    North Shore CBC Ripper

    Time for the third Ripper of the season. This time around it's a time trial down the infamous CBC on Mt. Seymour. There will be time bonuses taken off your time for certain stunts ridden.

    I've got my hands on a special bike just for this event. I am pretty stoked for the special DH drive train set up and soem wicked awsome brakes. The cockpit needs to be tweaked with a riser bar.

    Team EXTREME pulling out all the stops for the win on this one.

    I'll try to take as many pictures as I can of the man in action, but I'll be racing as well... Hopefully, the guy with the video cam will capture the best moments...

    The best part is that I might actually have a outside chance of beating him down this time or maybe not, who I am kidding? he'll still probably beat my time on that contraption he is a freak after all...

    But I do have a secret weapon: a special type of armor that will make me invincible

    Tomorrow should be equal parts fun and challenging.

    I really hope I don't destroy this amazing little Special Ed Rockhopper.


    Team EXTREME is making a comeback to the racing sence just for this CBC Ripper.


    I've got my dancing slippers.


    This is serious business, the racing cockpit is dialed.


    Focus and determination will help me tackle the mighty CBC trail on rugged Mt. Seymour on the infamous North Shore of Vancouver BC.

    ahhh yeah my girl rocks.


    Nothing like a smoke and some Fireball to ensure the baby is a little sedated before rocking down the mountain at race pace.


    Strap an extra beer to the old leg armour incase a thirst hits while racing.

    no beer for me during the race since the stupid can burst when I mishandled the last roll-down on CBC

    (unfortunately, no footage of Shirk or myself as it seems the video guy wasn't patient and didn't wait for all the freaks in the back on the pack)

    Looking at that last pic of shirk, a clown suit on that small bike would have been pretty funny too. And a little horn.
