Who Could Imagine…..

….that they would Freak Out?

In Penticton? (Pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen…..)

Huge day.

Absolutely epic.

Ladies and Gentlemen, present you with 3 runs of the Peat Bog.

Go go Gadget Legs.

Stouph, expressing his sensitivity through fashion.

Paul, gettin rad.

Jedi on Emergency Exit.

Martin on the double teeter.

More homoerotic type shenanigans.

Way-y-y-y up there.

Stouph, seconds before a quadruple flat fest.

Dropping!

Now for the Knuckleduster SkyBridge Gap. Finally, a half decent shot of yours truly.

Gnarly Bird gapping my girlfriend.

Yep, they’re real. Both of them (pssst! Down here!)

For the last run, a full top to bottom down Ellis Canyon.

Right to the beach.

..and another shitty day in Paradise comes to a close.


‘Ooligans on ‘Oliday

OK, here it is.  The trip you’ve all been waiting paitiently for. 

13 maniacs from the UK. 

13.

Jedi, Skip, Chaos, Llew, Rocket, Emandem, Marvellous (or Rowan), Stuff, Ed, Mark, Pierre, Stew, and Paul (or Pole as I hear it pronounced).

With myself, Barb, and our illustrious assistant Nelly of To the Top Freeriding that’s 16.

That’s way too many.  I figured after a day at Whistler we’d be cutting that number back a bit.

(For those of you who don’t know yet, Whistleris a bit of a meat grinder.)

Anyway, here’s the boys getting unloaded at midnite at Casa de Smokie. 

 

We got up early and headed straight to Whistler with the crew.  Here we are up on the top of Garbonzo getting to know each other.

 

…and riding it. 

Here’s Skip dropping a rack face on Original Sin.

The soon to be infamous Chaos on the Clown Shoes drop.

Well, we got through the day without incident, and all had a great day.  We spent the night at Ticket to Ride BC, the best accomodations in Whistler at only $30 a night.

One day down.  Good start.  Tally ho gents!
