Forbidden Bikes Whip Offs
The Forbidden Bike Whip Offs at Mount Washington on Saturday, August 29, was a vibe. With good times all around, the event showcased some rad style and pure stoke from both competitors and spectators.
Stevie Smith Memorial DH
The Stevie Smith Memorial DH Race on August 30 was another awesome tribute to the late Canadian legend, bringing together top riders to race in honour of his legacy.

Gnarnaimo 2023
This year the Island Cup Series stopped in the unceded territory of the Snuneymuxw First Peoples (Nanaimo). We were privileged to be able to ride and spend the day on their land.
This was an awesome event that sold out in 5 minutes! Everyone was in high spirits even with the pouring rain.
Mount Benson holds some of the fastest and longest downhill tracks on the island. These trails challenge riders' fitness and technical abilities! It was clear that Vancouver Island is home to some unreal shredders!
Thank you
