Haven’t seen much of Wa since he moved to Canada. Funny how that happens when they move closer. Too busy with all the distractions that Canada has to offer I guess.
He’s finding out about German cars and Canadian bugs, for instance.
We just did a quick couple of laps on the local trails, and checked out a new stunt on Builders Only. Dave’s been busy.
Still tough to top the Crazy Train for fun.
Always a treat when Wa comes to visit. Gotta get that guy up here more often.
Even more Bananas today. First, check out the custom Toyota stickers the Aussie rider had.
Nic was all fired up after our warmup laps last week, so today she was on a mission to destroy the Powers Creek trails.
Mission Accomplished!? Well, maybe we’ll not go all Bush and wait until the end of the day, but so far so good.
George was up again too, and he has a new girlfriend. Maybe that’s why he looked sorta tired. That guy can ride this trail with his eyes closed though, so not a problem.
Moaty was his usual self. Not bad, for a 39 year old.
Looks Australian to me.
My cliche flower shot.
Nic, getting a bit nose heavy here.
Moaty, a bit nose light.
Another panorama shot. Sorry about the bum shot, Nic, but it turned out pretty rad.
Dropping on the same stunt.
OK, to make up for the bum shot here’s a rad angle for Nicole.
…and another one.
OK, Mission Accomplished! Check out the Cheshire grin.
We banged off four laps today, so here’s a few more from 2.5 for you to enjoy.
Awesome day. We’ll do another one up tomorrow with these guys, as it’s Alan’s birthday. Stay tuned…
In this corner, sleeping soundly, we have Jessamy Tippie. And in the corner, fast asleep, we have Siobhan Matthews. Now fight!
OK, maybe I’ll take care of the kids while the moms go ride.
Which looked really good up until about a half second after this shot was taken and Sarah ate shit into the gravel at the bottom of this ramp. Dang…
Oh well, there’s always round 2.
Oh hey, that’s me!
…and that’s Barb!
Barb was really gunning for her first hardtail takedown on Crazy Train, and there it is.
So Brett had to do it too. But he’s on a big bike, so it wasn’t as cool.
A fast third round ensued after the Hylands arrived. That’s Ian and Kainoa there. We had a great base camp setup at a friendly neighbour at the bottom of the Powers Creek trails, then we removed to Peachland for some sushi and playtime in the park.
“Uncle Tippie, we are not amused.”
Hah! Even Chev’s has his number. Round 2 tomorrow…
