No, the Free Ride contest hasn’t changed. You will continue to find me with the Jeep for 103 minutes, twice a day, Monday to Thursday, until August 8th.
Friday was a special day, however. Big White invited the crew and I to broadcast the Afternoon Drive from Freeride Days! What an awesome way to head into the weekend! And I don’t just mean we were “on site” to broadcast from the mountain bike park – we had the best seat in the house!

From Beach Radio to our amazing vantage point, it’s 64km (if you’re worried that am putting too many clicks on the odometer this summer, relax; I’m only at 2200). First up, the women’s slopestyle event. Slopestyle courses include jumps, large drops, quarter-pipes and wooden obstacles. For anyone that thinks this is a young ladies sport, think again; a 47 year-old woman can compete at this high of a degree. Humans are unstoppable! Canadian Stephanie Nychka took first place!
The men followed with some “light” practice runs for Saturday’s slopestyle Gold event.
But the show-stopper was the Best Trick competition! Talk about having a front-row seat to jaw-dropping, gravity-defying, adrenaline-pushing action! What a great way to cap off an afternoon of thrills and spills!
This is a very family friendly event, with food and beverage on site! Worth the 64km drive!
