The Wade Simmons Freeride Experience — Day IX

Posted on by Smoke

Adventure?

More like “Death March.”

So it’s the last day. Here’s the survivors, in all their glory. You will probably notice that Norco Jim has morphed from a 16 stone Englishman into a 14 kg. Mexican. Look, it was a hard week…..

OK Dan, you’re offically over the broken collarbone.

Chris pulls the blind nonstop run into Massage Therapy in full control.

Wade steps up.

Alonso, aka the Mexican Wade Simmons, followed suit.

Nicole gets some vert with this mega rock wall.

More insane wood work from WS.

THAT was one hell of a tour. If I had to rate the trips (and I’m about to) I’d have to say that THIS TRIP WAS THE BEST ONE WE’VE EVER DONE!

Massive props to Gary, Chris, Nicole, Jim, Stu, Luke, Dan, Rob, special guests from all over, Barb, Harley, Mr Simmons, the Pixies, any else………

Day 2, and it’s time to get the stray bodies loaded up and in the van.

We drove up to the Okanagan for the first part of the tour and hit some easier stuff in Penticton to get the flow going. Not many shots from today, just getting the bugs worked out, eh?

Here’s Wade hamming it up on a little gully booter for ya.

Barb is thinking about a new solo career….

….but the rest of the band is more concerned with the beers and the fire.

German Freeride — Day IV

Ahhhh, back to Powers Creek. Here’s Dirty Dave riding one of his crazy creations.

And here’s the Speedometer dropping in. The other guys in the crew were really starting to click here.

…and here.

Also Skinny Man, was getting some and really laying the foundation for a things to come later in the trip. I can’t believe that his bike help up to the abuse it got on this tour. Check that thing out. 5″ little hit bike, second hand and bought just for the trip.

Well, I guess things were giong just a little bit too good. It’s always wisest to look before you leap. Let this be warning to all of you Dainese believers out there. They are great for scrapes and cuts, but not so good when it comes to more serious injuries. Don’t think you’re invincible or this could happen to you….

…cause man, you know that’s going to hurt later (let alone the four ribs just below that).

Bummer dude. Hope you heal up soon.
