Nimby 50

If you have never heard of the Nimby 50 and you were wanting to take part in it, you would probably enter it thinking that you were about to take part in a xc marathon race in a sweet little town 30ks past whistler in the Sea to Sky corridor. Well if you did this then you would be in for one hell of a surprise come race day. Labled as one of the harder races in the sea to sky corridor to take part in you will still walk away with a huge smile once you complete it.

I was marshaling for the entire day just to be part of a race I so desperately wanted ride but my injury tells me other wise. It was 25 deg and with a late start of 11:15am it was going to be a long hot race for everyone. Enough Talking and on with more photos

Josh Carlson from Giant world racing and Andreas Hestler were out to show there support for the race.

Seb in the land of the moon! I can officially say that I know how it fells for him and I have been there before! Heal up fast Bloke!

Team Nomads, Chris, Dylan and Arthur

The start line with some super sweet mountains to look at!

Now this pics say a thousand words the reason being. Dylan was coming in hot and the guy who was tucked in just behind him was not moving off his line at all when clearly Dylan was the faster descender. Operation drift the shit out of the corner fallowed and will a move that had us talking for the rest of the race he pulled it of in fin form! Mad props for getting err done Wolsky.

Mr 'Fun Hog" him self say no more!

Arthur composed and fast

Shane gayton taking on for the flat pedal team!

In the middle of the race there was a timed decent. A race with in a race. It was only timed on the down and to get the fastest time down you needed to have a clean run and be far enough up the leader board to have any chance in winning it.
