Hey guys,

I had an article about the competition go up today on rawrdenim and I wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped out. I wanted to feature even more people but was tight on time. There was more fun stuff written (particularly convo w/ Gavin) but got cut out by my editor. Anyways, I've been enjoying this competition from afar, and I can't wait to see what the final results are. Cheers

You had to cut all that stuff I said about what comes next? Good, lets keep that under wraps for now 

[Megatron1505]

BTW, it's here if you want to read it....

Little one seems to be enjoying himself..

Fantastic pics LB, looks like you guys had a blast.

Pinnacles are awesome. I did a week long trip up the west coast in 2004 and it was one of the coolest trips I've done. I think my favorite stop was Coral Bay.  A large, beautiful coral reef starts 50m off the beach. I was a little nervous getting in the water though, as a man had been scuba diving in that location a week before I was there and was eaten by a 20ft tiger shark.

oh well, it isn't WA if there isn't sharks by the coast. every once in a while you'll get news reported on sharks incidents. just have a little faith y'know. hahaha.

Max, the fit on those Sammies has really improved a lot during the competition. The fit is amazing.

I often stop at Lundbreck falls on my way home from the Crowsnest Pass for work.  It is a nice place to decompress.  Got the idea to take some pictures with the timer on the camera.  I am not a skilled photographer so I apologize.

Time for another photobomb! The weather is awsome today so I put on my headphones and took my bike out for a spin in the countryside for a few hours.
