Reece has steadily improved each season and his evolution as a rider is no doubt heavily influenced by the breadth of terrain he gets to ride on a daily basis. From steep dirt jumps and fast pumptracks, to groomed 40 foot tables and cheese grater rock faces, secret stashes of loam and off camber roots, and even the occasional Air Dome session. The trails and the people that ride them have helped mould him. Brandon Semenuk, Ian Morrison, and Adam Billinghurt (among many others), all call Whistler home... is it any coincidence Reece is so good?

 I've been interviewing for jobs lately. There's some good money in some really flat places but I absolutely refuse to go there. I'd rather be a pauper living near mountains and trails than a millionaire in some flat shithole.

 What happened to him being sponsored by chromag, why is he riding semenuk's old slope?

flag KCarruthers (Oct 1, 2012 at 20:50)
 Probably cause chromag doesnt make slope bikes.

 I could be mistaken, but I thought I saw him riding a prototype chromag slope at Claymore?

 A. You can clearly see he is riding a chromag hard tail and all chromag parts for the first bit. B. he was riding a killswitch up until the end bear claw invitational

 nice edit!!! But...

sooo sick of hearing people complain about the music in edits. We're getting older people...Rise Against "type" music isn't very popular to the next generation of riders. Adapt.

 I like that vid. the small jumps in the beginning looked like artwork, so smooth and dialed. He's lucky to have such a good spot to ride and nice to see someone with the skills to ride the spots well.

 Go north on route 41 for about 6.367 km make a hard left onto prostate avenue. Go about 7 furlongs and look for the chain smoking 3 legged deer. Bribe said 3 legged deer with a soft boiled egg and a pack of newports and he will lead you straight to the jump.

 I heard that the deer was five legged and that it wanted a hard boiled egg but it doesnt matter cuz like 99% will never find these spots

 Yeah. im sketchy on the details but the newports are a must
