2015 Devin & Evin have been battling it out for 2 seasons!!

We just had our first SEA SOIL Vancouver Island Championship Race (V.I.C) last weekend and it was the best attendance ever at the Nanaimo track other than the BMX Nationals!! We would like to thank the volunteers from all the Vancouver Island BMX tracks for making the VIC races such a successful series! Maintaining these BMX tracks takes a lot of hard work and time, from concession stands to operating the goon spoon, thanks again and again!

We would also love to see MORE riders from the Lower Mainland come over and HAVE SOME FUN in the series, there will be over 60 prizes and a Haro race BMX given away at each race!!! Races are either Saturday or Sunday so racers from off the Island can race at another track on the other day i.e. Cumberland, Nanaimo or Victoria to make it worth while.

"This year's Sea Soil Vancouver Island Championship Series is going to be even better!!! Everyone can compete. Sea Soil has headed up this year's series, this the BEST EVER Island Series. Make sure you participate in all the events." track official.

Thumbs up all around!

We (SEA SOIL a small family business on Vancouver Island ) have been sponsoring a few events locally but these races have been very well received by kids and their parents so we have been trying very hard to make each year better than the last.
The first year we were the title sponsor the races were basically the same as any other local weekly Sunday/Wednesday race day, so then the second year I asked if I could get more involved and the VIC Committee said "go for it" within reason. It's been great to have some creative freedom for the races.
Last year we gave away 1 Mtn Bike at the end of all five races and around 60-70 prizes at each race.
