Well, me and my buddy went up fromme today, by the 2nd switch back we were literally drenched, we were cold and wanted to go home. But I insisted that it would be a rad time once we got up to Air Supply and such trails. On the way we stoped at diggers rock, I pussied out yet again, told myself another day IE a sunny day. Near the bottom we were told by a man in a truck it was pouring rain the hole way up even at upper oil can. So that just bummed us some more. But whatever, we still had a rad time. Time air supply comes our fingers are drenched and shoes are water logged. We headed down to the drop and I hit that up three times with some neat footage of it. Then headed down farther to the step down, hit that and went onto pink star fish. There was a puddle the size of elephant right after the tranny of the step down that got me kinda wet. Not that I could notice or anything cuz my pants were already drenched. Pink star fish was pretty fun, not to slippery but it was just absolutly pouring!!! It had to be 3 times worse than what it was in the city. Tons of fun! Groovula was the same, great fun. I had a blast. And if your wondering why I'm not in school, its because I get 2 weeks off for spring break and I'm not gona let rain ruin it! Heres a picture of one of the small creeks.

Maybe the traiils, but defiently not the trannys, i didn't go into the ground at all off the air supply drop or step down...they were both packed rock hard, it was rad. I dont think i reked/eroded any trails. its all good. i had fun! :) u should come tomorrow trev! with curtis.

we all were soaked within 3 mins of the ride lol
The fireroad we had to hike up wasn't completly a river but it had a river going down it most of the time in sections. all the tiny creeks were massive (see above picture) and with in 30 minutes of the ride we were compeltly soaked.

i was gunna go on a downtown urban ride but because of illness and rain the group ride was cancelled. meh always next week. when i went to the shore for the weekend in november it ourred both days. seymour was windy and freezing cold and wet at the top of cbc parking lot when we were gettting dropped off. i got soaked. i was wearing jeans and shin pads and the dirt on my jeans wore the paint on the edges of some of my frame down to metal. meh i did the drop on boogie man, the one thats supposed to be a ladder drop but it was broken it was funn even tho it was raining and i could have slipped. i bitched out at the pile driver drop cus my brakes broke on my ride.

it is cool, but it is really really boring, because all the people I ride with go to north van / deep cove schools and there all in school! so i have one guy i can ride with and thats all.
