Spring 2016, me and a bunch of my mates finally decide to realize one of our craziest dream, three weeks of riding in BC. Whistler, then Coast Gravity Park, to end with Kamloops and Sun peaks. Obviously, we wanted to be there before Crankworx, so we get there a week early to get a first taste of the Canadian dirt.

We are all from the smoggy Paris, but my buddy Charlie lived in Whistler for two years, so he’s got a battle plan ready for us.

The Ferry ride from Vancouver to the Island is breathtaking, BC at its best. After another 40 minutes of driving in our freshly hired Dodge Ram, we arrive. (French people only drive 1.9L Diesel bloody Renault so that 5.8L Ram petrol just sticks us to our seats)

Summer Vibes in BC
After battling with the elements, burning brake pads and the dusty dirt, nothing better than a little swim in some fresh water.

Back to Whistler to enjoy Crankworx, we decided to heckle the DH with beers instead of racing, and I took the time to get a few sick shots from Joyride.

After Crankworx, it’s time to head to Kamloops, Charlie swears they are the best trails he has ever ridden there, so no time to waste.
