That knee was the first thing that hit the ground after crashing at probably 70km/h, the inside of leg was rotting away and i was told i could potentially loose part of my leg. I grew up riding Sun Peaks, its my favourite place to ride, now im recovered we made an edit I'm really proud of.—Ace Hayden
Right on Ace! Good to see you healthy and ripping again. (Without your knee you don't have a leg to stand on shredding Sun Peaks!) They have spent a lot of money on the trails up there and have flow and tech! I love that place!!
My wife broke her back there. The mountain was fine, first responders (bike patrol) were awesome, Kamloops ER was awful. Everyone we encountered and observed were to most unprofessional people I've ever seen. They sent us away with a bottle of morphine and instructions to "take it easy for a couple weeks" and "don't ride your bike. hehe".
Sun peaks is so sick now! New steam shovel is way more fun than aline, dm, d1 ever will be. Hope it doesn't get over hyped and get whistler crowds though.
I only visited Sun Peaks once. It does not offer the variety of trails that Whistler has and it is a long drive, but the speed and distance you cover in the air when riding down Steam Shovel is one of my lasting memories of my trips to BC. It is almost ten years ago that I rode there, and I can still relive the whole ride in my mind.
@mackg: I probably should. But in order to do so, I first need to get big bike again, then find time to ride it, and then time to make the trip to BC! That is a big task at the moment, so for now, I have to live from the memories.
