Forrest Riesco Closes Down The Whistler Bike Park for 2016 - Video

Forrest Riesco has been a staple on the Canadian DH race scene for many years – since 2007 Race Face has been a supporter of Forrest and his progression in the DH ranks. Forrest has been charging hard the past few years, including racing full World Cup DH schedules as a privateer with consistent and solid results – in 2015 he finished the year as the 2nd highest ‘privateer’ in the World Cup DH overall standings! He has an unmistakable style and fluidity on the bike that we love to watch and when it's put together with his unwavering work ethic and spirit we know that 2017 will hold even greater things for him. Riesco's jam packed 2016 schedule of riding and racing left us with very little time to work on a video with him until recently when we sent our new in-house videographer Connor Macleod to Whistler for the last day of the Bike Park's operations on October 10th. Connor and Forrest’s goal with this video was to have the most fun possible with the time they had left to shoot before the WBP closed up shop for 2016. We think the goal of a fun edit was achieved.

Enjoy!!
