Below is a little vid of "Styles" and "Throttle" riding Hydro Rock in Conroy's Thunderdome!

Sorry for the late post on this ride, been a bit busy with life lately. Here's some shots from the Conroy creek ride half way between Squamish and Whistler.
In attendance: Goldy, Andew Deboer, Kelly Walters(tired after a 48hr fast), Clayton, Tim and I. Super fun ride, rode pretty much the main lines showing the boys from Whistler around. On the way back to the parking lot Tim and I rode the new Double Exposure(until otherwise named) trail built by Throttle and a couple buddys here and there. Sick trail goes pretty much straight up these bluffs that over look the parking lot. Deadly for a quick fix for some up and lots of rock, some loose switch back to a glorious view of the Tantulas Range Glaciers when you reach the Ridge at the top.
thanks for ride,
now back to life..

The second round of the Spanish Trial could not finish in a better way for the GAS GAS Team.Adam Raga has been able to rise at the highest of the podium after the race disputed behind the sea in Baiona. Raga has finalized the test with 7 points, followed by Albert Cabestany (Sherco) with 11 points and Toni Bou (Montesa) with 12 points. Raga has committed two small mistakes in zone 15 in the second lap, but this not prevented him to prevail in front his rivals.
