Brotherly Love - Steve & Mark Vanderhoek: I have always been super close with my brother Mark. Biking, skiing, motorcycles, cliff jumping, we have always done it together. Growing up in North Vancouver BC gave us the perfect backyard to pursue what we love. Fortunately we also share a passion for the same line of work. Starting out ski patrolling on the local hills we moved into forest fire fighting, paramedic schooling, and eventually landed careers working for the City of North Vancouver Fire Department. Unfortunately, we share a mutual attraction to injuries. I was able to find a day when we were both somewhat healthy and coming off injury to get out to Pemberton to enjoy a nice fall day with Kelsey Toevs behind the lens.

That wasn't the case during Boggs first run but after some time to regroup, Reed stomped the drop to secure a spot on the podium with fellow freeride legends, Brandon Semenuk and Kurt Sorge.
