Shawnigan Powerlines

So... Burnz and I headed out to do some impromptu wheeling and had a amazing time!

These are just the shots that I got, but my friend was with us and was taking a bunch of shots, so more to come later!

definitley a fun trip. i have a whole new respect for the 60 series after this. we were in some sketchy spots and it got around no problem. i couldn't have thought of a better way to break in a new set of tires. wait till u guys see Sweatyforeheads custom trail side body work.

Looks fun, I definatly drove past both of you at differnt times that day, on my way down from that area.

Looks like nice country. Glad you guys got out. Looking forward to more pics so I can do more web wheeling.

Gonna shave my 42 front bumper ends off, just hitting rock all the time...

Looks like a bit of fun..

Back out to the beatiful hilltops of Web Wheeling!

Got the shots from my great friend, Geoff Howe. Whom, I might add, is a amazing photographer and you really should check out his stuff http://instagram.com/geoffhowe



Anywhoo, It all started with heading out to the quarry

I totally didn't almost roll over on the top of this gnarly skree slope

Stuck on a stump

Souvenirs!

Pretty sweet quarry filled with massive chunks of quartz

Locked gates make cruisers cry..

After walking around, we managed to find a way out, Regrettably around the same gate with that fxxxing sticky stump

Thanks for the pics; looks like a good time. How did your new tires perform Jordan?

I'm pretty sure I've met Geoff Howe before; he's a good friend of my brother-in-law Darcy Beck. Did Geoff work at UVic as a photographer for a little while? It's a small world..haha. I agree his photography is excellent.

you know you had a good wheelin trip when you're still pullin sandy boogers out of ur nose three days later....

 

[yotawheeler]

hey guys could you pm me where a bouts you went in? I have been up some power lines around here but I'm not 100% sure that i know where you guys went and thats pretty much in my backyard! sad i know…i just don't do enough wheeling anymore

 

[burnz]

You'll just have to come with us next time we go in Yotawheeler. its hard to find. the entrance is not far from the quarry ( maybe half a km from the pit)

Hey Burnz, take it easy on my old 42, she's not a dirty girl.

I'm up for next trip, I'll bring the 80 or I really have a hankering to bring the ratbag 40.

 

[burnz]

She was definitely dirty after this trip and she was screaming for more!!! Lets see that big block 40 do it's thing on the next one fer sure!!

 

[burnz]

This was today's venture!! I think I had more fun on this thing than my boys did!

 

[YardPig]

Is that a pavement princess?

 

[burnz]

that monster truck?, no it has a trail around the outside of the saratoga speedway, no jumps though it only has 500hp

 

[YardPig]

I know. Still my idea of a 'trailer bitch'. If that was deep in the Southern States, those seats would be licensed by Budweiser and we'd be pulling wheelies without a waiver.

Did you get that out of Cedar in a barn slash shed? I looked at two rigs many moons ago and one was olive, appeared to be factory although I never heard of that colour being sold into Canada

 

[burnz]

no this one came from a garage in victoria, the guy was done with it and his wife said its time to go, ( i like her)

 

[YardPig]

I wouldn't say he was 'done with it'....he has a long time love and lots of memories in it, but when you have to pay someone to wrench on it, it wears a partner relationship thin. His fiancé is much happier in the 80 series I slid him into. Great guy with the same Cruiser bug we all caught, just proudly agreed to priorities first. 40, 60, 80, 100, they all find a home here.

BTW - Shawnigan gates are wide open again!
