    Let's break this winter funk! Break out some summertime pics.

    Something with green grass and leaves on the trees so hot you can see the haze in the air...

    Everybody remember how HOT it was at PD 13 last August?

    The cans? No, those are Labatts or Molson Ex empties. It IS Canada, fer cryin' out loud.

    I rode right through a big wind farm near Ubly last summer on my way back down the center of the thumb; kinda caught me off guard.

    Are you in the midst of something similar?

    i always wanted to try some "cool tricks" but my brain is not programmed to do that kind of stuff. my airborne coolness stops at whips, and they arent really a big deal.

    i was in 2nd place once behind a kid who did some freestyle trick over every big jump on the last lap. he was so busy being cool he landed the last jump before the finish and forgot to pin it for the last 100'. how cool do you feel when you are waving your fist in the air like you won and get passed right before the finish? :twisted:

    if you backflip your sled, ill try it on my quad, deal? :lol:
