Ruined – Day 5

OK, we’ve farted around enough for now. Time for the real goods.

That’s Andrew McIntosh, one of the builders in the Postill zone throwing down on the Ski Jump for the camera.

All the boys were getting a few good hits in here.

Even “What Has Poews Done” dropped a couple of good lines today.

Still, it was ‘Locals Only’ on the big boys lines.

However, there was time for payback a pllenty on the wall. Once Scott got going on this one there was no stopping him.

Jimbo had a few issues at first. It’s a big and intimidating line for sure, but once you get over the fear…

….Giddyup.

We also went for a little inspection lap of a new trail that is apparently just for Cyborgs.

It will be ready for human consumption sometime in 2009.

We finished off with another line called “Technical Difficulty” which incorporates some rad rock lines and a few ramps into a sweet combo of gnar for dessert.

Chocolate Feet – Day 7

A new zone for us today. I’ve never ridden Postill, so today would be the day.

There’s a lot of interesting stuff on this trail. Like this little wall ride….

Another random brit (Alex) showed up to show us all up today. He’s on a bit of a mission.

Mike took advantage of hitting the wallride early to try these antlers on for size.

Alex again, hangin’ out.

Of course, there’s more than just some walls on Addiction, so here’s the Deaner stepping one down.

BMX start for lap 2.

Matt gettin’ his gap on.

A random local getting some hangtime.

New guy Alex, loving life on the XC kit.

Todays random wildlife shot is a hummingbird. Really, it’s in there somewhere.

No hander.

That random local again with some flowers.

The Deaner.

Big Kev lays it out onthe wall.

And then lays it out in the grass with Matt. Watch out for that tree next time….

The Deaner on the stepdown again.

As it started to rain, we went off to check out Vapour, which has no stunts.

I still managed to find a slick log and destroyed my shin. YUCK!
