Wait…is this before or after the ride? Sort of hard to tell with Team Shuttlewhore on the scene.

Sharon, inone of her final duties as President of the NSMBA.

Check out the reflection of the Tantalus in the Squamish estuary.

Dropping in…

Another crap day for a heli ride.

Check out the moon. I guess it’s been exactly 2 months since my last confession.

Airing it out on the Lions Back.

Wall ride….

Trail Day — Pangor

Posted on by Smoke

Yup, another one. Sorry I’m late with the post. I’m a slacker.

Not like these guys…look at them dig.

Must have been all that coffee that Bean Around the World poured into them in the morning.

Well, and this gas powered winch helped. That’s anew move I like to call a “Skrinny” or a Sketchy Rock Skinny…

Ooops. Ran outta gas. Let’s see what’s for lunch then.

Ahhh. Burgers, dogs, and salmon from Schneiders, the Cove, and of course Barb (and the Crab Shack helped out too).

Dave from Dave’s on Esplanade came by to help cook. He has no website. Just drop in, under the theatres near Lonsdale Quay.

Alright enough plugging of the sponsors (also .243 Racing, Hoots, and the mighty NSMBA), more digging, less eating.

NIce jump, oh wait, its a berm.

No really, it IS a berm.

Seems like its getting late, better just work harder. You guys look like you’re slacking off a bit.

Just in time for first tracks.

…and second tracks.

Some video HERE of the berm. It’s not a jump.

SPOKE — Ride With a Pro

Posted on by Smoke

Sweet, I’m a pro.

Did a little charity work of sorts this week. Gotta encourage the youngn’s to get out there and ride, dont ya know? To that end, I went out for an XC ride with SPOKE, a high school racing league. A bunch of pros showed up, including Wade, Elladee Brown, Lisa Sher, Jenelle Cassidy, and Nels (uh oh, missed his last name. One of the Wrld XC champs at any rate). It was fun, although a bit of a struggle for my fat ass. Spring training is a bit late this year. Huge props to Tyler Morland for lending me a bike to ride. Thanks buddy.

Hi Elladee….

Anyone want Wade’s signature?

I think that might be a yes. I even got to sign a few (cue sound of ego inflating). I actually doubled my all time signature signing total here. Neat.

So we did a bit of a climb. Hey, it’s hard to keep a true Sportsman down. Just say no to crack, kids.

Some random riders on the descent.

..and there you have it. Next up, NSMBA Trail Day on Salvation and Corkscrew. Be there…..
