Presenting Callum from the UK and Christian from Ecuador. Also our first Ecuadorian. Very cosmopolitan, this Bush Pilot experience.

I have to give a huge shout out to ChroMag Bikes for their awesome frames. Ian has no idea that I’ve been shredding it up on their bike lately, but I gotta say that it’s a good’un. I’ll be posting some gushing, unsolicited testimonials on the forums soon. If you believe in the power of steel, give the ChroMag a look.

Here’s a shot of one.

That’s the top of the tripod trail in the sunny Okanagan. Easter in Canada. 28 degrees Celsius, or about 80 in the old scale. Who knew?

Here’s another ChroMag style shot.

Apparently the local elk population likes to expire on bike trails.

Anyway, here’s another shot of the top of the Tripod trail. You can see the Cathedral and Pasayten ranges on the horizon.

Here you can see how pristine the riding is. This was more of an intro day, as Callum and Christian are both rookies as far as Canadian mountain biking is concerned.

More dead elk. This one seems to have had some help from a .45 caliber. Rednecks suck. At least have the decency to eat what you poach.

Here’s Christian picking up some log riding skills.

…and Callum shoming a bit of leg.

This is me. Can’t you tell?

Oh yeah, it was Show’N’Shine in Penticton. Here’s two of my faves.

Another artsy-fartsy ChroMag shot.

Check the detail out.

Round two was a canyon descent. We were running late, so we didn’t take too many shots. This should give you the gist of it.

More stuff to come.
