Some Kootenay Fat Tire Festival Pics

Some pics taken during yesterday's Triple Header DH [HTML_REMOVED] Speed Trials. There may or may not be some NSMB.com members on there.

Unfortunately the Speed Trials event was cancelled following some nasty falls during the practise session - healing vibes to those who fell, particularly the young lad taken away by ambulance. Hopefully it 'looked' worse, than it actually was.

I've also some video footage to wade through this week, from the entire 3-day event. I'll hopefully have a summary video posted soon.

There should also be a write-up sometime this week on the Nelson Cycling Club website.

looks like an amazing day!

that mercedes truck looks SICK.

…that mercedes truck looks SICK.

Yeah, Merick (sp?) seems to like his Army issue vehicles. "Better for hauling bikes" I overheard him say, yesterday. :)

this is about two seconds before he was unconscious on the tranny. 5th or 6th person to take it to the face in 15 minutes. pretty sure he kicked some ass a lil bit before in the downhill too.

Yeah, looks so fun. I went last year and loved it. You guys have awesome riding. Wicked pictures.

its scary when you see 4 quality riders get absolutely raped on the same thing you're riding.

P.S. First aid attendant said she expected Trent to be O.K.

Sorry - I've had another look through and I don't have any pics of you. I handed my camera over to a buddy of mine, during the Speed Trials, as I had my hands full with my lil' girl.

I do have some video-footage of you riding the Criterium and the XC though :)

(Dudski - nice purple Criterium ride BTW!)

nice pic's looks like a good time

sweet blewett. no picts of ronnie or charles though…

Bit of an update:- I've uploaded the Fat Tire '06 video I put together for the NCC, on my www.rootsrocksflow.com website.

Be on the look out for Dudski (Criterium) and Skimtb1 (XC [HTML_REMOVED] Criterium)

Enjoy.
