Poco Bike Skills Park (Mar. 7, 2009)

Friday night a light snow dusting came into town. Saturday awoke windy and sunny and the snow quickly melted away. And with that Cory, Jordank and myself were off to the Poco Bike Skills Park in Port Coquitlam. The park was designed and built by Jay Hoots, of Norco Bicycles and Hoots gear. The plan was to play around on the table top jumps, drops, ladder bridges, log rides, wall rides and other cool stuff, hone our skills and take some pictures.

Jordan practicing one of the ladder drops to a nice dirt transition landing. There were three drops that got succesfully higher.

Cory hitting the first of four table-tops in a row at speed. There were three sets of table-tops to jump. Each set was significantly larger than the next.

Me getting skinny with it. This was a really long log ride section that linked several logs together end to end. There were a couple other really good log rides to practice on that were interrupted by large boulders that you had to negotiate over to get on to the next log.

Cory "the cinematographer" had his sweet home built steady-cam setup to capture Jordan and I on some stunts. Cory also brought along his digital SLR for some sweet still shots.

After a couple wall ride attempts and a couple jumps on the big table tops we decided to pack it in for the day and just in time too. As soon as we left the park driveway onto Shaughnessy street the snow started coming down hard.
