 Our retail shop is now open for servicing, if your ride need a little love just give us a call at 604-938-9455 and book your appointment now. Need to upgrade forks or pedals or even get some new rubber, come by and ask one of our pro’s about what will fit your needs. Our body armor is here also, come and get a new helmet by Giro, Bell, gloves by Fox or just some new shorts from RaceFace, Sombrio or Troy Lee we have it all.

 Our Rental shop will open in mid May, a few days before the W/B bike park opens. Again this year we have surpassed ourselves to offer the best rental bike in the valley, bar none. Our Norco A-lines will be decked out with full Shimano Saint Groupo and FSA hardware for the best performance bike around.

My Blog: New season.
By: jeffleigh


This winter was one of the best snow years Whistler has seen in a long time.  42 feet fell this year.  Most of it at the beginning.  Which makes for less crowds and more snow for us to shred.  I skied some deep snow this year for sure.  My old friend Bryan showed up for a few weeks.  He got a new camera nad was stoked to get out using it.  But its May now and its bike season.  The valley is in good shape now with a few good XC trails open like Cut yer Bars and the Zappa trails in Lost Lake.  The Whistler Dirt Jumps are getting another overhaul right now as well.  Which brings me to my new ride.  I am building up a Chromag Stylus frame.  This will be my do everything bike, Loonie rides, dirt jumps, bike park, and all day epics.  I can't wait to finish it.  Spring is here get out and ride.
