Sweet Sea Photography Fundraiser a Success!

A massive thank you to Shannon Kay of Sweet Sea Photography for volunteering her time and skills on Saturday (in the cold and the wet) for the Bike Park and to Nigel Ross for the use of his Christmas tree farm (on Evergreen at the ERT).

ALL proceeds from the photoshoot went to the CR Bike Park and we raised $1200!!!

The photos are fantastic and we are sooooo incredibly grateful for everyone’s generosity.

Please check out the Sweet Sea Photography @sweetseaphotos on Instagram or visit her website: Sweet Sea Photography.

And if you still need a tree there were some pretty nice trees still available. A few shots from the weekend…

Nanaimo’s Stevie Smith Bike Park to Open August 9

Nanaimo is opening a bike park on Aug 9, 2017. The park has been named in the memory of professional downhill racer, “the Canadian Chainsaw” Stevie Smith.

You can learn more about Stevie Smith and the bike park in this article from Nanaimo News Now:

The park, with an overall budget of $412,000, will include a dirt jump, pump track and skills park. Several groups, including the Gyro Club of Nanaimo, have been pushing behind the scenes for years to make it a reality. Harding says the concept has been around for a number of years and a bike park was included in the recently updated and approved Beban Park Master Plan. He says a company out of Whistler will be brought in to help with shaping some of the jumps and positioning some of the ramps.
