Good Canadian Kid

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Red Bull Rampage - the premier Freeride Mountain Bike event in the world.

Squamish's Brendan Seminuck is now a FIVE TIME Champion, closest is Nelson's Kurt Sorge with three.

Highlights of yesterday's event. Fucking amazing what these guys are doing in the Utah desert mountains.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Summer McIntosh is killing it at the World Champs in Budapest.

New world record in 200m Butterfly knocking 0.3 second off the previous record and then an astounding 3 second faster than the previous record in the 400m medley. Hold also in 400m freestyle.

Yeah, we talked about her during the Olympics here as well.

Could end up winning medals in the teens and setting an "untouchable" world Record or two

A reach but she could challenge Ledecky with a some luck.

I think she had 3 4ths in Olympic relays so very close to 5 or 6 at 18.

Ledecky has 14.
DeLevering since 1999.

Shanda Hill 🇨🇦 just became the first and only woman to complete the South Africa Deca Ultra Triathlon.

Hill will return to Vernon early next week to rest and heal her injured abductor muscle. She has 41 days before her next race, the Brazil Ultra Tri in Rio de Janeiro, which begins May 1.
She was 2nd overall - https://my.raceresult.com/323794/results
