Chris and Some Locals

Another returning customer today. Chris from Edmonton visited a couple of years ago and is passing through town, so we hooked it up with
Chuck D. Railer and Dirt Dropout for some runs up on the Bog.

Chris was stomping all the skinnies and drops on sight, so we’re probably gonna have to find a mountain bike porn name for him soon, too.

Not that Chris was any slouch last time he was out, but he’s definitely improved his game over the last couple of years.

One of our young guns (Nik), is also starting to get into the BC flow. This isn’t a big move, but it is tricky.

Look closely at this next one. Chris is suspended on that rock. Cool line.

Kurt on an old teeter. What goes up…

…must come down.

We felt that 2 Bog laps was plenty, so it was back to the Mice for some more flow and vert on Drops A Lot. young Zack is coming along nicely. Gotta beef up them pinner legs there, sonny, but you’re good enough to hang with the old guys now.

No hesitation from the Chris man either.

Zack kinda blew the takeoff on this hip too, but the camera seems to like him. A lucky shot caught his good side even when it was going wrong.

We also went for our first visit to our friend Rich’s new winery, Misconduct. Excellent hooch from an excellent dude. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the grapejuice, my friend. I’d link up your website, but so far it’s not there. You can always try this link for Misconduct Winery if you’re looking for some info.

Penticton Trail Building

After some recent comments on the Smoke Room, I realized it’s high time someone went and did something about the sad state of affairs down on the Peat Bog.  So instead of trying to rally the troops I just strapped on the 100 lb pack and went down and buffed out the old Bog by myself.

It’s back to stock original if you’re around Penticton.  In the process, I ran into some old TOPSOG riders that were building some new eyesores near the bottom.  Here’s a shot of Troy on the old Emergency Exit log:

This would be the new Sundowner Drop they built.

If flat landings, blind exits, and ugly woodwork are your thing, welcome to the Old School!
