This is the crew getting ready for my b'day ride up the flank and around westside trails.


The Boring commute to Rainbow to start up the Flank trail.













The climb that never gets easier and always pushes you through the red zone and out the other side!



















Only if you could have heard how hard I was puffing, you thought Puffing billy made noise, well I have news for him!






































Wolsky the ever composed Machine ready to unleash on a trail at any moment.



















Graham just stretching the legs for the god dam amazing descent.



















Ben was the sweep and had to jump off the bike when the low flying pigs started to dive bomb him.



















This little gem of a rock roll has more gnar than you think. It's 2 bike lengths long with a g-out at the bottom . As you roll down your front wheel goes over the crest then the bottom bracket just clears the roots. You then hit the middle ledge with your front wheel and bounce out, right at the point where you want to pull up to stop the g-out, your rear wheel hits the ledge pulling the front down and causing you to go nose heavy, that then leads you into some off camber roots fallowed buy a wheel swallowing dirt demon catching berm.



















Came out a bit wide here and saw all the boys run like the running of the bulls, held on to it and rode it out in style.



















Shane 'Buddy Guy' Gayton showing us how it's done!



















The Shoot!

The Real Jazza Wilson getting err done on the new and improved Banshee, dropper post a win win!



















Alex Getting down with plenty of style.



















Thought I might as well sing happy birthday to myself down the descent.



















Charlton 'off the back' Durie, getting down the only way he knows how, loose and wild! made for sweet pic.



















Nice mellow train tide to keep everyone in a bunch for some laughs.



















Bringing up the rear!



















Thanks to all the crew who made it out for my Birthday ride - it was one of the best ways to spend my B'day. Cheers to Frys who got some sweet pics of all of us.

Happy Riding to one and all cause I sure as hell am.
