Sicamous is gearing up for a new event coming to town in February.
Work is underway at the dog park, with the construction of tracks, jumps and more, in preparation for the Ripped Snow Bike tour on Feb. 11.
The event is being hosted by Sledgehammers Apparel, in partnership with the District of Sicamous, and will feature demonstrations, training and other activities involving some of the best snow bike riders in Canada.
Snow biking can be described as a marriage of motocross and sledding, in which riders use the body of a motocross bike with a narrow track on the back and a ski up front.
Calgary-based Sledgehammers Apparel, comprised of Sicamous natives Daniel Redeker, Ryan Wilson, Travis Tucker, Jay Knuff and Derek Rousselle 91裸聊视频� are bringing the event to their hometown to give the sport more exposure.
