Well its been quite a long spring for me considering I missed a lot of it with my broken collar bone, but since Ive healed up its busy busy around here. The trails around town here in Kamloops have been amazing! I hardly touched my jump bike as soon as all my favorite local trails were good to go. I shot a web video on my all time favorite trail, “Rose Hill.” It’s been shut down for over a year now, but alot of people still sneak up there when they can, to ride it. “Heres what we ended up with;” riding Rose brought back alot of good memories from back when I first MTB’d. The good ol days.

This year I’m shooting a full segment for NWD 10, really excited to get started next week. I really hope my segment shows how much fun I have on and off my bike. I got a few lines that im working on right now out in the hills that hopefully alot of people will get stoked on. Theres going to be alot of cheese wedge nugs and classic kamloops lines, full of booters and fast trail. I want to bring the dirt jump skills that ive learned into the big mountain lines that im digging and riding now. Lots of multiple hit lines linked with trail, bringing my own personal flair. I got alot of other cool ideas that Id like to do as well, but well see how everything goes. Hopefully everything looks and turns out like how Ive been imagining it to be. Heres some photos of what Ive been working on…

I recently just did an Interview for Italy’s mountain bike magazine, which included a cover shot, 2 double pagers and a half page with the interview. As well as another interview for Boys Life magazine, that one was definitely funny to do over the phone. Theres also a shot in the new Bike mag that I got, pretty stoked on the shot, I even had to write 250 words about it. I wrote a bunch of stuff up and had the help of my friend Dylan to edit it up. Definitely does not sound like me, but oh well.

So I just got back from Jordies Fresh Air event down in Victoria at his mom’s house. Easilly the funnest weekend ever! Always good to be shredding hard with all the bro’s day and night. Everyone killed it hard, and I was stoked. First off lets talk about Danny Brodie for a second. Killing it hard lately, hes on a mission to steal Gullys job, ahahaha. Landing front flips, and getting rad at Jordies event! One thing you may not know about Danny is that he talks in his sleep. I had to sleep in the same room as him down there, and it was soo funny. I remember waking up to this kid just babbling off about the most random stuff, even about stocks! soo funny. Eric Lawrenuk destroyed it over at Jordies, landing a “hybrid 3 downside whip/decade” Gnarly! As well it was in mid set, Eric killed it! Of course Brandon won but we all knew that was going to happen before we even got there. Check out some funny videos and a vid of the contest over at www.blackboxlabs.net. T sage did a good job filming and editing those up.
