PHD, Pemberton, BC. Aug 2003.
This has been a favorite ride this year. A trail built by a Whistler local who choose some very flowing lines connecting some pretty thexy rock faces.
After the climb up the fireroad.
That freeriders tend to walk...
The fun begins!
As any PHD Student knows, such tasks require some studying
Sometimes in groups.
or in lonely contemplation
before you take the plunge!
Piled
High
and
Deep
Enjoy the pain!
Each student picks a path- conservative
and not.
The least valuable thing needed for a PHD is your head.
for some people.
We move on to the Comprehensive Rock Face Exams.
Before the straight shot into hell
Then comes the grind
Then finally the Defense! If you make it you pass.
After which you can drink beer in peace.
