Pedal Bushing Extraction Video

I have shown it in a video before but I guess that was all in my head!

I have been asked by a few to complete a video showing bushing extractions so here it is in one take!

Tools needed are... Screw Extractor Set
Easy out is another term!


Freeride Park is open next week!!!

BEFORE...

AND AFTER!!!



We are 80 percent complete in all phases!!




Andrew Mitchell and Kyle Michell have been slaving away in this park for the past two weeks making the final push on the park! Mark Mathews was their master raker until he broke his hand!!

Go and enjoy this park on June 16th, it encompasses every skill and fitness level and has been 100 percent built on peoples passion to introduce to you what biking really is and how it can benefit your life. Sounds cheesy but it is true, get in there and enjoy it and a huge thanks to all the volunteers and all of the donations to the Friends of North Saanich Freeride Society!




So June 16th we expect to be 100 percent open in all the new phases only leaving the Pro line and the much anticipated dual slalom course to be built which requires material and funding for completion!

Remember riding this park before the opening date JUNE 16TH is illegal and will result in further delays in the parks opening. Please respect this and wait until it is ready, we have worked very hard to acheive this and it would be a shame to have it closed due to a few people who decide to jump the fence.

Other than that get ready for a fun summer!

DIRT Magazine Straitline caps!

Dirt Magazine has requested some custom caps to hand out to the loyal subscribers so if you want a pair get out and subscribe now.... or soon, unsure of when this promotion kicks in but these caps are pretty sick!

I will never get sick of making Laser videos, and yes sticking a thumb under it hurts!


And I didn't know how to tie this into any relevant post so I'll just throw these in!

After playing around on a friends new Mac I am sold! It does what? who cares, how do you set it on stretch mode?

There's the flavor!

Expert Phase Complete!!


This park is going to be sick and as promised 100 percent free for all to enjoy! Half done with only the dual slalom course and pro lines to be designed and connected to the pump tracks hidden in the trees!





Another Teaser on the Park!


This is just the expert/ intermediate and learning area the sloped bank is soon to be a dual slalom course that will be the most used feature in the park by far!
Shout outs to follow, just enjoy the sneak peeks.
