ChocolateFoot – Day 1
Did someone say “Marmalade?”
I’m telling you again, I just can’t make these people up. Another gang of Brits. These fellows come to us via a strange and wondrous place known as ChocolateFoot. Go hang out on their forum. I bet someone tries to sell yo a bag o badger dung within five minutes. Seriously.
Anywhoo, I have a feeling that none of them invisioned these f star accomodations when they signed on.
As previously mentioned, we overlapped with the last day of the Jedi Tour in the Woodlot. Pretty cool, but lots of Englishmen in one place eh? At least we had Barb and Courtenay along to keep the egos firmly disciplined.
Meeeow. The Jedi crew got Wa into riding in the first place, so it was pretty cool having them all out at the same time.
It was also cool to have some fresh legs to inject a little energy into the system. Everyone had a great vibe going and lots of trail got chewed up in no time.
Ahhhh, the new kids are going to be OK.
Wa got over his fear of heights pretty quickly.
..and his fear of snakes.
Dom didn’t appear to be afraid of anything.
And Tom just slept a lot.
Revenge of the Sith – Day 9
Now that we’re back in the Okanagan, we’d better take the time to ride Powers Creek.
Is that….PAUL? It IS Paul! On a gap no less. He’s been holding out.
Of course, you are spared the endless run-ins, but he seems to be the sleeper hit of the tour.
Oh look, its Paul on another gap. Ho hum, it’s not a surprise now.
…and we already know he could ride ramps.
This is me, not crashing.
This is Barb, also not crashing.
Same girl, same stunt, same result.
Oh Tony…..
Uh oh, that shouldn’t have hurt that much. This stunt shall hereafter be known as the “Jedi Fucker.” Dave likes to give stunts rude names so that little kids can swear at their parents.
Now, while Tony was pretty sore after that crash, he was still in the game for another ride if he throttled back, so that’sw what he did. Unfortunatle, he slipped a pedal shortly after this and caught the backspin right on the sore spot. Which pretty much finished him. Fractured tibia. Bummer. I guess that’s what happens when you stay out all night….
The rest of the crew kept on charging.
Panama managed to catch up to himself on this spiral ramp.
Say hi to Dirty Dave, the architect of this particular zone.
Craig was also out partying with Jedi until the wee hours, but seemed to be handling it a bit better.
Until this miscalculation the wall.
If you look closely you’ll see his tibia. Nothing that a few pieces of tape won’t fix.
That was 13 stitches if you were curious….
