Old Chocolate Feet

 

Haven’t seen much of Wa since he moved to Canada.  Funny how that happens when they move closer.  Too busy with all the distractions that Canada has to offer I guess.

He’s finding out about German cars and Canadian bugs, for instance.

We just did a quick couple of laps on the local trails, and checked out a new stunt on Builders Only.  Dave’s been busy.

Still tough to top the Crazy Train for fun. 

Always a treat when Wa comes to visit.  Gotta get that guy up here more often.

Mission Creek Bike Park Officially Open!

Yeah, it was late and over budget.  What did you think was going to happen?  At least the city provided ALL the right amenities..

There was also a great turnout for a blazing hot summer day.  We hit 36C in the park by noon, and all these rippers were still throwing down.

Deputy Mayor Angela Gutzman did the honours.

Now THAT’S how you cut a ribbon.  The dude is the head of the parks dept. in town.

Had to do a few more runs to cut the ribbon, but that first one was the best one.

Local superstar Casey Groves put in an appearance and gave a couple of great interviews to the local media.

Graham Agassiz also showed up.

…and our own Andrew McIntosh went old school and broke the helmet rule on his vintage Rocky Mtn. Equipe.

Looking forward to many more years of good times at the park.
