Woah...couldn't help but notice that you are now 87?? Geez...sorry for missing your birthday

I was really impressed haha, when they were first building it. It wasn't completed yet and it looked like it was going to be a huge gap, like the ones on Harper mountain. I was excited to say the least. Then I learned that the Banshee rep. Scott Currie was to bring a platform for the top to make it into a roller. It is maybe 3' x 3'. I am going to Panorama on the Labour day long weekend. Wow thats sounds like a real fun trip, I am infinitely jealous, who are you going with?? I already can't wait for the snowboarding season and well next bike season when all my road trip bud's are healthy and ready to rip again.

Rabbit was ok as always, nothing to exciting. Yeah, that run with the little drop at the end is done. Its over all not that bad, pretty technical and not to much flow. I think they have another run opening up pretty soon, heck it might be open. I was concentrating on the pump track pretty heavily that day. I wish that it was longer, like Panorama's 4x track.

Wow I hear ya, sometimes visiting family can be that bad. Some of my family came up from the East coast not to long ago, that was pretty painful. Are you planing on any trips to B.C. before the end of the season?

I'm just relaxing and killin a few brews with some buddies. I'm heading to Rabbit hill with a bud that just got his cast off this week. How about you??

I lived in Victoria for awhile. So beautiful.... Wow you have been a super ripper this season. This season has been good for me so far, I got to rip the infamous Williams lake for the first time. The trails up there are pretty knarly I tell you. Aflo was my favorite, It was kinda like Rio, but sooo much more steeper.
A couple of my good riding / road trip buddies broke a leg each so I am pretty limited as I don't know allot of Edmonton riders. I find allot of the riders think they are better than everyone, they are not to easy going at all. Unlike B.C. you can find anyone to ride with, no problem. If fuel wasn't so expensive, it would be easier for some solo trips. I work for a natural gas service company. How about you? By the way, whats your name?? I'm Andrew.

Well there isn't much to ride in Edmonton, the Mill Creek drops are there, but they're nothing special (the ones in the river valley). There is a short root spattered single track that starts up by 149st( XC trail if anything). It is by that wooden bridge that you can traverse the gully on, sorta by my least favorite bike store Revolution cycles. I know of some dirt jumps hidden in the bushes along Sask. drive. It is hard to explain how to get there, but if you follow the bike path west until you get to a windy switchback path, there will be a chain link fence you have to go around. They are good for jumping, but need allot of TLC. It has kind of a free ride line to, but it was made really badly. It is a 6-8 foot drop with a step up after it. The bad part is the landing for the step up is almost non-existent, you have to pull out your sniper scope, and scrub allot of speed after the drop to hit that. Rabbit hill is o.k. for practice, I prefer Red Deer they have a pretty stellar park. Other tan that Maybe C.O.P. better yet, why not Fernie, or Invermere. Thats all I got, thanks for reading my essay, haha. I am moving to back to B.C. hopefully next year, I am thinking Revelstoke, the Resort there is supposed to one day rival Whistler. I'm so excited....
