Drove up to visit my buddy @darcywardo and we went to check out Sun Peaks Bike Park. First time riding this park for the both of us. Unfortunately the park didn’t inform anyone that a lot of the trails were still closed due to very wet conditions and even the trails that were open had some serious mud problems. I think they might have opened the bike park a bit prematurely. At one point my front tire literally got sucked into a mud hole and it threw me over the handlebars. I landed on my hands which sunk wrist deep into the mud and I managed to stop my face from getting a mud mask just as the visor on my helmet sunk into the mud 😅.
I really suck at flow trail jumps, gap jumps or anything that has that zero gravity moment ( I long so badly to be good at them though ), after trying a few tech trails and them being literally just suspension destroyers, we stuck to the flow trails. As a result by the 5th run I was starting to really get my confidence up and clearing some of those tables. I hope I’ll get to look back at this video in a year or two and be super proud as to how far I have come. Still had a good time and got to do what I love. Gonna have to head out to SilverStar real soon and work on getting rid of my dead sailor move once and for all.

After our failed attempt at Jumbo Pass due to a mud/snow slide, we still wanted to squeeze out the most out of our day. Big shoutout to my wonderful wife @laura.j66 who not only just got deeply disappointed by her hike not working out but then promptly shuttled me up to a nearby FSR which in addition to she had to reverse out of for almost a km 👏.
Sadly the FSR was locked with a yellow gate and I had to pedal all the way up the horrendous 6km with grades of 30% most of the way. Not sure I would do it again. The trail was an awesome old school rock and root gnar. Super technical & high consequences if you mess up. It was worth the climb to tick this one off my list but I think Newtsac has definitely more value for your buck, not to mention shuttleable.

Yesterday we landed in Christina Lake for the second leg of our little getaway and after setting up and taking the girls to the beach they surprised me with some Sunset Father’s Day Shuttles. The Stewart Creek Trails was gonna be my first stop, because I really wanted to hit “There’s Willis”. We had perfect weather all day with not a dark cloud in sight and then during the 15min drive to the trailhead, an angry rain cloud materialized out of nowhere from behind the mountain. It rained for literally 15min and solely over the specific trails I wanted to ride and then it was gone. I had my fingers crossed that the features somehow would be spared but unfortunately this trail went from mind blowing skinnies, teeter totters, wooden berms and jumps to a death trap. That wasn’t going to hold me back from trying all of them. At first it went well but then the trail gods had enough and shit on my parade with a nice body slam on the last massive roller coaster feature. Today I’m a bit bruised up on my left hip and chest but nothing that’ll stop me from having fun. Hopefully the features will dry out in time for my comeback.

I forgot about this gold nugget, my buddy @awger texted me not to forget to check this one off while I’m there. Imonator. This was also Pinkbike’s “GoPro of the World” Winning Run 2019 by @ddangerousddave . Unfortunately I got a call from my wife on my second attempt and had to race home to drive her to the urgent care because she broke her little toe 🙈.

I was deciding between heading back down to Penticton to find that slab on 3 Blind Mice or doing the Little White slabs. But the prospect of having to ride in 37°C degrees wasn’t very appealing. That’s when wifey chimed in and suggested I should ride Revelstoke because it’s only 30°C degrees there. I was all ears when she proposed that she had some mushroom leads and wanted to follow up on them. Well how could I say no to that, so in the name of mushrooms we packed up and drove down to Revelstoke 😁. For “mushroom picking” of course.
UFC & Ultimate Frisbee are the perfect combo to start or finish any Boulder Mountain excursion! UFC is a fast and flowy trail with a couple of punchy kickers, perfect warm up or cool down. I took Eddie with me in this first leg of the trip just to run him out and make sure he’s tired, after this he got to continue with the girls mushroom picking.
