A Big Seymour Day

After hitting the wall hard last night, I was ready to charge.

Scott, however, was feeling the effects of Canadian beer.

We hit Seymour hard, riding CBC twice, TNT, Dirty Diapers, Ned’s, Fisherman’s, Corkscrew, a new trail (the Angry Penguin?), Pingu, Boogieman, Baden-Powell, Emergency Exit, Fed Bear/ Dead Bear, and Kelly’s.

Quite the list.

…and on the extension.

Here’s a shot of the gap on Ned’s.

On the second lap we checked out Mark’s new trail. He wants to call it something dirty, like Tossed Salad. I suggested Angry Penguin because it links up to Pingu. This shot is of a teeter-totter with a couple of corners in it. Should be rideable in a week or so.

This trail is going to be sick. A huge wall ride, some crazy step up teeters, and a turntable. Plus a bunch of gaps and drops.

Scott also managed to hit the Piledriver. And smear it. Well, it is traditional to bail on your first time of it, and he’s getting pretty tired after a week of heavy riding.

That’s it, one more day to go.

Actually,I’m getting a little tired of the Brits dropping their pants every excuse they get. This is the repressed coast, not London. Oh well, at least they’re clean.

Anyway, finally we hit up the Shore. Two runs of Seymour today. Lots of hotspots in the woods so you will have to get used to the sepia tone.

First up, CBC.

Powerful Pierre.

A wicked shot of Mark on the Gerbil Cage.

It was about here that things got a little complicated. Ed decided to fall off the log. Not a bi deal, but unfortunately the nature of his injuries left us little choice but to call in the Paramedics and Search and Rescue. In the end, it was a serious bruise on the pelvis. No serious harm, ladies.

Hey Ed, Monday is the finger day. Today is Wednesday. Wednesday is a wanking day.

It was only a 90 minute exercise, and then back to the trails. Here’s Jedi and a big woody.

Since the day was dragging, we hit up Pangor to get our flow going.

Second run, Boogieman. Everyone was pretty well punched, but we managed to hit up everything but the Piledriver. In all fairness, the boys were killing way bigger stunts but the fatigue and the ballbearing conditions conspired. Not to mention that Ed was in the hospital.

Emandem on the narrow thing beside it.

Rush hour on the corkscrew log.

Check out how hot it is. That’s the only sprinkler around.

Americans, Germans, and Brits

It’s D-Day.

The Limeys get here in a few hours and what am I doing? Screwing around on the computer.

Gary has been staying with us all week, and we’ve been doing a couple of laps a day. Of cocurse, I have no pics of Gary at all this week. Maybe later.

Jim and Aimee from Orange County were in again as well. They are both riding the best we’ve ever seen. We used film on them, so there might be some shots in a month or so. I never use film anymore so maybe there won’t be any at all.

Have a look at these guys. Jurgen is from Germany. He’s never ridden anything remotely theis technical. He got it figured out soon enough.

This is Josh from Texas. I heard Texas and I figured he was going to suck.

“Actually, I’m from Georgia”

Ri–g-g-ght. The HickHucksters ride again.

Homeboy had it wired from the get go.

Here he is on the infamous Boogieman log on lap two.

And he’s going to be an eye surgeon. Interesting choice of sports for a surgeon.

I leave you with this.

I’ll be out on the road for a week or more, so you will have to amuse yourselves for a bit. See ya soon….
