Upper Freight Train Video

Finished the first proper effort at a video this year,

Trail: Upper Freight Train
Whistler Bike Park, BC

Whistler Day 3

Had another day in the Park no filming or pictures to speak of, we just rode...

... but it didn't stop the angry vein from showing its self?

Avaston BMX

Finally done a double at the track where I broke my shoulder!

Critters

All of us rode the bike park today and it was a first from some of us Ali wins the prize for the most swearing to the terrain.

There was plenty of wildlife around today also, first thing we saw was a bear just down the trial from us and try as i might i could get my camera out fast enough before it went into the woods, it look our way as Doug said "BEAR!" it was obviously thinkin "Oh there's Doug" but was embarrassed to come over with all of us stood round...

Ali done some serious swearing down Smooth Smoothie.These fellas didn't move a fast as the bear, think it was because they were playing golf thoThe view from the car on the way home, before the traffic got really bad.

Sun Peak's Bike Park

Got out riding on the bike park was good, we did quite a lot of the runs. Missed out some of it as a few kids had interrupted some bears and they had reared up at them. So we gave the bottom section of Steam Shovel a miss, but sections of that run were my favorite, stream gap jumps and table tops, felt like i was going larger than normal, at least my forks were holding up!!The View Up towards Biker Cross course.

Mission to Sun Peaks

Set off with Nicky, Paul and Sophie the dog for Sun Peak's was a five hour drive but think about it, its only like going to Scotland at home. Sun Peaks has more potential tho.Find a different type of burger along the way Triple-O's had the Cheddar Bacon Burger not bad at all 8/10! Like the "leave the pickle on the outside" for those freaks that don't like, weirdo's...Got to see the Blues Brothers in the gas station to think they were there to save the world or something or maybe just Hope?
Got to the place about 17:00hrs and was well impressed with the place we had got thanks to Nicky and Paul for sorting it. Was soon in the hot tub looking like a fat balding Ozzy, I seemed to have miss placed that photo tho

"Think were gonna need a bigger bike..."

Doug and I spent the day in whistler was sweet up until I trashed my Fox 36 forks!! The rebound damping had gone AGAIN when I stopped to inspect the damage i realise that t have lost my upper jockey wheel too. So I ended up rolling to the bottom and as luck would have it there was a Fox Racing Team service tent down the hill under the lift. I Bounced my way down there only to find out they wouldn't help as the were doing some kind of testing. Fortunately I manged to Hire Kona Stinky Carbanzo, Hooray!

We spend the later part of the day avoiding the top part of the mountain as that was ruff as hell hence the damaged forks, and stuck mainly to A Line and Dirt Merchant it was quality and i really enjoyed the hire bike even tho i bottomed it out a few times anyway we videoed some stuff and I made this video...

Whilst we were in the lift queue Doug was talking to Matt Hunter he was asking him about his TCD (Tony's Chain Device), Pro Rider interest at last for Tony...

Also Saw a Bear with 2 Cubs on the trail from the lift, and ten minutes early Doug and Myself had been stood in the same spot, could have been really interesting...

And finally a T-Shirt to celebrate the event
