Stephanie Nychka sends her three kids off to school and then spends a day on the trails, at the dirt jumps, and the BMX park.

The Big White Slopestyle has brought plenty of great action this weekend with the world's best throwing down some insane tricks.

I never seem to get sick of the drive from Vancouver to Whistler along the winding stretch of Highway 99, or better known as the “Sea to Die” Highway. On this rare, sunny, Sunday morning I was on my way to Whistler to meet for the first time Stephanie Nychka and Darcy Turenne. Our plan, shoot promo photos for the Slope Sistair Freeride Invitational taking place at Hemlock Valley Resort, September 1st – 3rd 2005. I wasn’t too sure what to expect, as I hadn’t worked with these two before. And since the female scene doesn’t seem to get the exposure it deserves, it’s hard to do any prior investigation.

Coming down off the badlands of Drumheller on a mountain bike, a single rider travels off the unsettling terrain of the hoodoos. For a moment to those watching, the rider appears to hang in the air before smoothly executing a landing. But to the one on the bike, that exhilarating moment lasts just a few seconds longer.
