Chocolate Feet – Day 4

Posted on by Smoke

OK, I skipped an update. Relax…. we are.

Slow start to the day, and we’re on Powers again.

Had to have a bit of a sesh and get these hits dialled in, right?

Proper…

..and not so much.

Still, we managed to get Dan on to the Jedi Fucker.

Here’s the Deaner stylin’ out Crazy Train. We’ll be getting the whole crew training off this soon.

Dan got another tick in the box here. I think he’s clean on this trail now.

Feels good, doesn’t it?

Matt is still 2 days behind, but he’s catching up.

Round 2, and we went a bit further out to Big Money.

It might be the only real hit on this line, but it’s so worth it.

We all had a go on this one. Mike cased it a bit, but that’s between him and his testicles.

Kev exiting 180′ of Pain.

Shimmer.

Gawking at the views.

Mike goes up…

..and Mike goes down. Although he did run back and got the only clean ride on it out of the crew.

I don’t often get shotson this berm. Here’s a local (hey Jonny!) leaning over on lower Powers.

Deano can jump, but he’s not much for these berm things.

Matt and I hada third lap. We had to make up for his late arrival and go and peel off a few more moves. Here he is on a stepup-berm-stepdown combo. Will the remedial learning work out for him? Tune in soon and see…

Chocolate Feet – Day 2

Posted on by Smoke

We stayed closer to home today. Now that the ChocolateFoot boys are warmed up, it’s time for Powers Creek.

Could you ask for better weather?

As is typical, we took far too long to ride Builders, but the crew were devastating the lines. As per usual, Deano was charging everything.

Mike has a bit of a think about things.

There’s Rob. And a BIG lake.

Postcard for mum.

Sure it took a long time, but when you live in London, how can you NOT sesssion moves like this one?

Crazy Train. The boys are going to have a full house on this by the end of the week.

I mean, they’re hitting the gap at the end, and it’s the biggest jump in the section. It’s just a matter of time.

Round two, and Deano’s sticking his bum out.

Can you make it, Mike?

Nope…

OK, Kev’s got it.

Found a lizard today. That’s two reptiles in two days. Now we need to find a crocodile and we’ll be complete.

Why DO they call this stunt “Cock Knocker?”

And a log ride and we’re out. See you tomorrow.

PS, Happy Anniversary to my Mom and Dad. 47 years? Oh man, I guess we’d better start planning the party.

Silver Lining

Yup, one of hte coldest and wettest springs on record. Not that it really bothers me. I’m a Shore guy. It’s still pretty dry here. At least it’s not dusty. For that matter, a bit of moisture is making for hero conditions right now.

Brant and Justin were out crackin’ some hot laps tonight, so I tagged along for a few. We took some time out of one run for a few pics.

Yes, that’s a lake in the background. My mission this year is to get some good shots with the lake in there.

Funny how I couldn’t get a shot of Brant tonight. It was the Justin show.

Sorta dark out too. We were out late. Nice to crack off six grand of vert in the evening.

I love summer.
