Today we hit up Powers Creek in Westbank. I’ve never ridden there before, but thanks to the magic of hte NSMB.com bulletin boards I was able to meet up with Diddler, who has been a very busy boy building new stunts on Powers.

The trail starts pretty mellow. With a bit of rain threatening, and the wet summer we’ve been having it felt a lot like north van. Some really cool stunts started us off, including a spiral ramp and lots of little step downs.

There’s a metric ton of skinny stuff, and most of it is completely overbuilt. Really solid work here. One stunt was called Cock-Knocker, and Ed found out why in a big hurry. His only words as he rolled onthe ground clutching at his nether region were, “I hope the next one isn’t called ‘Anal Breach.’ “

There’s also some nice natural lines to be had.

Diddler is a machinist by trade, so there is also a lot of unique metal additions to the trails.

Also, if you like wall rides, well…..

…this is your kind of place.

Or maybe you prefer massive air? Jedi gets some on Shenanigans.

I mnanaged to get to the front of the pack on Monster Amigo. Yes, I am freaking out in that shot.

Barb had a bit more style on it.

A massive session was had all day. If you want to check out Powers Creek, just stop in at Outbound Cycle in Westbank. They are more than happy to show you around the trails.

After several beers at the local pub, we retired to Summerland for beers, the hot tub, and dinner.

I think we need a bigger hot tub or fewer men next year.
