Still Glorious…

…but maybe little tired today.

Man, kids today. Send them out downhilling for a few thousand feet and they get all ti-ti.

They were doing Ok on CBC though.

It was still a GLORIOUS day out. Here’s Kurt out in the rainforest.

We did one run down Ned’s.

Later on we hit up some secret stuff into Deep Cove. I thought it was only a 1 foot drop. Maybe it was 2….

Dave was lying on his back, muttering “I see Blue, he looks…..GLORIOUS!”

Glorious

It’s not a word that we use much anymore. I resolveto make more use of it from now on….

Dave and Kurtis from T-dot are here for a couple of GLORIOUS days.

…And what a GLORIOUS beat down it was. Nothing like fresh meat for the machine, if youknow what I mean.

Dave gets loose on CBC.

Again on Pangor.

Kurt hanging on in GLORIOUS fashion across the Pangor swamp. He made it.

Angus did a run with us today. He was in fine form, testing the Banshee Bikes warranty policy.

Even better, some action. This is his line into the top of Empress. That’s the Chaparral he’s riding, not the Scream.

Return of the Real

The really wet that is. The long absent moisture has returned. I must have a new bike or something.

Anyway, Saturday I went and atoned for my sins by diggin in the rain for a few hours. I drove up into the pea soup fog and parked behind the concrete barrier at the top of CBC, then went and mixed up some sweet mud When I do trail maintenance, I like to listen to a little ACDC, so you can imagine my surprise when I heard a big THUMP over the wailin’ strains of Angus’ blistered fingers.

Some guy managed to park his Pontiac on top of the barrier, breaking off both front wheels in the process and showering my van with debris. His hood was about four feet from the roof of my van, actually. Stupid me, no camera. Oh well, I got lucky. Driver of the car got a ripped up lip ( I’d say around 8-10 stitches ) and a concussion. I felt sorry for his dog, stuck with an idiot like that for an owner……

Sunday I got a ride in with Brentomatic. He’s definitely getting faster. He brought these two guys along….

We all got introduced, but I forget the names in light of the past couple of days. The guy on the Brodie is pretty solid ( he stomped the new jump on CBC in the wet on sight), but the guy on the Kona was killing it all day. These shots are the new hip line below the PileDriver.

If you see this, put your names down in the comments will ya?
