Out in the Back of the Van” shot.

Ed, ya goof. I know you’re not asleep.

How can every day be so epic. Especially when you get so tired.

So very tired.

The crack of noon freeriding team…

Stewie on the log that broke Emandem’s foot.

Actually, he didn’t make it that far on the log. Or even this far….

More Gadget Lags.

If a man rides a tree in the forest and no one is there, will anyone notice?

Everyone pushed it up a notch for this one. Here’s Mark on a little gapper.

OK, now to the big stuff. Yours truly, wood to wood. I had to put it up because this hit has been buggin’ me for three years. Feels so good to step up. Thanks for getting the pic, Llew.

Glen, going big.

Barb, going bigger.

Another casualty. Mark was OK but his bike took one on the nose. The injured Emandem lent him his bike for the rest of the ride. Whattaniceguyeh?

Another big move was a gap across a barbwire fence to platform to drop. Here’s Glen on takeoff.

….and ride right to the lake where the cold ones are waiting.

OK then. Not bad for a rest day.

Who Could Imagine…..

….that they would Freak Out?

In Penticton? (Pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen…..)

Huge day.

Absolutely epic.

Ladies and Gentlemen, present you with 3 runs of the Peat Bog.

Go go Gadget Legs.

Stouph, expressing his sensitivity through fashion.

Paul, gettin rad.

Jedi on Emergency Exit.

Martin on the double teeter.

More homoerotic type shenanigans.

Way-y-y-y up there.

Stouph, seconds before a quadruple flat fest.

Dropping!

Now for the Knuckleduster SkyBridge Gap. Finally, a half decent shot of yours truly.

Gnarly Bird gapping my girlfriend.

Yep, they’re real. Both of them (pssst! Down here!)

For the last run, a full top to bottom down Ellis Canyon.

Right to the beach.

..and another shitty day in Paradise comes to a close.
