Bike Park Celebration

Opening Day of the Bike Park is counted down to by everyone with a bike within driving, pedaling or flying distance of Whistler. Thinking opening day never gets the party it deserves, The Camp of Champions thought we’d throw one. To celebrate the return of the king… The Whistler Bike Park, we are throwing a party at the Longhorn with $12,000 in draw prizes, on opening day, May 16, 2009 from 10:00AM to 5:00PM.

It came together fast after the original idea, a week ago, to throw a party at the Longhorn to celebrate the return of the Bike Park. What started as a simple “Hey, lets have a party” turned into $12,000 in free stuff, demo bikes from Banshee for people to ride on opening day, dope new 2010 bikes from Transition and Norco that you can check out and drool on.

We thought it would be cool if we had prizes for people to win. So… To make the party about riding, having fun and getting free stuff, Banshee has thrown in a Wildcard complete which Straitline Components is tricking with all of their components and we’re giving away five,  5-Day Deluxe Camp packages for this summer, and our camp sponsors have chipped in prizes so there will be lots of stuff from small to large to win over the course of the day.

The Longhorn, Kokaneee and Red Bull have supplied the patio and there will be, as they say in the draft, “A Band to be named later”. The Longhorn patio is an all ages restaurant so you don’t have to be over 19 to be part of the fun.

The party goes from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM on May 16 on the Longhorn Patio. The draw prizes will be awarded on the Longhorn patio at 5, so bring your bike, hit the park, meet some new friends, win some stuff and partake in the First Annual Bike Park Opening Day Celebration.
