Odds and Ends

It’s definitely summer now. Had a bunch of riders through this week, barely leaving me time to recuperate after the Japanese trip.

Barb got me good when I fell asleep answering the loads of email I got while I was away. I think peach looks pretty good on me.

Frank and his daughter Adrienne from Ottawa showed up for a tour. Unfortunately, Adrienne was having a substandard day, mostly due to the bike not suiting her much. I tried to get a good shot of her, but none of them were very flattering so I “lost” them.

Frank on Pangor.

The next day I hooked up with some old school regulars for a bit of locals only action. This was taken within an hour of downtown Vancouver. That’s all I can tell you.

After that, some Hawaiians came to call. We did a Seymour run.

More CBC shots.

We also checked out some new stuff on Seymour. Not quite finished yet, but some great potential.

The exit needs a bit of work.

Only a few days left until the UK crowd gets here. Maybe one more update and then I’ll be MIA for another week or so.

All good things must come to an end, and so on and so forth.

Barb and Toga doing the unload thing for the last drop of the week.

We finished off the week with a big Cypress rainforest rip. A classic wet day on the Shore.

The Sea of Green.

Yea, Brother Koji, we have come to worship in the cathedral of the Shore. Behold the greatness and tremble, for we are worthless mortals but the Shore is eternal…..(uhhhh, what?)

More action from Koji.

Sin, sending it.

Chaz decided to tag along on this one. Good looking out, boss man.

Toga, sportin the big wood.

…and the whole crew. Toga, Chaz, Koji, Sin, Barb, Chizzer, Noz, and Takeshi.

Sayonara!

Happy Canada Day!

Back on the Shore.

Hey! Weren’t you just in Williams Lake?

Well….yeah. Pulled the all nighter and got home in the wee wee hours. that’s what happens when you do a ten day trip in seven days.

Koji figured out how to best use the extra van time.

After a nice sleep in we went for the usual CBC, Corkscrew, Pingu, Pangor, and bonus rounds to my house.

Sin on CBC.

Toga on the same ramp.

Sin again. Must be that bright jersey. He got all the shots today, even though Takeshi was just killing it on Seymour.

Sin AGAIN.

Here’s Takeshi on the wall ride. I couldn’t get many shots of him because he was right on my ass all day. Got lots of video clips actually. Have to wait a couple more days for the vid. I’ve been avoiding the editing process.

A little animation of Noz manualing through the wall ride.

Toga, Noz, and Koji on the Corkscrew log. Thanks to the magic of Photoshop.

..and check out the ass on Noz. Barb was all over that piece of spicy tuna. Good thing they were heading home soon.
