The OC — Pt 3

Posted on by Smoke

Up to Kelowna to ride with our buddy Ryan McKenna agian. Ryan does some pretty spectacular building up in the Gillieaerd area. If you’ve seen any recent New World Disorder films or DropIn TV, you are familiar with Ryans work.

Here’s Jimmy on a new line that I’m not supposed to post pictures of. But it’s such a nice shot I had to put it up.

Our hero, Ryan. This is on one of the older trails up there.

SoCal Ryan on the Boss Hog stepup.

Next time you hear about someone using HGH to cheat at cycling, remember this trail.

It’ll make you sick…..

Serious air. That’s a solid 25 vertical feet there.

This is more reasonable.

Jack lays it on the line on Boss Hog.

We hit Salty’s Beach House for dinner and for the excellent view.

I’m gonna guess 36D.

Anyone care to differ?

Arawana day, and we had a new guide for this one. This is Gabe. Hi Gabe…

Arawana is quite the collection of cunning stunts. Here’s Jack getting out cunned.

Jimmy has a tendency to make skinny stuff look easy.

Jerk.

Jack’s first road gap. He’s making this one look easy.

Everyone hit Bud Height. Ryan had a rough landing or two, but it was all good.

Some cheesy bluebird air shots.

Even Jack didn’t want to hit this one. Such a stupid landing…

We got three laps in , despite my forgetting the keys to the van at the bottom. Here we are during the retrieval phase. Sucks, doesn’t it?

Happy first day of summer.

Jack, Jimmy and Ryan are back for more. Too bad Jim didn’t make it up, but it sounds like he’s got lots on his hands this year.

For a change, I got the guys to come up to the Okanagan instead of just riding the Shore again. Here’s Jimmy and ryan rolling rocks Canadian style.

Jack has really stepped up his riding this year.

Well, old habits die hard I guess.

Look, it’s me!

Skogland came out for the tour too, but as time would tell, it wasn’t to be for long.

Here’s a long view of a new stunt on the Bog in Penticton.

Ye olde Knuckleduster gap.

Skogs puts some style into it.

Jim on the road drop.

…and Jim again over the Knuckleduster canyon.

This was pretty cool. We came across a mouse and a snake having a full on battle right in the middle of the trail. The snake won.

Dan had to head home. His grandma got sick all of a sudden, and he caught a plane out later in the day (she’s just fine now).
