So, we’re planning our yearly epic trip to the interior for this weekend. Lodging: nice big house on Kal Lake, complete w/ ski boat. Riding: the new freeride and DH trails or Vernon. Drinking: lots to be done. Last year, temperatures were 35 deg. plus! The hangovers were nasty, but the rides were gnarly, and lasted all day. Vernon also has its share of nice birds at the clubs, too. Can’t wait!
Latest exchange w/ the Greek:
Dude: “How's the arm? When do you get your cast off? If it comes off this week, we may want to tape you up if you ride in Vernon. I can do a pretty good tape job from my soccer experience.”
Greek: “Oi, it is still broke brother. Still have 4 weeks to go. Turned out to be a nasty fracture. LOL that is why it hurt so bloody much. Still coming to Vernon though! Look forward to it!”
After following up with him on the phone, he reveals he has cut a wedge out of the fibreglass hand around his palm, so he can grip the bar and use his fingers to brake. Also found out his wife has told him that if he has to make any more hospital visits over the next 6 months, that she will be selling his sled. His solution? “I’m getting Monster Ts (8” travel- and increase of the 6” he now has) so they can handle my size a bit better.”
What a character!
