Geile Titten – Coda

Posted on October 7, 2011November 17, 2011 by Smoke

Well, maybe “Reprise” would be a better title. Coda would imply a slower, shorter version of the preceding music, and these guys ain’t too slow…for Germans.

I just couldn’t resist. Sorry guys. Super stoked to see you come out actually. You’re enough fun to make my dog want to jump off a cliff.

Which was inspiration enough for Ralf. Looks like he’s recovered from the crash last week in Pemby.

The boys also brought along a new guy, Jeremias. I get the impression this ain’t his first rodeo. He’s been in country for a while, and he seems to have acclimatized.

Oh, and big ups to Vance for fixing the booter at the Gnarnia junction. It’s just a small jump, but it’s one of the more fun ones in the zone. As the guys found out, you don’t need too much speed for it (although landing flat ten feet past the tranny is kinda fun.).

As we had time for a few runs, we went with a Beer Run to finish off the day.

Perfect timing led to the Golden Hour in the grass.

Besides the Germans, we also had a random ONtario XC guy in the person of Ken joining us today. Gotta give full props to the guy for this, as he was in well over his head with this group, with a borrowed bike and first time shuttling, and still went the distance on the day.

Of course, no Beer Run is complete without hitting Ivy League.

Way to get your feet wet in the world of BC Freeride, Ken.

One of those double days. I got a couple of cool Germans on short notice, AND some OG’s from the coast were up. Looks like we all wanted to ride in the same place, so it’s a Naramata Supergroup kind of day.

Or just a super day. Whatevs.

You can always tell when the group is fast, because you’ll get a lot of shots like this where we’re standing still. It’s about the only time I get the camera out on days like this.

Sickbird.

Somebody has good style…

Quite the dusty day out there.

Round two we had to hit up Drops a Lot. The Germans loved the drops.

The Canadians? Well, Nigel found the landing the hard way.

Taking a couple of my sisters’ friends out today. Which is pretty brave, ’cause Blair doesn’t really ride much, and Chris may or may not be dating her. You’ve been treating her well, right dude?

Ahhh, he’s fine.

Didn’t really tell Blair what our riding is like either. We just threw him into the situation. Full props, he dealt with it; no worries. Chris has some mileage, so he was loving the trail.

I think having a bluebird day like this probably helped. Summer is winding down on the calendar, but it seems like there’s plenty of heat left. Here’s another one of Blair looking fly in those striped shorts.
