Must be beer and cruiser night.
Hanging out at Danu’s new shop again, checking out the classic bike collection. Of course, I forgot to take a pic of the bikes he’s going to be actually building here. Oh well, I’ll get to it later.
HUKK bikes, if you ever see one, are going to built right on the North Shore. That’s a first in the industry. One day he’ll get his shit together and get a website up so you can admire his work.
Until that day, check out his cruiser collection…
Only 2 seats left on the Wade Simmons Freeride Experience!
I’ve spent my fair share of time in front of the camera as well as behind it and I know all too well what a day of shooting really means. Cold and wet and sitting around waiting for hours and hours, usually for nothing.
So when cam at NSMB called up and said that a local photography school was looking to do a day with the Freeride team (of which Barb is an honoured member), I figured “A ha!”
Revenge.
Plus, I bet them beer that I could get better shots with my little Canon then they could with their fancy dancy cameras.
Based on this supernatural shot of a snow ghost I think I’ve already won.
Very scary.
Also very scary is this video I picked up on over at the DrunkCyclist (I only read it for the articles, honest). Stupid song was stuck in my head all day, and now I have this strange desire to go and buy a track suit.
So you may have noticed that it was snowing a bit. The sun came out too.
All those photogs out ther made for some nice fill flash effects.
Brentomatic came out for the experience too. Do you believe he’s NEVER ridden Fromme before? He didn’t even fall in the swamp.
By the time we got to the Scapulator, the A students were definitely seperated from the B’s. This is an A….
I think we’ll give Jerry one too….
…and Ryan.
But Eamonn gets a B for the safety huck.
That’s right, the Wade Simmons Freeride Experience is back. An all inclusive*, fully exclusive tour of the BC hinterland with the godfather of freeride, Wade Simmons.
After a lot of consultation and negotiation, the dates are finally set. This August, from the 19th to the 27th. There are only 8 seats available for this epic experience. The focus of the trip is riding. Every day, all day. We will be visiting several world class hot spots for off roading, including the legendary North Shore and Wade’s home town of Kamloops.
This will truly be an experience to remember. Wade’s gifts as an athlete go beyond his skill with the bike. As a long time riding partner, I can attest to the fact that Wade will inspire your riding to new heights of skill and creativity. No one will go away from this trip unaffected by it. You will be a new rider, and a better one because of it.
Of course, many of you will be thinking that you aren’t good enough to ride with The Man. Pffffft, that’s crazy talk. First of all, the fact that you are thinking that way is a sign that you are ready. Secondly, attitude is everything. If you are over 19, can handle 2-3 foot drop offs, are reasonably fit, and have an open attitude towards new experiences, then this trip is for you.
