Ooooooo…..the Puddle. We got here early, but Tyler and company didn’t pull in until really late. Oh, and due to my casual style of instructions they got a little bit lost. Luckily, they brought some girlies with them to get them back on track.

Like how Barb is navigating this log on Hillbilly Deluxe…

We hooked up with some locals, as always. Here’s James Doerfling, of Radical Films fame and fortune, flinging himslef on one of the many killer booters to be found in the Puddle.

Our pal Simon (who was kind enough to show us Gold River earlier in the year), was along and hit up a bunch of the road gaps to be found out there.

Oh James….

Same hit, but weird angle. Look close, he’s fully clicked on that one.

Hi Tyler…

Holy V-Tach. Barb is nailing huge hits every time we go out now. That’s a road gap, boys.

Simon gets the score evened for the boys….

….but then Fiona nailed it right after. Yeah……the girls were killing it again today.

Our other lovely lady, Kat, shows us her potential as a hand model. Lucky Mug….

Lots of new work inthe Puddle this year. With the full approval of government, the trails are being expanded up there.

They’re not holding back much either. About the only concession they’ve made is to have most of the wooden structures in one area to make the insurance issue easier to deal with down the line. Huge gaps and drops are everywhere, and these skinny lines are awesome, if a bit taxing (and hard on the chin if you miss).

The old standbys like Sick and Nasty are still there.

And they can still put the fear into the stoutest heart. Fiona almost hit a tree and put the fear in mine, let me tell ya….

A post ride session in Shreddies hot tub and some good times with the mug finished off a spectacular day.
