Spring Break 2012

Only two words do justice in describing this past weekend - Spring Break. Or shit show. Every road trip evolves into its own beast and this beast was definitely spring break. Our destination? Daytona Beach, Fort Lauderdale? Nope Ottawa for Top of the Worlds Top Dollar contest and then back to Mt. St. Louis for the Quicksilver Downlow on Sunday. It might have been the temps, bluebird skies or potential last weekend of the season that gave this trip the spring break feel, but it was probably the crew. Beav, Brad Gauley, Connor Dudgeon and I, left Friday to meet Zach Moorcroft, Bradley Hesson, Kirby Kostuk and their driver in Ottawa. If this were an MTV highlight reel you'd definitely see clips of Bradley Hesson, Kirby Kostuk and Zach Moorcroft livin the dream. All awesome all the time. Anyhow, Saturday at Mont Cascade was all time with our friends from Top of the World and Vans. Cam Hill and Mike Hull had set up a super fun mini park for the Top Dollar contest. The comp format was call your trick, get $ and redeem them for prizing. Eric took this to the next level by allowing riders to double or nothing if they didn't land the trick first try. With sunburns and high fives we hopped back in the car to make it back in time for the Down Low on Sunday.
Honestly, not much to say about Downlow other than the park staff at Mount St. Louis crushed it again this year especially with the challenging winter. If you need more words Andrew Sayer had some comments and Connor has a still gallery here
