Just got back from the shore. It was my first time back in 2 summers! man i miss that area. Whistler has taken favor recently, but i'd almost say i had more fun riding CBC combos.... Dont get me wrong the magic W is all owning, but the shore is almost more magical. We saw the builders making new wavy stunts and a 10-12 year old ripper taking his dad for his first trip down a shore trail. So COOL. Overall we had a good day with only a few MAJOR mechs near the bottom. Chainwhip bent a rotor (45 degree bend), and also a friend had a blown shock... well, more like exploded, and lastly couple pinch flats. Huckwagon took us up and it was a rocking.

Now its time to rest so i can be beaten in a different way.... Skookums way..... 19.9 miles..... what was i thinking????

Sounds fun. Good luck on your country crossing.

Why not just make it an even 20?

Why not build a freeride bike and have the best of both worlds?

Glad you had fun at the Shore, I've never been, but I've been close.

I'll be ready for the Shore the middle of Oct :mumble: I'm hoping the snow and rain holds off until then!

Thanks D for popping Kevin's Shore cherry :dancing:

Whistler has no soul. Shore rules it.

I took my 44 lb Fly on a XC ride a few days ago. 3500 verticle in 6 miles is a lot.

Cool, I'm going up to do Seymour via the Huckwagon for the first time sometime in October. If any of you who are planning to go up around then want to ride share with a very intermediate rider let me know: I've got a Sportworks with room for one more bike since my wife isn't interested in the Shore.

I thought of you. We missed our guide.

We just need to make a trip to the island for some new trails.....

Hey Trace, let me know when your exact plans are. I've never ridden the Shore and would like to go up at some point.

Kevin ruled it! He was even ripping the skinnies. Was so much fun.,

I now have a new favorite tail bike downhill. The trail down from hamilton buttes was the most perfect moto singletrack ive ever ridden (yozoo was cool too). the trail had perfect railing berms, moto whoops you could pump and get mass acceleration out of, sweet rough spots, and bumps to float over. Its 4 miles of pure fun. Only one small climb in the middle. Definatly would go back to that trail, and the views were amazing.

D wasn't the only one...

Really though, Kev absolutely killed it - once though, he hit a squared rocked pretty good - thought he'd pinch his rear...



Maybe next Sat?

 

[oly]

Dads B-day next sat. But we go play in a pool with the kid.

I'd really like to get back again... Maybe do the grind up fromme? Or just huckwagon and next time go down booogie.......
