North Shore Credit Union Family Fun Day set to go this Sunday

 Sunday, June 5, 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM – Lonsdale Ave (11th - 12th Street) North Vancouver, BC

 This is the final event of the North Shore Credit Union World Mountain Bike Festival and we wanted to invite everyone down to Lonsdale on Sunday to check out some unbelievable riding displays from some of the top Trials and BMX riders in the country.

 The schedule includes the following:

 • The always amazing Ryan Leech. I saw Ryan for the first time years ago in Whistler Village and he just seems to keep getting better! With his all new buff SUV, trailer and metal framed boxes and ramps this is one hot show!
 • I have been hearing about the BMX Stunt show for a while and have finally tracked down the organizer Christophe Bioules who does great stuff on a BMX bike. He brings out 2 performers and an announcer and throws it down!
 • Having these two acts alone in one venue is awesome but we also have a bunch of stuff for those younger riders that is totally fun as well
 o The Purple Pirate is a guy by the name of Dustin who does a great magic presentation in combination with a bike safety show that is super fun for young kids
 • Participatory races around our performers for kids age 5 to 10. All participants get to come on stage and receive a custom medal and other prizes
 • A Spiderman Bouncy Castle (why don’t they make these things for adults??)
 • We are also giving away 2 free kids bikes courtesy the good folks at Norco! Anyone can enter to win.

 We also have a great EXPO with manufacturers, bike shops and sampling!

 Best part is the entire show is *free*.

 Please come and support us and the work that we are doing to further mountain bike riding and access on the North Shore!
