The Coastal Crew's Backyard - Truvativ Video
A few months back we spent some time in Coastal Crew's Sunshine Coast backyard. We turned the cameras on them and filmed a day in their life and what inspires their ride. Their amazing surroundings and their upbringing in that environment make what they create as rad as it is.

Who out there would like to close up shop, move to the bush, and build their own cabin and riding zone after watching this?

This is the kind of story that's happening in many small town BC gems. They get discovered. You guys (the guys who grew up there) get priced out. "Millionaires" move in - prices jack up. There's not a whole pile of work in the SSC unless you create your own work so what's the answer to this problem? Is it even a problem or is it just evolution and get over it hippy?
Just remember that, to take one example, when I first started riding here North Van was kind of sleepy. Not many people rode in the early 90s and if you bumped into someone you'd probably know them. Houses cost about 200k. So is North Van the future of the Coast or will the ferry ride save you?
Would you rather see people generally moving into the city or out to the country?
I'm not saying get over it hippy, far from, but give it some more though.... sounds more like resentment than constructive criticism to me.
1. Bowen Island commuters who wanted peace and quiet on the weekend so lobbied for no noise bylaw for the entire weekend. Kind of a bummer for someone who lives there full-time and happens to want to chainsaw some wood on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
2. There used to be rope swings in lynn canyon and mosquito creek where we'd use them to swing off them and swandive into pools. Some new people moved in close by and complained there were too many kids laughing and having fun and said it was unsafe (yeah it probably wasn't safe but whatever.. we were kids and a few smacks to the head ain't gonna kill us). Those rope swings disappeared - removed by bylaw officers.
3. Howabout the gumbies who moved into houses in valleycliffe in squamish and complained because there were too many skanky climbers and bikers passing through the neighbourhood. Yup - using the same trails and bluffs that existed long before those houses went up. Note the trails weren't on the land of those people. Thankfully council told them to get lost
Not a rant - just more of an observation. Hope no-one moves to the bottom of Roberts Creek and starts complaining because there's too much traffic up and down the road on bike or vehicle.
Would sell everything to just move next to you!
Looking Forward to seeing more and more dialled trails coming from you lot!
