This individual has yet to be charged, and it's only if and when crown does go through with charges, that this person can be named. No charges, no bail hearing yet.
The wheels of Canadian justice turn slowly.
Let's all be patient. This arrest is a big deal, and the charges police are recommending are Serious criminal charges.

247. (1) Every one is guilty of an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years, who with intent to cause death or bodily harm to a person, whether ascertained or not,

(a) sets or places a trap, device or other thing that is likely to cause death or bodily harm to a person; or

(b) being in occupation or possession of a place, knowingly permits such a trap, device or other thing to remain in that place.

mightyted,

I'm a bigger dude (6'2, 235) and i've been running a 2014 rm altitude 770 for a year now.

suspension-wise, running the bigdude/vanderham setting on the ride9 chip.
i havent played with that at all since initial setup with Arthur @suspensiontherapy.

I couldn't be happier with the rear suspension. it's plush, almost bottomless feeling on the descent, and feel more capable than my last ride ('13 giant reign x1)
when it comes to climbing, i use the CTD lockout A LOT, despite my initial misgivings that it was kinda gimmicky.
switched into Climb mode, there's a bit of suspension bob when really hammering on a steep climb, but conversely, the rear end stays planted.

the major complaint i have is with the front fork 2014 fox 34. i've never been able to find the sweet spot between slow and fast rebounds.
when it's running well on fast stuff, it tends to pogo on slower, tech sections. when it's running well on the slow, tech stuff, it feels overwhelmed when the speed picks up.
i've played around a lot with different air pressure, and rebound settings, and have been logging it all. still not there…

otherwise. spec is great. you can't argue with XT brakes and drivetrain. i'm running a oneup 1x10 setup, and atlas 35mm stem and sixc carbon bar. otherwise mostly stock.
oh, and i upgraded the wheels, but I see rocky is already doing that too on the 2015's.

Overall. Solid B+, and if i were to ever get the fork figured our (or replaced) it's an easy A.
oh, and carbon=dead sexy.

the beer is really good.
growler fills and nice folks running the place.
and they're often 'testing' out new things

i've got some avid levers. they need cleaning, but otherwise good to go.

Chilliwack is actually a pretty good homebase for riding. Vender and Sumas are right there, and it's not too far to daytrip the Shore, Squamish and Whistler. When you're heading east you can hit Kamloops on the way through.

thanks Biggles and friends.
rode IMBY a couple of times this weekend, and it's great fun (and way better than pushing up the wall)

Just got off the phone with RCMP.
35 year old rider from out of town.
at about 12:15 another rider found him down and in medical distress on Pipeline.
medical distress as a result of crash.
deceased is described as an experienced rider, next of kin has been notified.
the victim was transported off the hill just after 6pm by helicopter lift.

Alex, you just need to bring the Borat Mankini to biking.
Lots of room for armour.
