North Vancouver BC - Part 3
- By Margus Riga
The first thing I did when I moved to BC, was visit Seylynn skate park. The second thing I did was go get some band-aids.
Apart from the mecca that is the three mountains known as "The Shore", North Vancouver is also home to four solid skateparks, and a couple of sick dirt jump zones.

Part three inside,
Seylynn skate park...a great place to get hammered and ride bikes. Or maybe it'd be better to do it the other way around.
Jay Hoots, checking for broken glass in the landing zone.
Dylan Korba, just getting warmed up.
You can take the mountain out of the bike, but you can't take the BMX out of Dylan Korba.
Backflip to flat asphalt, like five times. All he needs to do is lose the helmet, and he's back in
the BMX biz.

Korba and Hoots. Wishing this bowl was a ball.
Thanks for taking me to the other side Dylan and Jay. Think I'll stick to the trails...they're softer.
On any given day, there will be rain, sun, cloud, wind, snow, rain and more rain. Yawn, so predictable.
Much of the new bridgework is eco-driven.
...and built to last. Matt Juhasz of North Shore Bike Shop testing the goods.
Cypress Mountain is slowly being eaten up by hungry yuppies. Mmmmm, trees and trails taste better with money.
Tasty.
Tastier.
Alan Crisp, lighting it up on Cypress.
On any given weekend the scene at the base of Cypress is big bikes, big trucks, and big balls.
Soon, if Cypress ever loses all that snow they had this winter, it will open up Vancouver's first and only mountain bike park. Whistler's so stoked on this.
Wade Simmons, gobbling up a little something on Digger's menu.
Mmmm, maybe a little tight on the landing, but she's still tasty.
PJ Hunton, warping wheels and minds, as Norco's new design engineer.
Ross Measures through the eye of the needle.
Ryan Berrecloth and Ross Measures...just another Sunday ripping around, loving life, and getting paid for it.

6...yup. Frame rate check all good. That's almost seven frames a second.
Faster damn it.
Sorry, missed it. Can you do it again?
That's better. Let's have it one more time though.
Great. Now let's get another shot over here.
Just hike up another two hundred feet.
Sweet. That's the spot.
Nice. That's a rap. See you guys at the bottom.
