Good to get a taste…. I grew up in North Van…. I had to pull roots for a
German guy in West Van to buy my first Mountain Bike. Borrowed a few Nishiki
Bushwackers before that. I got the Mtb bike because of some the guys you
mentioned were riding around. I also was a super small ice hockey player so I
figured I should get stronger for the WHL Draft in the 80's…. By 18, I was the
youngest (ever) to qualify and race at the 1990 World Mountain Bike
Championships with Ned, Tinker, Tomac Thomas…. I lined up with all the guys I
studied in the mags…. I managed a few top 10 in World Cup Dowhnhill…. 91 BC
Mountain Bike Champ….. I was mentioned zero times…. There is a lot of North
Van bike culture missing here……
