First Ripper of the Year

When I saw the snow outside at 6am on Saturday morning I thought for sure that the Ripper would be canceled, but those NSMBA people are a tough bunch! The Ripper was on and it turned out to be an amazing day for photos.

I was lucky enough to get a lift in James' truck (Obsession Bikes) for the start of the race.

Thank-you to awesome photographer Corey Toews for this photo!
There were some bunnies. . .


. . . and a hospital patient. . .

. . . even Joan of Arc made an appearance!Lots of riders braved the snowy conditions for the event and had an awesome time!Even my boss, Kelli (Endless Biking)!The organizers liked the snow too!
Thank-you to all of the volunteers, ripper participants and the other photographers, it was definitely a Ripper to remember!

Portraits from the Bike Park

Seann and I got out to enjoy the sun today with some friends out at the dirt jumps. It was so great to be outside in the sun and on our bikes! Unfortunately Seann had a bit of a spill and tried to smooth out a landing with is face.

David Garibaldi


Tonight I attended an art show by David Garibaldi at the Oh My Godard Gallery on Granville Street, what an amazing artist. David 'performs' but putting on an inspiring show of painting while rocking out to loud music and encouragement from the audience, his performances are called 'Rhythm and Hue'.

I was lucky to be able to attend the show with my brother, and thanks to him, I got to meet the artist. David's performance was unique and very exciting to see, if you get a chance to see David perform, go see it!

This isn't as good as the live show, but you can catch some clips of his performances here.
