Squamish Skate park to Britannia Beach

Living in Whistler British Columbia is a great place for an active life style with all of the beautiful terrain. We have everything from various lakes joined by pleasant trails that you can walk or bike between. Living in Whistler’s creekside I’m practicably next door to Alfa lake, and I can hop on the valley trail for a 10 minute bike ride to Alta Lake before I even reach Whistler Village. Not to mention Lost lake in the Village for some relaxing beach action or Green lake if your into wake boarding.

Besides the fact that we have a good selection of lakes, we also have lots of terrain for all sorts of cycling. Everything from casual train riding to the intense down hill trails on Whistler Mountain to the BMX riding at the skate park and the snake run or various dirt jumps all over Whistler.

Living in a place like this is a dream come true, but some times you just need a change of scenery. So today Devon, Ryan, JP, Dave, Bruno and I decided to drive south to ride some different terrain than we do every day. So as usual our first stop was at the nice concrete Squamish skate park because Devon and JP haven’t ridden there before.

JP’s ridden the skate park before on his skate board, but it was his first time bringing the BMX to the park. He was having a blast riding the bowl on two wheels.

Now Devon’s more of a street style rider with the banks and rails they have back home in Ontario. So he was pretty stoked to find some of this at the Squamish skate park, and it didn’t take him long to put together some nice lines.

As the session’s started Dave was doing the usual valley gap while throwing down a decent super man, but the best part is Bruno was jumping threw the back ground like a running  deer.

Not long after Dave and Bruno’s shenanigan’s Devon had his eye’s set on a pretty decent line. He found the biggest down ledge in the park and decided he wanted to Feeble grind down it to 180 out. Props to Devon cause in my books any trick with a 180 out is pretty sick.

After we finished up with the Squamish Skate Park we kept heading south down to Britannia Beach to check out another set of ghetto ramp’s they have set up down there.

The ramp’s aren’t exactly a legitimate skate park because you basically have to scale a fence to get to it, but the amazing views make up for the shitty ramps. We rode this park for a little while and I got a few nice snap’s of Devon doing some tire grabs and a nice air on the small 4ft ramp.

Britannia Beach has some amazing views and a non-traditional shore line to it. I can’t wait till I can make another trip back.
