Sorry guys, but Mrs. Dude just so happened to walk in while this vid finished-up, and her only two words were, "Super Gay". She then walked out.

I'm going to have to recind my nomination.

The giggles and feeling you get after a ride like that is all the 'reward' that I think anyone needs.

I would like to nominate ken for his work up gillard.Why ken?Because he builds trail for everybody and not just the elite.He also continued to keep building after being put down and slandered by other builders in the area.He doesnt do it for glory or to get his name mentioned in a video he does it so locals of all types and skills have something to ride.There are probably alot other trailbuilders out there that wont get mentioned or nominated because they build for the pleasure of creating something and are not looking for a pat on the back.Plus hats off to all the helpers out there who have picked up a shovel or hammer and lent a helping hand. Us builders know that our creations would not be what they are today without your help.

Sick carpentry skills working the wood into the rock:

……….I hate rock bitching…….

I prefer to call it substrate harvesting.

It makes it sound slightly more rewarding.

There are alot of builders past and present in the okanagan area all of them just as deserving as the next as far as passion and love for the game of creating lines. I think there is only one person that has dedicated themselves over the most number of years consistantly and that is hands down Ryan McKenna.
And to all builders out there, wether you build for yourself or other people, glory or personal satisfaction, you're all equally deserving of credit. Because in the end what you complete is enjoyed by everyone. No matter what your motivation may be it's still motivation.

Universe by far would have to get top props for his tireless efforts on Forbidden Plateau in the Comox Valley…
