2010 Year End Photos

I took a bunch of my favorite photos from this year and I found some pictures that Nicole took that I didnt post! There is a sweet helmet cam video at the end which Andy put together. Enjoy!

I didn't post those photos that Nicole took from the Hurtin' Albertan race! Obviously, I am in the yellow ranger suit and Andy is the other photo. Thanks Nicole!! Here is a link to her Flickr

Favorite Picture! Another Nicole pic as well.

Hang out after riding

2010 Race Results

2010-10-11T15:38:00.000-07:00

It's 2010/Oct/11 and I am back at work. So I figured a good use of time would be to summarize and throw out some props on the 2010 race season! I don't claim to be much of a racer but it's so much fun! I am just going to pick a few local Lethbridge people that go out, race and have fun! All of these results are based off age category and not overall. I know Tanner would of been out there a lot more but little bit of a fork difficulty. I don't think I forgot any races but let me know if I did and I'll update it. The FTNR stands for Fernie Thursday Night Race. I have a few more ideas left to post about this year. Props to everyone and cannot wait till next year!!

Red Bull Dusk Till Dawn

2010-09-11T16:33:00.000-07:00

Andy and I went to Calgary and competed in the Red Bull Dusk Till Dawn. It was a 7 hour downhill endurance race. After 7 hours, the winner was whom ever had the most laps done on the Downhill Course. The race happened from 10pm till 5am.

Andy killed it in those 7 hours. Andrew placed 8/59 in the Solo category and 12 /100 overall. 48 laps for a total of 80.16 km!

I got 22/59 in the Solo Category and 39/100 overall. 43 laps for a total of 71.81 km! I lost my light after 4 hours and rode the remaining 3 with no light. Don't think it would of made much of a difference with it. Just slower in the dark technical areas.

I was physically exhausted after this race! We went the whole 7 hours with no breaks.

It was so much fun!!

Didn't take any pics of the event because...well the bag was full of Powerade and Vector bars...and it was a race. If you want to check out some pics here is a post to PinkBike about the event.

Whistler Trip!

2010-09-11T14:58:00.000-07:00

I have been wanting to go to Whistler for the longest time. Finally had the chance and met up with Scott!

I went to Whistler quite a while ago. Didn't take any pictures of biking but I got a chest cam of Scotty riding Crank It Up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XasUYFCKCfw

Scott is just killing it on this trail. Every jump with style and speed! Sorry about the camera angle and strap. The strap goes away after a few seconds.

We also went bungee jumping!! 160ft!

Fernie Trip with Andy

2010-08-10T10:43:00.000-07:00

Finally took a pic of the poster hanging up by the FAR sign just before the hill on HWY 3.

Video of Andy and I trying out the HD cam. We placed the chest mount on the riders back. Made for a decent camera angle but I made the rookie mistake of not charging the camera battery.

Long Time No Blog!

2010-07-30T10:24:00.000-07:00

I gave Logan L a bad time about not updating his blog. I realized I hadn't updated mine in over a month! The race pictures were taken by Matt W.

I found this ad in this month of Fernie Fix. I think I am riding Lower TNT. Thanks to Nicole M for taking the pic!

Fernie Update

2010-06-11T09:40:00.000-07:00

Sadly I won't be working in Fernie this year. I just have a great job up in Ft. McMurray and it just wasn't the year for Fernie. There is always the chance of going back next year! Good news, I found out that FAR was going to use a pic of me biking! Just want to say huge thanks to Nicole for taking the picture and thanks to whomever decided to use it for the brochure. I haven't added pics of my new bike yet because I want to change out two more things. Pictures should be up soon!

140 Days

2010-03-31T15:35:00.000-07:00

It's been 140 days since my last bike ride. It has been even longer since I updated this blog. I didn't forget about it! It's almost been one year since I started this. I know 2010 will be just as good as 2009. I have a lot of ideas this summer, just have to wing it and see how it goes.

More Pics of Me!?!

Just wanted to say thanks to Nicole. Again, these pictures look awesome!!

Bagged Myself A Couger! Mittens!

2009-08-09T19:27:00.000-07:00

I get a call about this possible dead couger cub on the Canada Cup. So I go biking down the trail very carefully. I am in the middle of the Canada Cup trail when I come across this dead yearling. Used a bear banger to scare off any animales. The body had no shot marks, no scratches and no obvious signs of death. I dragged it way off the trail by using a triangle bandage. I had to take a few pictures because this is a pretty rare event. This one worked out the best. It was tough trying to take a picture of the couger. I do get this question alot...Yes! I was scared! Who wouldn't be?! This went down a long time ago. It's all done now and the CO was informed. No big deal now. Enjoy!

Me Riding?!?

2009-08-08T20:56:00.000-07:00

I know its shocking but there are pictures of me riding. Nicole was nice enough to snap a few pics of me on Bin Logdin and Top Gun. The pictures look amazing! Thanks Nicole.

Golden!

2009-07-31T16:32:00.000-07:00

I didn't listen to J5's "What's Golden" song when I got to Golden, BC. Next time I will. I rode with Amanda and my Uncle at Kicking Horse Resort. Camera was being crappy, so only a few quick pictures. Maybe I will post the other ones on FB. I like this picture because they have such a nice view of the mountains.

Andy In Fernie!

2009-07-19T18:10:00.000-07:00

Are plan was to ride Deadfall. We got to a certain crossroad and just kept biking. Great downhill but awful hike back. Took this picture of Andrew riding a mini mac berm on Deadfall. Camera was low battery and we just wanted to ride which is only why there is one. Enjoy!!

Foggy Morning

Shuttle Day!

2009-06-26T16:39:00.000-07:00

The day before the hill opens a few people get to be shuttled up the mountain. So I got to ride a few trails before heading back to LB. Only got a few pictures. Had to take a picture of Connor and his riding style. So mint!!

Found A Baby Deer!

2009-06-26T16:34:00.000-07:00

We were doing some work by Ben's Big Rig(new trail on the hill). Using a mini-hoe and other machines. There was one small patch of grass left on the slope. My boss notice that there was something in it. Went over and baby deer! Still very young. Don't worry! Mom came back and found it an hour later. We moved somewhere else so mom could come back. The baby deer is safe now.

Random Fernie Picture

2009-06-26T16:29:00.000-07:00

We were stuck on a ski run so I snapped a few pictures. Only one I really like is this one. We were by the entrance to Hornet and Playground.

Long Time No Post/ Carson in Fernie

2009-06-24T13:21:00.000-07:00

My bad that I haven't posted in while. I have a few stories but the pictures on my phone. I also think I might of lost my camera which sucks because there are a few decent pictures. That is my excuse for why I haven't posted.
Anyway, Carson was in Fernie. Took some riding pictures. A few classic Carson skate park pictures. Rode some single track and project 9. Project 9 is such a sick trail!! Hopefully having more pictures soon.

May Long Bike Trip

2009-05-18T00:12:00.000-07:00

After a fun Saturday night in Lethbridge, we met in Fernie at the skate park. Skateboarding and biking for abit. Most of the guys were sidelined because we don't ride park. Then we rode Eco-terrorism. It was a rad single track but didn't get any pictures. After much discussion we rode 3 kings. Justin promised us it was good to go but the upper part still had quite abit of snow. Still a fun trail and again no pictures from there. Reason why I didn't bring the camera was because I didn't want to risk it. Good thing too! Took a few spills but that is the name of the game. We watched Carson and Scott ride West Fernie DJs. Posted a few of my favorite pictures the rest are on my facebook. Sorry about the delay and enjoy!!

Good News!

2009-05-11T15:27:00.000-07:00

I just found out today that I will be working in Fernie this summer! I know I haven't updated the blog in a while but its been busy. Big test coming up in June so I've been studying quite abit. Lots of pictures and stories to come soon.

Good Friday!

2009-04-10T15:03:00.000-07:00

After coming home at 4am and waking up to the blender a few hours later. I figured I should do something productive so naturally I went biking! Called a few people and only person I could find was Tanner and Jeff! We went and rode the trail I mentioned in the last post. This time I had a charged battery. After taking a few pictures of each stunt, we left and rode University trail. It has just been awesome biking weather! Hope you enjoy!

New Trail. Low Battery

2009-04-07T17:37:00.000-07:00

I was counting the hours till 3pm when Carson and Eric were done school. Eric took Carson and I to a trail we haven't had the chance to ride yet. It was really fun trail! A new bike trail and +15 weather really makes a good day.

Unfortunately, I didn't charge the camera battery. Rookie mistake, I know. I plan to go back again soon and take a few more pictures. First time riding with Eric, impressed with him. Carson got to take his "downhill" bike too. Need to get back and take some more pictures.

First Day. First Post.

2009-04-05T17:21:00.000-07:00

It was an amazing day in Lethbridge. 11+ and no wind! A rare Lethbridge day. Still very early in the season and a few people were boarding today. So James and I threw the bikes in the truck(note the ghetto tail gate guard of cardboard and a hoodie). Just rode university trail a few times. Still very muddy in the coulees.

Intro/ Why I am wasting your time

2009-04-05T16:37:00.000-07:00

Well this is my first blog and I'll tell you a little about it. What gave me the inspiration for this blog was a friend's mom. I was trying to explain to her my summer at Fernie but I couldn't recall all of my experiences and had no photos to share. So I got this idea to start a blog about my biking adventures in 2009. So Jordan Parascak Biking Adventures was born!
My goal for this blog is to share my experiences of biking. This blog will either be MTB trips or working again for F.A.R. Still to early to tell which one is going to happen. This is not just going to be a blog about me but about my friends as well. I am excited to share with you my summer adventures and will try and keep this pretty updated. Hope you enjoy!!
