NSMBA Trail Day on Seymour

Posted on August 17, 2003June 7, 2011 by Smoke

Leandro got here a couple of days before the Germans, and I did the usual treatment I give to people that just got off a 20 hour plane ride from South America. We went riding.

Here’s Leandro on his first log ride on Seymour.

Here are the results:

Leandro has four photo stores back in Brazil. Check them HERE.

Anyway, I think it was an eye opener for him. The next day we hooked up with some of the On Top crew for some Cypress shuttles. Drew something-or-other pro snowboarder guy was charging hard.

Right click HERE and save for a cool little video clip.

There were also a few mis placed Aussies trying to figure it all out. Light was sketchy, and it was actually wet in there.

Unreal.

Here’s the parking lot mist — haven’t seen this in a while.

Couldn’t even get any decent shots it was so dark. And the Konica I tried out hee was a piece of crap. Still, some artsy fartsy renditions of the Shore for you to peruse.

Cool little teeters and some nice jumps. Cypress is awesome.

Gotta go, just had a trail day with the NSMBA and I am completely thrashed.

More Seymour Riding

August 2nd saw the return of Eric Santos, this time with friends in tow.

Eric has the unassailable honour of being the very first client of Bush Pilot Biking.

Due to the unexplained presence of live ammunition in a washroom in the secure area of Vancouver Airport, the boys got to town a little too late to get an evening ride in so wew went up to the British Properties for a little tailgate party and fireworks. Not quite riding but still pretty cool.

Sunday morning we hit Seymour for a couple of runs. In attendance were:

Eric, Jason, Brent, Anton, Sagit, and Edward.

Here’s JAson ripping CBC.

This is Brent on the same bridge.

…and again just around the corner.

Eric had to do it too. Actually, everyone rode really well.

Anton was on the hardtail showing us all how it’s done. Here he is on the Gerbil Cage of CBC.

Down on the Corkscrew log.

….and dropping the log on Ned’s.

Barb was on fire. Usually just a blur.

Here’s Brent and Andrew at the Corkscrew log.

And Sagit (thanks for letting me use your camera) throwing down on Ned’s.

Killer shots on this day, and an awesome crew of riders. You guys had better come back for more than just one day next year.

Next update: Germans and Brazilians.

I get some rest now. I’ve ridden 60 of the last 75 days and I’m pretty beat. Recharge starts now.

Oh yeah, I have a better digi cam now. The Canon S400. Way better than that Konica crap. Show you some shots from it soon.

C Ya.

Riding Mt Seymour

Well, a lot can happen in a couple of days. I’ve been out on the road again with a multi-national crew consisting of two Germans and a Brazilian. Today we were joined by two DamnYankees and three BloodyAussies. I’ll let you know about them in a couple of days, but first I have to finish up with the OrangePickers.

And, about that camera thing. I bought a Konica digital the other day. What a piece of crap. Save yourself the hassle and get a Sony or a Canon. I haven’t decided which one is for me yet, but I will make up my mind in a day or two.

Anyway, back to the riding.

We went back to the Shore for two days of full on riding. We barely stopped to take pics, hence the thin selection.

Here is the van voiding it’s contents at the top of Seymour.
