You Guys Are Still Here?

Posted on by Smoke

What? It looked comfortable last night….

Off to Penticton today for a Bog session. ShortRound got some satisfaction the Jeep Line.

Javi killed the teeters…

..and Josh killed everything.

There was a bit of a session later on with an old gap too. Everyone was stepping it up.

Including Barb, who counts this as her biggest air to date. Roughly a 30 footer.

A nice all round scenic day, if you’reinto that sort of thing.

Looking fast…

Looking sorta stunned…

Lookin’ goooood.

Oh, so out of order on these shots…..here’s Josh on that gap.

Near the end there’s this sand pit drop….

…which kind of snuck up on Javi.

This is more like how it SHOULD be done. Actually, for allthat she was kind of scared of the sand, Linds killed this line the best.

Josh, making the most of the day….

Just kidding, Shortround. I know you like the goats better….

OK, some new terrain yet again for us today. We dropped in to the 3.5km etrace to Powers today to check out the new hits that the crew have been working on. They’re not quite ready yet ( and maybe a bit underbuilt), but they’re pretty sweet nonetheless.

Brad had no problems with it.

I never noticed this littel addition before either. Nice RST shocks…..

How about two riders on a stunt at the same time?

3How about 3? They must all be related…

Cool seeing guys that like riding EVERYTHING. So many people are just into one aspect of riding these days.

Holmes here is a dyed inthe wool BMX’r who has recently made the switch. Like they say, “Real men ride whatever the F%$# they want.”

We already knew about Willy. He even cleans the broken stuff (although Javi styled this the best, but I didn’t get a good shot of it).

More young’ns on big logs.

Now you can see the BMX stylee.

Of course, not all the airs went as planend. Then again, not everyone has a BMX background….

Shot of the day.

We got a little sideways before this session was done.

I think he likes it.

Sideways in both directions actually.

Shortround even got a little bit bent here.

Pushing the envelope a bit more. It’s just like BMX.

Really.

OK, a first here. Shortround chucks a road gap. Way to go, girl.

Yeah Willy, we already knew that you could do the big’uns.

Javi on the Shenanigans stepdown, proving he can hang with the Hicks.

Sylvester & Friends – Day 3

Each day better than the last, eh? You can’t NOT go to the Shore, so here we are….

After Pemby and Squampton, the Shore is EASY.

As always, Dan is along for the ride, and making us all look like chumps.

Well, not quite all of us. Richard (or is that Dave?) was charging lots of lines today.

Big wood, anyone?

OK, some gratuitous Millemium Log shots. I know, you’ve seen these angle bfore, but they don’t really get old, do they?

Further down we sessioned Salvation.

Showoff…

Tis is where things got weird. Kris Holm and a pack of uni-tards were out on Pangor, and few of them could actually ride.

See, this line is kind of tricky on two wheels.

Well, it took a couple of these guys to get 2 wheels down that one. Note the gap….

Meh…whatever. It’s still the MTB equivalent of a fat chick. Might be fun to ride, but not around friends….

2nd lap we got off the beaten path for a Dales/Aftertaste run. Still a classic…..

Aftertaste had a few surprises for us. This is a new line near the end, 2 huge linked rock faces with not quite enough room to stop in between. I think the steeps of the past couple of days must have made an impression, because Dave killed this line.

A great couple of days riding with some nice folks. I think they may be back…..

Now I have a four hour drive to my house, which sounds like it may have been invaded in my absence.
