Goat style 3 day update

Hi everyone! right now I am sitting on Stirling and Aces bed on Aces computer waiting for 3 o'clock to do our qualifying runs.

Day 1- We left Vernon with Brad Mills at around 7 a.m on route to Creston, a few stops later and we arrived around 1 in the p.m. We checked into our hotel and headed over to the course which is looking really good, so we got on our bikes and started shredding, and after about 1 or 2 full runs it started pouurrring. I picked up a shovel once it started getting way to wet to ride and began digging trenches and patching up some lips and landings, the dirt here is sooo sick when wet. the sun came up around 7 p.m and Dustin Greenall came out on the loader and scraped all the mud away and the pro catagory got to ride that night.

Day 2- After a super good sleep in our three bed hotel room, we arose to sunny skies and a siick day of practise shreds. Bryan Sherrard is killing it so hard in his class and the rest of us were sort of scrambling to get the course figured out for qualifying the next day. Alooot of scary crashes as well as some slightly humorour ones. After everyone had a rad practise day they opened the course again at 9p.m for the people invited to the night jam, didn't get in..dang. However, Noah Brousseau threw down a super gnar transfer and got invited in in which he almost stuck a 7 but went down harddd..got up though so we were stooked. Kurt was also in the night jam and tried some fronts, got super close on the first but got pretty gnarly on the second and pitched early, but got out of it well enough..Overall a super gnarly night with some of the gnarliest stuff getting thrown down with Brad Ewan screaming the most epic shit into the mic. The highlight of the night would have been Scott Alleyn's insaaanely gnarly flip super to can.. Also, Chubey, Danny Brody, and Dustin all stuck gnarly frontflips on the last jump. Casey got gnarly as well with flipwhip and threewhips, as well as a tuck to whip. Crazy night to watch for sure.

Mid day 3- We got up at 9 to go watch Brian Mueller from kelowna kill it in his catagory for qualifying, and than Bryan killed it in his Catagory as well. Thats about it for today, hopefully everyone does well in our senior intermediate qualifying and shreds it tomorrow. More updates to come, buh bye!
