Die Rasenmaher – Day 6

Posted on by Smoke

On familiar ground again. Yup, back to Seymour. Gotta love the home turf.

I think Stefan likes it too.

The weather was still cool, but much drier than yesterday, to the point where we could ride skinny stuff.

Rob J. got all twisty on us.

Ralph likes the airtime.

Wicked misty out, makes for classic Seymour shots.

Nadine got her ticket.

Here’s a different angle for you. Most people who ride CBC have no idea that the trailis this high in the air in places.

Down lower we got into Salvation.

Even Peter got into the wall rides.

Stefan continued to rock the blue jeans, even though we weren’t at Whistler anymore.

Ja, Ralph likes the airtime.

So does Stefan.

..and Holger.

oooooh…..airtime shot of the day goes to Martin.

..but shot of hte day has to be one of the following sunset shots of Walter the Austrian.

Cool shots, and getting those killer images probably makes up for me drooling all over his wife (Sabine) all week. Super nice folks, Walter and Sabine. If you ever want to go and ride in Sallbach, they have the best guesthaus in town.

Die Rasenmaher – Day 4

Back to Whistler. We had hoped to get up Rainbow today, but I wasn’t really willing to go unless t was sunny, and it most definitely was NOT sunny up there today. Full on massive black clouds sitting right on the landing zone. Oh well, lets go session A River Runs Through it.

One nice thing about the overcast was great light in the woods. Here’s Karen showing her professional side. She and Holger ALWAYS get the good shots.

The lovely Sabine from Austria.

I think you’ve already met Nadine. Yeah, surrounded by blonde lovelies. Sometimes I hate my job….

Look, another one! (Hi Linda)

Then a bit of sun came out, so it was time to play with the motion blur.

The colours were so rich. It’s that time of year when summer is over, but it isn’t quite fall yet.

This one is supa cool. I love the happy accidents.

Here’s the famous log bridge crossing (the same one that took out Oscar from Florida). I was really trying to get a sunburst effect without blurring, but no dice. These two shots are the best of a bad bunch.

Then back to the bush to session some skinnies. Ralph stomps a teeter.

I wonder what Holger thought he was going to do by spotting. Probably get squished. Rob J. isn’t too worried, as he’s a moderatley famous freerider in Europe. If you saw the 2007 Marzocchi article in Decline, you’ve seen Rob J before.

Round and round she goes…..

Fun with the drawbridge. I think we got more than half the crew over this one.

Unfortunately, my knee (which will never be the same after the Epic) chose this moment to go sideways on me, so I wasn’t able to go down to Trainwreck for the next stage, but maybe tomorrow it’ll be OK. I think a big sushi feed tonight will make it all better….
