Kakwa 2012-2013

[cbc24]

Some guy tried to follow our marks and ended up getting stuck, helped the fella and his friends get the machine out, they drained the fuel tank and he ended up riding her out! Was a ok trip got a good first mtn ride in on the assault, did a couple pulls and it seemed to be pulling good.. My friend had the turbo assault and it made me jelous, when you leave a mark and he blows past on the back of the tunnel lol

Sad to hear, hopefully they release more information. Kakawa trail can be dangerous in a few spots ride slow and stay on the right hand side.

It was deep this weekend. Heard a few big slides !! Be careful out there.

 

[cbc24]

You bet it was! Heres some snaps me an my buddy got today!

BTW it took 4 stucks and a hr to get that sled outa that spot, but we found a stump with 5ft of snow on it and i tried boosting it with this result :

we played around by the river a bit then went to babbette lake and to the old drop, ended up landing hard and smashing my head off the bars and yet again after the second bounce. So i was outa it an my lip was bleeding but it was fun, so we went behind the famous roll off drops and played around behind and heres a few:

and he ended up skipping off the side and landing in the crevice:

It was a very awesome day besides two of our company had machine failures within 5min and had to sit the day out then we lost the other 2.
