Dam, that is some crazy dirt pile carving!
Crash and burn would take on a whole new meaning if he were to take a header.
I wonder if he tuned his board specifically for that dirt hill

That is the Barnhartvale gravel pit in 1993. Not allowed in there anymore though. I heard he was back in Kamloops again.

Yah, I think he still comes up to the Peaks and rips it in his old alpine gear. I will have to ask Coach next time I am in Oronge about it.

Thanks Ray. I have been away from home for the lsat 3 weeks and plan to stay here for a bit. I would have only been able to bring my boots and bindings as I sold my carving board.
Spending my time with this one for the next few months.

Tippie's the man. Cool shot.

Sweet shot, thanks for posting.
It's a dangerous picture though because it makes gravel riding look both easy and fun. Every other time I've seen gravel boarding I've thought "Holy $***, those guys are insane!". This picture makes me think "Hey, I'd like to try that!"

we have a few bings from the local coal mines. they have compacted road access to the top, and pretty steep gradients on the free side.
fortunately i don't (yet) have a board i'd be willing to trash.

This was my only board at the time and I just waxed it and rode it the next winter. Repeated that for about 3 years.
