MUSTACHES , DH BIKES, AND SNOW





Since my last post many things have happened.

Mr. Seb Kemp Gave me his sweet Black Market Hard Tail which I promptly used to launch myself directly onto my head dislocating a rib.
After recovering from the rib I was super anxious while awaiting my new DH bike. My buddy Cam lent me his Kawasaki 250F and we went up to Pemberton for a day of moto.
When I was a kid I used to ride a lot of moto but I was blown away with the types of trail that Cam took me on. Imagine the steepest gnarly DH trail on your bike than imagine pinning it up that hill on a moto going what felt like a million miles an hour. I was surprised how Wet roots on a moto are just as slippery as a dh bike, they laid me out more than a few times. Was rad, If I had more time on my hands I would love to get a moto again.

This Past weekend Rob an I headed over to the Island for three days of Mega serious dh riding. Not having a DH bike the last month I have been riding mainly XC. I even managed to drag Robbie boy out for a few xc rides. Anyways off to the Island with my new Evil Revolt DH bike.

Unfortunately mother nature wasnt cool with us shredding amazing trail all weekend and decided to just dump everywhere on our merry lil dh vacation. Prevost was covered in snow and it made for some pretty wild riding.

So we got snowed out which kinda sucked but we still made the best of the weekend. Hung out with drew-bar and spent our evenings lounging about the local ymca swimming pool. Unfortunately I had already shaved off my mustache. I would have looked pretty rad with my speedo and mustache. Oh well always good to have something left to strive for.
