Lions Bay - Story

STORY
On February 11, 1983. One massive landslide ripped through a small community about half way between Squamish and Vancouver. Like the morning after a night of scopolamine, the people of Lions Bay were confused, surprised and ultimately angry at the event(s) that had taken place. Something had to be done. So the city of Vancouver pulled a few sheets, hired a few peeps and the project that sparked what would become the climactic crest of "Still Twitchin" (the squamish section) was underway.

The result? Well, after many intense hours of blue printing, lawyer fights, heavy mustache maintenance, and countless burnt Benjamins; lay a cement drainage which funnels excess rain water etc. 1000m from the highest houses of the community down a huge embankment, under the Sea to Sky highway and right into the Pacific friggin' Ocean.

Joe, Tim, and Laze decided one day to follow in the footsteps of "the celebrity in the whitewater world" as Mail Tribune put it.

Labeled Photos by Steve Rogers. Video coming soon.
