30 Nanaimo children will receive bikes, helmets and locks this August thanks to the Stevie Smith Legacy Foundation’s partnership with Pink Bike. Pink Bike’s Share the Ride program raises money to provide disadvantaged children with the opportunity to experience the joy of riding by equipping them with bicycles and basic riding essentials.

“The Stevie Smith Legacy Foundation is excited to partner with Pink Bike again for Share the Ride this year to provide bikes to 30 children who may otherwise not have the opportunity to have a bicycle,” said Michelle Corfield, founder of the Stevie Smith Legacy Foundation.

So get yourself down to the Stevie Smith Memorial Park on the 3rd and 4th of August for an incredible weekend of dirt jumping, racing, beers and parties for all the family.

So stoked. I hope Stevie’s family is proud of the legacy left in his name. It is inspiring to stand on the balcony of the baseball clubhouse up the hill and look out over the pump tracks, dirt jumps, and the old bmx track just filled with bikes in the summer. My son loves that place, and all he wants to do is go to the pump track. He is 4. The bike park is remarkable, and as local riders we are spoiled and privileged with the riding community that exists and seems to be developing around here. Thank you to all who make this place so fun, much love!

How does a pump track comp work? Is it timed or judged or both?
