I am sure that many of you came out to the Sooke Bike Club premier of Seasons, it was an awesome vibe and a GREAT time. For those of you who couldn't make it do yourself a favor and SEE THIS FILM! It is another great film by the Collective, one that will not disappoint. Vancouver Island was WELL represented in this film, in both location and riders.
Kranked 7 will be another one not to miss... if the rest of the Kranked series is anything to go by, this one should be full of big hits and great shots.
Once again, get your "MTB movie stoke on" and get out to see this one. I will be there as will most of the VIMB crew!
Thanks to the crew from the new "Trek Store" and SIMBS for putting this together!

Press Release: Island Cup 2008 Information and Rockin New Website!
This just in....
2008 Island Cup Race Series - New and Improved!
While snow may cover the Vancouver Island trails, and many a bike hangs quietly in a garage, our local race organizers have been busy preparing for the 2008 race season.
At over 10 years old, the Island Cup Mountain Bike Race Series extends a tradition of mountain bike racing that began 20 years ago with classic races such as Malahat Mudfest, Burnt Bridge, Hornby Island Bike Fest and many more.
Race organizers have chosen the Grass Roots Mountain Bike Association for their insurance provider which means racers will buy their license for Island Cup Races from GRMBA affiliated clubs, which can be done on race day. As GRMBA is also organizer of such classic races as the "Test of Metal", and insurer for the "SORCA Toonie races", we hope to see riders make the trip over to the island to partake in the Island Cup Series.
The 2008 schedule sits at almost 20 races, which includes 5 downhill’s, 5 cross countries, 5 marathon cross countries and 3 super d’s. Classic race courses such as "Hammerfest" and Cumberland’s "Dodge City Downhill" return, while new courses such as "Sproat Lake trails" and the 3rd year for the "50km Campbell River race" which promotes over 50km of epic singletrack.
The first race will be a Super D in Nanaimo on March 8th, and concludes in late September with the “Ramble” in Parksville.
A new website www.islandcupseries.com has been created to keep everyone informed and in contact during the race season. Forums, Photo Galleries, Maps, Race Results and more can be found on the site.
