As we come to Goat Style 2008, May 30th-June 2nd, once again, the bar has been raised. The support from sponsors like Kokanee, Spy Optics, Red Bull, Sombrio, Wynndel Box and Lumber, Home Builders, Specialized Bikes and many more, have allowed Goat Style to reach a level of respect and enthusiasm that riders can’t stop thinking about. Coming into this new year of Goat Style, riders will have the opportunity to display what they think is the best. Spectators from all over will have the chance to view what could be the best. Whether young, old, new or experienced, this years event will have an assortment of things to keep everyone busy and excited. From the huge Slopestyle event, to trials demos, concerts, d.j’s, play station playoffs, ride in at the movies, free stuff, displays of products within the industry and so much more, there will be no time for down time.


At the conclusion of last year’s Goat Style Bike Festival, Murray, plant manager of Kokanee Brewery, wrapped it up with this, “I’m calling this the Crankworx of the Kootenay’s”. From there, Goat Style became something bigger. Riders from all over North America were showing up for one reason, to ride, to have fun, to stand on top. Helicopters were flying around, filming what was to be an insane day of freeride mountain biking.

With Goat Style, it’s an open event for riders to ride. It doesn’t matter if you’re a big name or a no name. What matters, is what is going through your mind as you air off a feature within the park. What makes the difference, is how you throw down, how you stomp your trick. How you put very effort on the line. It’s about what you can do on a mountain bike. And at the end, the always-anticipated cash prize awaits the winners (along with various stellar prize packages). Goat Style has seen record-breaking tricks, first ever tricks, a caliber of riding that stands tall within the freeride mountain biking era. What we’re saying is that all ages are welcome; all levels of ability are encouraged to be there. We have a course for those who dream big, and we have a course for those who are living the dream. With junior/beginner runs, open–badass runs, there are no limits at Goat Style.



Imagination. Why not act on it? Ride hard, ride big, ride Goat Style, it’s where limits are shattered and progression is unstoppable.
