Oregon Surf shop in Alvardo Desert

Solar power is all you need!  This climate in the red sand is idea for the Outside brand. H2O is life and a shower after road bike riding was unreal. Endless cold Norcold fridge from sun even when its cloudy. Batts run the dream, 3 stage in/out fan , tunes, DVD, impossible to list. Yakima rack the bikes outside, watch the stars inside. KTM 6 Am sunrise tough to pin it on the dusty thin sand, cruising Mars. Wow.

AdArtica Expedit

We learned we all needed radios. This is a big mountain. An eight hour Zealot hike or doubling up on the sled.  





Skinning above tree line, a beautiful view, wet slides, cameras... but no communication. Moments after this shot I stuck a huge backflip off the cornice and stuck it on uphill ice. Long live Shane McConkey!


The Cats ran great. The best part was getting back to the van in one piece to a cold PBR.  Breathable Dainese protection and the ventilated Bell helmets were key at 74 degrees.

Coors & Corn

dirt in the morning and corn snow in the afternoon
Finally, after a whole winter getting the clutching and weight dialed on the sleds it's time for Coors and Corn.


Always learning new ways around the engine, 
we had clutches and timing switched out on the mountain.
 Thanks to the BZ King CC.

Adams Spring Corn Bash part 2

We never found the spring bikini Coors Light pool side bash, but did manage to lace the "westside" top to bottom with surf like off the lips and use a sled in totally new ways. Minus some minor engine overheating the day was perfect. Notice in the pic's the T-shirt and shorts, this is a time of year that the sun feels so sacred that the appreciation runs through the body and soul right to the throttle  . . .   BBBbbbbbrrrrrraaaaappppppppp 





Oh ya, if you are looking into a trailer (see pic) consider the    sidewall of it making sure the aluminum has no hang ups and is bomber so that when you slam it into the guard rail of the bridge it slides.
