The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

ok guys, so i'm up at Whistler for my internship. I'm doing event administration with a company called Cleanevent. We start today, so I'll find out what venue I have. We have all of the mountain venues, none of the arenas (They're 2 hours away from us in Vancouver). So anyway, I'll keep you guys posted on here and post pics as I get 'em.































This is the view from our camp

ok so i just found out that i will be in the Whistler Medals Plaza - which is amazing because 1) thats where all the medals ceremonies and concerts are and 2) because its in whistler villiage and i can go ride before work most days. My typical work days when i get all set up will be like 4pm-12am.. ish.. but yea. right now we're doing a lot of training so the hours arent like that yet. also, they're still building my venue.. so idk.. but yea. PUMPED!

Very, very nice! Enjoy the experience. Enjoy W/B, don't let the Olympics (moreso the athletes) tarnish your experience.



Keep us all posted.



Ride On! W/B has some amazing terrain.
