PRESS RELEASE

Win a Knolly for New Year’s AND Support Whistler's Trails!

It might be hard to fit a new bike under the Christmas Tree this year, but if you want to dig into the feeling of the season and give back to the trails you might just end up with a fresh new Knolly Chilcotin courtesy of WORCA's "Time to Ride" raffle. Check out the release below for more information, including the rules and regulations on who can enter.

Both WORCA and Knolly are strong supporters of the grassroots movement and finding creative ways to support young people in our local communities. In the video “Time to Ride”, WORCA worked with local youth to create their vision for a video that showcases the new Knolly Chilcotin and the ZEP Racing/WORCA Youth Enduro Team. With the direction and videography of 15-year-old Jayden Inniss, Jayden worked with three Knolly-supported youth racers to pick lines, set-up shots, and showcase the new Knolly Chilcotin on their favourite Whistler trails. Post-production editing was done with support from Sea to Sky local youth Jakob Jewett in helping to select the shots and the storyline. We hope you enjoy watching these 15 and 16-year-old kids shred their backyard. Good luck in the raffle and buy your tickets to help our trails!
