Seymour

It’s a Shore Thing

Posted on by Smoke

Whaddya mean it’s a big climb?

Oh. Now I get it.

We had another Brit in attendance today. Ed from London came out for a spin.

We checked out the usual stuff on the way up. Wade’s legbreaker gap, Digger’s Cliff, the start of Jerry Rig.

And the Circus.

For all you Florida types who think you can do it, let me tell you something.

You can’t.

It’s hard.

Even Scott agrees.

Here he is dwarfed by the forest on Upper Oil Can.

Dropping in on another.

Ed “I’m not very good” gives himself a scare on Big Smooth.

Scott gets the job done on Sideshow. What a sick pic.

Ed again on Ladies Only.

…and Boombatz on the Lower Ladies rollercoaster.

After this we went for some eats and hit up a speed run on Seymour. No pics, only riding.

Excellent day. I bonked hard and passed out early. Tomorrow is another big day.

Santos :: Round II

Posted on by Smoke

OK, today was really slippery, even by Shore standards.

The wildlife didn’t sem to care though. I’ve seen more fawns this year than the rest of my life combined.

First round, Cypress. Wild Cherry and the Roach.

The boys at the top of the Cherry.

Round two was the Pre-Reap, Reaper, Paul Hogan, Firehose, and Family Guy.

Here’s Brent on the Pre-Reap rock slab.

OK, so it’s a bit blurry. How often do you get TWO guys falling on their asses in one shot? And they’re not even riding. Check out Edward (on the left). Both his heels are off the ground.

Jason again, on the Firehose wall.

Round 3, back to Seymour. CBC, TNT, Dirty Diapers, and Ned’s.

Brian on Ned’s.

Edward “I’m just going to sit this one out”, on one of the Ned’s ramps.

Brian throwing down a nice gap.

After the ride we hit up the ole Cactus Club for some food ane scenery. Thanks for a fun couple of days. Next year it’s gonna be ten days.

The Return of Santos and Crew

Posted on by Smoke

For the third straight year. Eric is my very first paying customer. He’s up on one of Shandro’s camps at Whistler.

This year he brought back with him Brent, Edward, Jason, and new guy Brian.

…and some rain.

A true classic Shore day. Actually, it was raining so hard that it was actually pretty grippy out there.

Brent on CBC.

Brian falling off Pangor.

Edward, on it.

Eric and Edward, lost in the rainforest. Lap two it stopped raing and got slick out. Slip slidin’ away…
