Another two weeks passed and Alex Fostvedt was available to come back and film the jumps so the next step was to find someone else to come ride them with me. That turned out to be quite difficult because everyone was super busy so it seemed that this was a solo mission. So me Alex and Nick Campbell (photographer) headed out from Parksville up to Mount Arrowsmith.

We were quite frightened when we came around the corner to find the gate was closed with a rope wrapped around it. A logger was un-tying it and he said the back-country ban was still in effect. I had done some reasearch before and was told it was lifted for two days on Vancouver Island so I asked him what was up. He just said whatever and walked off so we proceeded with caution up to the jumps. The light was firing so we watered down the jumps and I started to warm up. On my 3rd run I overshot the 2nd jump straight to flat and got a stem to the face. I just ate crap. As I was lying on the ground I thought to myself, "what a way to start a shoot." We shot some of my easier tricks just to bang off some footage then moved on to 360s and tailwhips. I crashed twice on the 360s and I died a couple of times on the tailwhip and after all was said and done all I had was a really bad charlie horse and a split lip, and that was that as good day of filming came to a close.
