The Event
The Revelstoke three-day is Canada's Heli-Supported Enduro Adventure, the true Heli-Enduro experience. Three days of unparalleled riding, culminating with a heli-drop on a knife-edge ridge, all for less than the price of a SRAM drivetrain.
This event was created for one sole purpose. Ride the best trails in British Columbia, in one of the most authentic Canadian towns. Revelstoke, B.C.
The race is only a two months away, so we just wanted to give a quick shout-out to those riders that managed to secure an application through the extensive application process. The process was a two-stage application, ensuring backcountry savviness, first-aid training and expected level of aprés partying.
The event takes place on September 1st–3rd in Revelstoke, B.C, a place that was built on the backs of lumberjacks, train conductors and Canada's first generation adventurers. You won't find fashionista's and whiners here, but you will find some of the best singletrack in the world. The whole town oozes a realness that can't be viewed through a computer screen, the only way you can experience it is to touch it, taste it, and inevitably, let some of it rub off on you as you more than likely will take a soil sample or two.
R3D isn't about big name pro's and comforting massages. It's about Big, Expansive, Views, and Long, Humbling, Descents.
Giving Back: At this event, we'll be giving back close to $8,000 in trail work. Yes, it's a big number, but that shouldn't be what matters. More important is the fact that we recognized the need for some stewardship in areas that don't have stewards, or need some extra support. For this race, I've been busily working behind the scenes, obtaining permissions, land tenures and working to ensure that the trails that will be ridden in the event will be minimally impacted, not just for the race, but for the community at large, both now and in the future. We're lucky to be able to be putting a lot back into the trails and if you're coming to the event, you'll get to meet the locals that actually put shovels to dirt. Big thanks to trail builders everywhere!

You also have undoubtedly not spent enough hours hiking your bike in our pristine grizzly habitat to care enough about how you are impacting our environment and changing the mountain bike culture forever. The bike world here in Revelstoke was plenty healthy and vibrant without using helicopters to access wild places.
This event seems more like a money grab for you and much less like an event that cares about Revelstoke at all. Nice marketing plug though. It's clearly all about your business.
Many folks in Revelstoke should know that you didn't have to gain any permission to host your event on a trail "we" the stewards have maintained for years initially for the benefit of "the people" and now apparently for your profit. Rec Sites and trails have done a dis-service to the people, our tax dollars, and have apparently no connection with the Ministry of Environment on this "bike ride". One of the trails you will ride is not an officially recognized trail by Rec Sites and Trails and therefore you sneaked in there without the powers at be knowing what you are doing.
Nice work, pad your pockets, chase grizzly bears away, and take a hell'i up to ride a downhill race on a trail easily accessible and climbable by kids, old folks, and the community of Revelstoke you apparently support.
1 more thang, did you know that one of the trails you are using is not even in Revelstoke's watershed or jurisdiction? It's in the Shuswap bro.
Oh ya, did you consult First Nations?
Or does "Enduro trump" grizzly bears, First Nations, and those of us who have kept this trail open to folks like yourself who aim to profit on the stewards who do the work for you....?
