The Wade Simmons Freeride Experience — Day IV

Posted on by Smoke

What a bunch of silly asses….

Day Four, and it’s time to hit Arawana. Still buzzing from Pwers Creek yesterday (how does each day get better than the last one?).

Oh, well I guess it’s just the company we’re keeping.

Luke is apparently very excited by this trail.

This is the trail which is home to the infamous “Bud Height” gap.

Here’s Nicole “just one more time” having another breakthrough.

Just another day at the office for Mr. Simmons.

Likewise for Ms Haley.

Of course it’s more than just hucks and gaps.

…and Gary proves that not all the landings are smooth.

But the cold ones at the beach are ALL smooth.

Yup, each day better than the last.

Now to really get this party rolling. It’s time to get the crew together…..

..and ride Powers Creek. Say hi to Dirty Dave Diggler (and Wade).

It was a typically crap kinda day out.

We hit up an alternate line today, replete with many stunts like this massive teeter line.

..and this brand new suspension bridge. Yeah, I almost fell off it, but I did get to the other side in one piece.

Here’s Luke tabling off one of the many fabulous airs in Powers.

The Man, cruising a ladder line.

Gary on Cock-Knocker.

Luke again, on the Ogopogo rail.

This one’s all me, on the Monster Amigo. Pretty much everyone stepped it up a notch today. I have a feeling that Wade was the only guy who didn’t hit a lifetime largest line today. Gary, Chris and Nicole hit the Camel Toe for their breakthroughs, Jim and I got the Shenanigans gap (even if Jim stuffed the runout), and the rest of the crew got the Amigo.

Here’s proof. Jim is wearing every tranny on the trail.

..and Nicole pays for her beer crimes.

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.
