The Sunshine Coast – BC Style

Filed under: Out of Town Adventures — victorgin @ 12:38 am

First weekend and ROAD TRIP in Andrew’s newly acquired Ford Escort Wagon!

Overcast typical Vancouver Sunday morning, Andrew, Didier, Chris and myself piled into Andrews wagon, 3 bikes slung off the back and headed over to Horseshoe Bay which is around the corner from West Vancouver – onto the Ferry and across to the Start of the Sunshine Coast for some biking….. and some fishing for Didier.

Roberts Creek – a few kms down the road from the ferry terminal.

Gravel Road towards the TRAILS.. apparently some of KRANKED 6 was filmed here… Ben Boyko’s session in the woods i think?

What better way to start but on a stunt trail!

Andrew on a skinny….. reasonably high this one, and a curved for good measure.

lining it up…. tricky…

Drop on Right, steep roll into a sharp corner on the left.. good times.

OK – getting big now on ‘Janets Jungle’ – this was a bit too big for me!!!….

Scale?

Onto this awesome track called Cunning Stunts… Longest off the dirt/skinny/stunt trail i’ve ever seen… must be 100 m long or more, on logs/seesaws, rises, drops.. all good!

This was a highlight – called a discombobulator!! three teeter tottors joined together at their ends….. damn hard eh… we gave it a good go…

This saw edge was difficult, and slightly uphill.. it puts you off…

View from the sunshine coast later in the arvo – lining up for the 30 minute ferry crossing… quite busy at the terminal! but nice view.

After a early morning, and a nice day riding, this sign on the ferry was rather amusing…. North Americans are funny people!!…
