Monkey See

Posted: March 8, 2012 by Andrew McCarthy

I met a fellow Boondocker at a mining conference in Vancouver last month. We were attending a social that a mutual friend hosted at his beautiful condo in Coal Harbour. A bit of a set up actually since our host (David Greenway) has been a ‘Boondockers’ sponsor since 2008 (SNS:TSX.V, GFN:TSX.V, AOX:TSX.V) and knew one […]

Trix are for Kids

Posted: February 13, 2012 by Andrew McCarthy

Sometimes I get frustrated by the fact that I can’t wheelie a dirt bike. It usually happens when we’re about to embark on a ride and a crowd has gathered to watch us leave or when I’m the first to arrive at our destination and a group of onlookers call on me to perform this […]

Marathon Dan

Posted: November 14, 2011 by Andrew McCarthy

Throughout the years in which we’ve been filming the Boondockers series of backcountry snowmobile videos I’ve come to witness many spectacular events, stunts and activities. We were there to experience the original Boondocker, Brian Seaward’s riding clinic when he side-hilled his way up the pole line above Grand Lake back in 1996. We sat jaw […]

Scratch and Dent

Posted: November 21, 2010 by Andrew McCarthy

We recently engaged a computer / dissemination expert who suggested that we switch our weekly updates on the www.strawberryhill.net site from written stories to a video format. In order to fulfill this mandate we opened a ‘Youtube’ and a ‘Twitter’ account using the alias’ ‘Ericbowater’ and ‘Urbanbayman’. Thus far we have submitted fairly low key […]

First Ride of the Season

Posted: December 20, 2009 by Dan Gardiner

We finally made it out for the first ride of the season. We still need a little more base, but conditions are improving quickly and more storms are in the forecast. Rick Barker and Phatty made quick work of the untouched powder. Phatty is on a new 2010 Arctic Cat M8 HCR. Rick is still […]

Oh Canada…

Posted: May 21, 2009 by Dan Gardiner

The winter of 2009 went out with a bang for the Boondockers team. We headed up to British Columbia to ride with Dan Davidoff and the Krazy Canadians last weekend and there couldn’t have been a better way to end the season. It was probably one of our last trips of the year, and everyone […]

Old School

Posted: May 8, 2009 by Dan Gardiner

This afternoon I rode with Shane Kynaston. We got in a good dose of spring riding, with plenty of big climbs, technical pulls, and even a few big drops and jumps. While many riders have already hung it up by this time of year, we usually ride until the end. For me, late spring conditions […]

April Fools

Posted: April 2, 2009 by Dan Gardiner

The only fools around here yesterday were the ones that didn’t go riding. We found 2-3ft. of new snow at the upper elevations in Utah. You know its a good day when you don’t leave until 3pm and still come back to the truck with an empty tank! Unfortunately I will be sitting out the […]

Stitch and Bitch

Posted: March 10, 2009 by Andrew McCarthy

With all the technological advancements we enjoy in this day and age you’d think people would have a lot less to complain about. Somehow this is not the case and no matter what the situation it seems that folks tend to look for the very worst – often forgetting how amazing the experience itself might […]
