Copeland Forest DH

Here are a couple pictures that Brother Fras wanted to see. They are from a ride earlier in the season with Alain and Mark when Alain brought his new camera to try out. If only he had been able to round up some better subject material.

This first shot is from part way down a fun downhill trail. There is a ladder bridge that goes out to a log with a roll down on the back side. If you hit it with a bit of pace it can be a drop which is about five feet down and maybe about ten or twelve feet out.



This next shot is from further on where the trail goes through a tightish right hander into a steeper section which is pretty fun. I am doing a funny looking lean into the turn but it is a cool shot where it is all frozen except for the front fork and wheel which look like they are working hard. Undoubtedly it is due to my fat ass rather than any excess pace I ought to be carrying.



Thanks to Fras for the new elbows which fit great and look cool too.

An interesting thing happened while we were hanging out at the ladder bridge trying to figure out where a picture might look good from. A group of riders came through flying down the trail and half way across the bridge one of them says, "Trevor - Trevor Charles..". It turns out it was Steve Mitges who had recognized me mid stunt somehow and Jany was right behind however so concentrating on the ride that she kept straight on. We met up again later and caught up a bit so it was fun to see them again. They looked as strong as ever and are an inspiration as athletes and all round dudes.
