The annual Bung Bung event held in McBride allows people to show off their vintage sleds and hit the hill for a start of season ride, without risking damage to their new, more expensive rides. Once again, Brett Turcotte (above with black skis) and Brandon Cormier (above, orange skis) performed high-flying aerial stunts on their snowmobiles. The machines are fitted with small wheels allowing for them to use the bare street to get speed before hitting the ramp and soaring high. The lack of snow spraying resulted in the sleds reaching high temperatures, so the pair took a few short breaks and one longer intermission during the show to prevent overheating. /ANDREA ARNOLDMax was thrilled to show off this 1985
Phazer. He said it performed well earlier in
the day when he rode it up Lucille during
their firewood delivery in preparation for
Saturday’s Bung Bung event. /ANDREA
ARNOLDShane Bussemaker from Stoney Plain
bought this 1973 Raider 34TT by Bob
Bracey. After he bought it, he found that
the pistons were upside down, so he had
a little work to do to get it running, but
now it purrs. /ANDREA ARNOLDCurtis Kaufman purchased this modified fully loaded 2008 Ford Edge
to use for work instead of a side by side. Instead of driving a small,
uncomfortable side by side, he enjoys the luxury of heated leather seats and
satellite radio throughout his work day. /ANDREA ARNOLD
