  9. What? Was the whole event nothing but trials? I didn't even see any
    street or MUni type stuff in there, let alone _freestyle_ riding.

    There was all of this going on. During the UMX (muni) my mom was video
    taping and only got a few shots. (You can tell if i took a picture or if
    my mom did by if me or my brother are in the picture) There was some
    amazing freestyle being done during the demos (Stuff as advanced as
    stand up coasting). Many people would work on free style skills when the
    trials course was closed. (I got backwards 1 ft down alright and managed
    to stand up wheel walk 15 ft) Dan was doing some cool freestyle/street
    stuff i had never seen befor and Jack was also doing a lot of cool
    freestyle stuff.

    As for street, there were some group street rides, but there weren’t
    many good locations.

    But yes, TOque is mainly a trials event.

    Just because there aren’t pictures of something doesn’t mean it didn’t
    happen.

  17. Yeah Kayc,
    Sweet pics, there are a few good ones of me in there, haha. Just by
    trying to upload mine I understand how much work it is. Do you do them
    one by one? If not how? How many medals did you end up with? Three?
    Four?

    It was the time of my life, seriously. I will definitely be there in
    years to come. I won the intermediate trials which I was stoked about. I
    got a medal, and a hat and a tire in the draw which someone else can
    explain. I was the first in my class to do the box line and as far as I
    know, (you had to jump into a box then out the other side), and the only
    one to do the end to end car line I think. You pedal grabbed from a
    small ramp onto the back of the trunk but the trunk was so slick it was
    impossible to get a grip, everyone just kept sliding off, haha. If
    anyone was wondering why I was hammering the car with my uni it was to
    try and rough up the surface a little for grip, it didn't really work
    though. I was amazed I got 65 cm in high jump, 2.5 cm short of my record
    onto an object. It was my first time jumping a bar. I missed my first
    two attempts at 70 on the first day of high jump and had to do my last
    the next day which I missed horribly because I wasn't warmed up or in
    the zone anymore. Long jump I got 150 cm in the comp but 155 afterwards,
    I've never measured that kind of thing before so I don't know if that
    was good for me or not. I was blown away in the UMX. First real time on
    a 24, which I borrowed from a very nice guy (name?) that had the seat to
    high for me. It was my first time in real snow too, and I kept trying to
    put my weight on the pedals which was totally wrong, and I kept spinning
    out. Didn't hear the results for that but I was last in the first round
    heat. I got 360 uni-spins down, now working on 540's, 180'd a five set,
    did nine backwards, and almost cleared a seven before almost taking out
    an old man.

    Some of the craziest things I saw would have been Zack's about 30",
    pedal to pedal grab from the side of a spool to the four foot platform,
    Ryan's near BC wheel plate grab to the trunk of the car, about 3 feet. I
    never saw him land it but I saw him come close, plus it was right before
    I was leaving so he could have made it after. He made the height with
    ease. And finally in the best trick comp, Ryan's 6 foot drop to the
    metal pole skinny, shattering the spool it was supported by. That was
    nuts.

    A couple of us went for a short ride outside the venue on a couple sets,
    which was pretty sweet and then everyone came out and it was ok but not
    as great. Next year we should plan for a street ride like out on the
    town.

    I met a lot of really cool people too. Brian, Mike, Justin, Owen,
    Anthony (best accent I have ever heard), Kevin, Jess, Kaycee, Guillaume
    (pronounced Giome), Ben, Phil, Angela, Carl, Sara, plus a host of
    others.

    Brock I got some vid of the higher part of the high jump, one of the
    demo's (but it was a bad one, sloppy compared to the others), and almost
    the entire Ryan Leech demo for my brother.

    The highest in the high jump was Ryan with 92 cm, I believe, and Evan
    there was like 10 different events/categories so it isn't a given who
    won.

    The batteries died in my camera so I only got like ten up and they are
    mostly from the plane. But I got like a hundred to go.

    Angela and Kaycee, can i put some of your photo's of me in my gallery? I
    will credit you and put links to your respective galleries.

    It was sweet,
    David

  19. Great summary of some of the highlights David. You did awesome in the
    trials event! How many lines did you clear, I got 6.
    "can i put some of your photo's of me in my gallery? I will credit you
    and put links to your respective galleries." Sure!

    "how can you NOT be jealous? " Note the ...'s and the pic of me looking
    at it funny.

    Rember, if you see a picture of you or someone you know, just put the
    name in the comment, this will help prevent me miss spellings and I can
    just copy and paste😄

    Next year, is gonna be awesome.
