FreeRideSouth — Part III

Who wants a new Cove DH bike?

Cypress today. Boombatz gets pic of the day for this line. You might recognise it from an IRC ad from recent bike mags.

We ran into a few celebs today. James Doerfling (up and comer if you haven’t heard of him yet), Chris Glew, and Dylan Treemblay were hanging out at the top of SexBoy.

…and another blurry late aftrenoon shot to leave off with. Not so many pics today, just riding. Some things aren’t meant to be shared.

FreeRideSouth — Part II

YTou guys thought I was hurting you yesterday? HAH!! Today we ride Fromme, and I mean ride. No shuttles on Fromme my friends. It’s so worth it (just ask Boombatz).

Taro even made it up to the top in good enough shape to hit the lines on Upper Oil Can.

Gary made it a clean sweep of the trail with this styling move on Big Smooth.

Then we had to spend some time on Air Supply. Unfortunately, I missed Boombatz on Sideshow ( I can’t get them all, sorry) but I did get this angle on the Air Supply gaps.

The guys from Dark Cycles stopped by to put on a clinic after their trail maintenance day on the Pink Starfish.

Gary! Put that dirty hose away!

Nice shuttle vehicle. Only in North Van….

FreeRideSouth — Part I

This is the first day of the FreeRideSouth trip, but my buddy Brent from Etnies was also here, so its the full on sunshine states experience on this one.

First off, if you’ve never checked out FreeRideSouth, then do it now. Big Andy and Demo Dave should have been here, but rumour has it that they’re both scared and/or possibly old. Seriously boys, we miss ya. When are you coming back?

Secondly, Brent: Thanks for the new kicks, eh?

OK, on to the riding.

Gary thinks it’s hard…..

Donny thought otherwise. NOt bad for a bunch of Floridiots—uhhh I mean Floridians.

Brent is also on the Honda-Turner team, and brough along some compatriots to rip it up. Here’s Stuart on the latest trail on Seymour.

He was having all of it today. Synchro really has built a masterpiece out there.

Gary got the love on the second run of the day when we hit up the Ned’s gap. A little more flight time was all he needed to get in the swing of it.

Brent on the Pangor rock. Shot of the day I.M.O.

Barb wasn’t the only holder of a rainbow jersey on the ride today. Cara Leonard (who won the World Masters DH title the year after Barb) was out today as well. This is the new wave ride at the end of CBC.

Brent again.

Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhh…….sooooooo-ave and deee-bone-er.

Yeah, that’s me. Not to be confused with this big Polynesian guy named Taro here.

Good one Taro.

…and another artsy fartsy blur (its Cara) as it gets dark. 3 runs today. Nice work gang.
