 For a guy that travels around the world riding his bike, it means a lot to hear that BC will always be his favorite place to ride and be. Reason number 4,567 to move to Canada...

 When I tell people I'm from Canada, they say "oh wow you guys got some great trails up there! what are you doing riding here for?" but the truth is that it's just BC. BC is a phenomenon, it's a beast of its own. the rest of Canada wants to move to BC too

 Yeah, I'm from Ontario, but moving to BC in a week ahaha. 50% of the reason is the riding, the other 50% is those life things that enable you to actually justify such a huge move.

 Its really awesome/weird to see Darren talking about slednecking and boarding like mtbing with the first descents and all, considering that those aren't even close to touching what he rides on a bike or what first drops mostly entails now in skiing/snowboarding. That was awesome though, really enjoyed that.

 Yes......Word..... BC is awsome. The peeps of BC have a sick idea of whats fun. Those sick Free Ride bikes you ride. We created the mentality to build the sick trails that warrant the need for Freeride bikes. As for the other sports ill try em out when i hit my 60,s
