Hear all about how Thane and his unnamed accomplice—who remains a fugitive 20 years later—managed to stay one step ahead of “the law” to get the job done.

Boogaloo

Thane Phillips, Jesse Devost, Sylvain Turcotte, Chris McNeil and other builders prepare for a trail night on Boogaloo circa 2008.

Before there were American “patriots” with aloha shirts and AR-15s, there were three BOOGALOO-obsessed Yukoners who were also armed to the teeth—but only with handsaws.

This is the story of how Mark Koepke, Jesse Devost and Thane Phillips became the leaders of a BOOGALOO movement that wasn’t scary at all. Except, maybe, for the long-gone overpass on an old cabin.

Apparently, that one’s up for debate.

Starbuck’s Revenge

Builder Anthony DeLorenzo on Starbuck's Revenge in 2023... and doing his Sideshow Bob impression in the Fireswamp about 10 years earlier.

Once upon a time, Whitehorse riders dreamed of better access to the Goat Trail on Mount Mac.

“As you wish…” replied the fearless trio of Anthony DeLorenzo, Alex “Michael Bolton” Sokolon, and Paul Burbidge.

The fairy tale ending is a rough ‘n tumble alpine “bush trail” that offers spectacular views from Fish Lake to the Marge of Lake Laberge.

The three builders (with various alter-egos) and one “Ross River Special” tell the story of how they overcame bugs, bears and bogs to bring you STARBUCK’S REVENGE.

Guest starring (in order of appearance): Sylvain Turcotte, Sideshow Bob, Commander Adama, Fred Flintstone, Prince Humperdink, the Dread Pirate Roberts, Buttercup, Homer Simpson, Marge Simpson, Wilma Flintstone, and Lieutenant Starbuck.

Rock Lobster

Rock slab on Rock Lobster trail in Whitehorse, Yukon

Double black diamond, child’s play—or both? Three middle-aged dudes tap into youthful energy to create a rock ‘n roll classic on Whitehorse’s Mount McIntyre ski trail network.

Join Yukon builders Rob McConnell, Brian Horton and Marcus Waterreus as they recount the ROCK LOBSTER origin story.

Also featuring Stian Langbakk, Brent Langbakk and Kieran Horton.

The interviews with Brian Horton, Kieran Horton and Marcus Wattereus were recorded on the incomplete trail in May 2020. It remains to be seen how Brian feels about the feature called Dental Rock (Bucktooth) two full seasons after he offered his initial assessment.

The interview with Rob McConnell was recorded in October 2021.
