Puddle Peel Out – 2

Well, well, well.  Look what the cat dragged in.  That looks like one Brant Lyon to me.  thanks for bringing some nice weather, dude.

Yes…yes we are.   Erryday.

I was very, very busy today shuttling racers up to the top of Fox for their runs.  I lost count, but at least 12 laps.  And I didn’t get to ride any of them.  I did, however, manage to royally tick off a local.  She spat on my truck…see?

She was SO mad, I initially thought she was someone I knew taking the piss.  Turns out, nope.  Road rage is alive and well in the Cariboo.  I was turning around, but I guess not fast enough for some.  It’s not her fault.  Her trailer has been outgassing for years, and the fumes have finally taken their toll. 

No worries.  At least Nelly wasn’t late for her winning run.  Here she is getting her medal.

Then it was time for the jump jam, judged by the all star Peanut Gallery of Red Shred, James Doerfling, and Ian Hylands.  I saw various scores held up like ‘6’, ‘B’, and ’Play some AC/DC’.

The next two are guys tossing up some 3’s. They are NOT going backwards.

At least I got done early enough to crack off a lap on Master’s new trail, Backdoor.  Yes, I rode Chris’s Backdoor.  Don’t judge me, it was fun.

This is Gustav on one of the signature moves.

Oh, and our old pal Super T too.

It’s great to see Super T any time.  I think Aja agrees.  She seemed pretty stoked on the high level of “man candy” in the Puddle. 

Puddle Peel Out – 1

The more things change, the more they stay the same.  While it’s been a few years since we’ve done the 4:20, there’s always another excuse to go visit the Puddle.

Ride The Cariboo put on a gravity fest in Williams Lake this past weekend, so off we went to shred and provide some colour and support for the event.  We went up a day early to try to grab a few laps before going to work, and lo and behold but who should show up but Chris Glew, Dave Achtemichuk, and a few other miscreants who absconded with me to get a triple lap of Desous.

Chris and Chuck used to run tours under the Freeride Tours label.  It’s funny how often I ride in the Puddle with them.  Here we are being surprised by the dry conditions on Godspeed.

These horny fellas were just as surprised to see us.

Nice bum, where ya from?

Justin, up close and personal with Prime & Endless.

After 3 laps there, we went over to Fox Mtn. to help mark the DH course for tomorrow.  Local ripper and dark horse favourite Jeremy is drifting in to one of the final berms here while getting in some late practice.
