    Free Candy Tour // Episode 6 Full Dust Warfare

    • Series Page

    Widespread drought and wildfires were ravaging British Columbia all around us. Our helicopter departed the landing strip in Revelstoke and we entered the smokey abyss that encompassed the valley. As we gained elevation, we suddenly found ourselves above the smoke. A landscape of jagged peaks appeared before us.

    The helicopter set down on a knife edge ridge, where our friends were waiting for us. We unloaded our bikes, tagged in with our timing chips, and raced back down a narrow, powdery trail towards the smoke. This was full dust warfare at the Revelstoke 3-Day Heli Enduro. After the race, we headed to Nelson with our friend Nate “Forrealz” Hills and engaged in another skirmish.

    Day three was cancelled due to torrential rain. The weather cleared a few days after the race, and we rode what would have been the final course, Wakamarina track. This bar at the bottom of the trail would make a great investment for someone, as we surely aren’t the only delirious mountain bikers to stumble in here post-ride and order the whole menu.
