Corn Stars

What the hell kind of title is “Corn Stars,” anyway? Well, these happy kids are more of the HickHuckster variety, being from North Carolina and all, but Gary had these cool socks with a little corn husk and stars on ’em, so there you go.

Natasha (or Stash, as she gets called) is just so damn cute that I can’t think of anything to nickname her anyway.

After flying to Spokane, Gary and Stash drove up to be the first folks to experience the new Bush Pilot HQ. We got this party started right with a lap on Builders Only.

Nothing like jumping into it with both feet, eh?

Once the intimidation factor started to wear off, the kids got some flow going.

Blue skies and warm temps didn’t hurt there.

Plus, with the pair of them being in the National Guard back home, it was easy to give ’em orders. “Soldier! Send it!”

“Yessir! Sending it, sir!”

Darcy’s 48th — Day 2

There are times when you probably shouldn’t click on the pictures in this blog. The shot below definitely falls into that category. Think of it as a “before” and “after”, and remember; you’ve been warned.

Hey look, we went riding. There’s a new trail in Westbank by the name of “Builders Only.” Here’s Dave getting the feel of one of the new bridges.

Our courageous guide, Dirty Dave Diddler, came out to show us his new work. This is actually off the old line, but he rebuilt the deck as the old one was falling apart.

Another of the locals on a new stunt, which is a prime example of the “Must Have Stunt of 2006.” Step up gap to elevated platform with a gap and ending with a step-down.

They’re everywhere this year.

Bob keeps it anchored to the wood.

Barracho on a cool little corner step up/step down.

..and it s a bit blurry, but this would be Barracho againon his first road gap (Ok, it’s a mini one, but hte Camel Toe still hucks across a dirt road so I say it counts).

Not the driest long weekend on record.

Say hello to our trusty tow truck driver. The van wouldn’t start, and our guest of hnour (Darcy) buggered off to drink Jaeger so we had to call BCAA for a jump.

We got even…..
