On a wet day, Dobes, Tom Kookamongo(sp?) and myself decided to go for a shred out at fabulous Burke Mountain in Coquitlam. We started er off riding some trails but it was pretty wet and sloppy so we decided to go check out a few of the local features. Dobes knew the way and lead us into the forest where we stumbled upon a step down which had been previously been sessioned by Robert Venables. This feature was pretty cool, about a 10ft drop and 10ft out I'd say but it had a nice landing which made hitting it nothing more than catching a can of corn off the top shelf at the grocery store. Dobie lined it up first then me and Tom followed suit with only one close call and Dobie hangin' it out big time!
Next up, we crashed into a nice step down hip. I have been pretty amped to hit a jump like this for a long time and was stoked to send it right away. This feature was a right hip with about a 10ft gap across a river with a bit of a drop. A few handfuls of dirt on the lip and she was ready for launch. Once again Dobie showed us how it was done with grace and me and Tom followed up by overshooting. I had a serious moment on the last jump of the day just took er too big and nearly ate dirt but the FOX 40's took it like a champ.
here is a quick vid from the day
