Silver Star!

First time out at the bike park this year, and there’s all these homeboys.  Ahh, it must be the good old AirPrentice, which is a lot like Canada’s Next Top Model, except that it’s dudes on bikes and instead of crying hot chicks you get pimply dudes bleeding.

Cam may look innocent, but notice that he’s on the left, or sinister, shoulder whispering sweet nothings.

One of the hopefuls with some nice whip style.  Shortly after this, I saw a guy throw a 450 spin off the ramps in the background.  He somehow stuck it, and on a hardtail with only a rear brake.  He won.

Today was more about riding with the ladies though.  Barb logged 10 laps on her hardtail, and we spent over half the day shredding with Sarah.  Solid day, and not a bad lap count considering the 15 minute line ups.  We were even able to get up the chair 15 minutes past last run to snag a Stubbies lap at the end.

More Silverstar

You know, you get Barb out on the bike and all she wants to do is work.  Poor guy, broke his arm pretty bad.  At least he’s in good hands.  I think I counted 6 1st Aid professionals in attendance at one point.

This one’s for Sheffy, who has a hell of a time with this quad teeter totter maneuver on LTG.  Barb of course nailed it easily…

…and a shot of my honey on a nice stepup.  Big thanks to the grandparents for watching Chevy all day so we could rip up the ‘Star together. Barb may have taken most of the year off of riding, but you wouldn’t know it if you were following her.  She’s still a force out there.

Gone Coastal

OK, we’re over the edge now.  I just had to wait until it rained again, and then we could go riding.

We stayed with the Redneck himself last night, so it was full B-Team action today.  Check out the playlist…..

Gotta love GWAR.  Jeff was inspired today I think.   

It was probably Barb being a bad influence that did it.

Do you believe it?  A year with only a couple of rides….

..and she stuffs the swivel totter. 

Yeah….

Like I’ve EVER cleaned that thing.  Good times, and wicked riding.  I think it’s time to put the bike away now. 

Hey everyone, that was another incredible season.  I’ll blast out a “Best Of…” in time for Christmas.
