Sierra/North Again

Another blue sky day in paradise. We lined up some Penticton action today, as yesterday was going to be impossible to top.

Just as well that we stayed sort of local. The harsh shuttle roads finally took their toll on the van. Here’s what a busted lower control arm looks like.

Luckily with a bit of ingenuity we were able to get the van out of the bush to where it could get towed.

Oh, and it didn’t stop us from getting a ride in, even f it was a little bit shorter than I’d planned.

I love mine too.

You Guys Are Still Here?

What? It looked comfortable last night….

Off to Penticton today for a Bog session. ShortRound got some satisfaction the Jeep Line.

Javi killed the teeters…

..and Josh killed everything.

There was a bit of a session later on with an old gap too. Everyone was stepping it up.

Including Barb, who counts this as her biggest air to date. Roughly a 30 footer.

A nice all round scenic day, if you’reinto that sort of thing.

Looking fast…

Looking sorta stunned…

Lookin’ goooood.

Oh, so out of order on these shots…..here’s Josh on that gap.

Near the end there’s this sand pit drop….

…which kind of snuck up on Javi.

This is more like how it SHOULD be done. Actually, for allthat she was kind of scared of the sand, Linds killed this line the best.

Josh, making the most of the day….

WFSE – Day 8

Wait a sec….weren’t we just in the Kootenays? How’d we get to Penticton?

Yep…that was a late night drive if there ever was one. Owing to my stupidity of the day before, I elected to take today off and rest the arm a little, but my bike got to get out and play courtesy of Danika.

Dang that bike looks good.

So, without the fearless leader, the crew had a solid session on the Peat Bog today. With Danika and Barb setting the pace, everyone else sent petty much all the moves out there on sight.

Some stuff, like this jump in particular, got sessioned to death.

Can’t blame them for wanting more of this action though.

Maybe because I couldn’t come along, they took more pics for me to vicariously experience the day? I don’t know….

Here’s Nicole styling a little techy corner that most folks avoid. Sort of a little corkscrew/wall drop thing…

Ho hum….floater wood table…

Second time around, and Nicole just HAS to get this teeter figured out…

I think it was just a ploy to end up in George’s arms….

Meh…just a thought. Realy, they were gettingit together for Knuckleduster.

Nice no-hander, Wade.

Hey, Niclas is going sort of big today.

Oh wait…so is Nicole. You know, I think less than a half-dozen girls have hit that thing.

Of course, you can’t win ’em all…

Oh….that’s how its supposed to go. Now I get it.

See? Perfect sense…

Lower down, there’s a good sized gully to hit. Gotta be about 30 feet-ish. See it…

…hit it. George gets inspired and nails it. Man…I remember when stuff like that seemed big.

Oh wait, it still does….
