Remarkable

Another self-filmed edit. This time from New Zealand. Their riding scene is clearly checked-in. I loved the crappy car/truck drift at the beginning. The trail looks like amazing fun, with the exception of the baby head section(at least for me). That section looked intentionally installed, either for added gnar or as drainage for the wet season. What do you think?

Chris Akrigg: “A little while ago i thought it would be a good idea to put a freewheel on my fixie. I’d miss placed the brakes so i had to run it without, this wasn’t a good idea as i ended up wrapped round a tree. Anyway, i did manage to get a bit of footage before injury and then bad weather stopped play. It is what it is, whatever that is! A bit of fun on a 700c…”

We had a great turn out for the ride/dig day in the woods this past Sunday.

Things accomplished: A3 landing 'Happy Ending' got wider again, as did A2's landing.

Then lots of test riding ensued. Here's a few photos and a video

Fun trails

Some trails just look like so much fun to ride, others not so much.
Here's a fluidride finals videoHere's Gee with the 'not so much'

Trail proposal

We had a meeting recently with our contact at the City of Surrey, Jay Meneely and Nadia Chan. We are working with Jay on a plan for the proposed bike park at Invergarry Park. We are still waiting for the environmental assessment to wrap up. Jay tells us as soon as the assessment is done, we will be able to hold an open house in the early New year to put the idea of the park up for a public hearing, if there isn't opposition to the idea, the odds a very high that we will get a bike park at Invergarry. While we await the results of the environmental assessment, we have proposed a downhill pump trail similar to Half-Nelson, seen here

Here's some blurry cell phone pics from today:

Rain has finally arrived at the coast. In fact there's a rainfall warning posted for the area. We've taken advantage of the weather and put in some work in the woods.
Here are some photos:

The 604 trails and pump track were flattened in mid-summer. I'm sure a new pump track will pop up somewhere soon, until then here's some videos.

Summertime Schralping

So I decided to make a little video. Nothing too fancy, no black diamond extreme jump hot-dogging, just a little mountain biking not on the mountains.

Summer rain

We received 10-15mm of rain over the past couple of days. Just enough to pack our new landings, and start construction on the wider lips needed to make the lines dialed. Here's photos from yesterday at the woods:

Happy ending after packing:
