The sun is setting, the cabin fire is burning, the tea is hot, and the view is gorgeous. I’m on Galiano Island for a few days filming a podcast with my buddy Alex Lavigne, and the first day was great!
Our friends Greggor and Jenny showed us a fairly secret spot on the Island called Rock World, it’s basically like a mini Stonehenge or a standing stone zone much like you’d find in the UK. So it turned out to be a very unique area for some trials lines. Most of the rocks were too tall and they were spaced such that you couldn’t jump from one to another; but the individual rocks I did make it on were a great challenge.
I have to be honest though; I haven’t ridden my trials bike for about a month, whew! My arms and shoulders are already sore. My back is even sore because I had a couple high bails and a couple large’ish drops. It’s funny how my trials mind is sharp and has the vision, but my body was saying take it easy boy!
We have another day or two of riding, then back to the mainland. I’m hoping to hit a few rock and log lines at the beach tomorrow. Galiano has the most amazing sculpted sandstone shapes at the beach, but the tide schedule isn’t so favorable for us, so we’ll do our best. Nice to be back on the trials bike, and good timing too as I have a couple school shows coming up.
