Let’s raise $10,000 for Flow trails AND Jank trails.
The shore has a unique selection of both “Flow” trails AND “Jank” trails – and your favourite trail might be a mix of both. The NSMBA trail crew and volunteer builders care for it all: buffing berms on the Bypass and building bridges on Boundary.
To celebrate this beautiful blend, and to fund the work that keeps it riding well all year round, we’re running a donation matching campaign, complete with stickers and water bottles created by our friend Cy Whitling.
If you love the Flow, or you love the Jank, or you’re happy riding it all, please consider donating. Donations above $20 will receive tax receipts on request.
Every dollar you give will be matched by a generous community donor, up to $10,000. Double your impact!
Donations of $50 or more will receive a limited edition water bottle and sticker pack, featuring a Doe riding Flow and Hank riding Jank.

About the NSMBA
The North Shore Mountain Bike Association (NSMBA) is a non-profit community trail association that sustainably builds and maintains mountain bike trails on Vancouver’s north shore, the traditional territory of the Coast Salish people. We represent the local mountain bike community in relationship with land managers and other trail stakeholders. The NSMBA provides the community with volunteer trail work opportunities, a strong advocacy voice, mountain bike events, and professional trail maintenance on nearly 80kms of singletrack across Cypress, Fromme, and Seymour.
FAQ
How the match works
How does the match work?
A generous community donor will match every dollar you donate, up to $10,000.
When does the campaign run?
November 1, 2026 to January 31, 2027.
Is my small donation matched too?
Yes. Every donation, at every level, is matched until the $10,000 is reached.
What if the $10,000 match fills up before the campaign ends?
You can keep donating. Donations made after the $10k goal is reached still go directly to the trails, but are not matched.
The limited edition pack
What do I get for $50 or more?
Well-maintained trails, consistent and strategic advocacy, and a limited edition Jank & Flow water bottle and sticker pack.
Do I have to choose Jank or Flow?
Every water bottle and sticker pack carries both the Jank and Flow graphics, so there is nothing to choose. (Donors receive 1 water bottle and 2 stickers.) Donations will go towards trail maintenance on both types of riding styles. So the only choice you have to make is: which trails you want to ride.
Who made the art?
Cy Whitling created the sticker and water bottle art. Cy is a pacific northwest rider and trail builder who also creates mountain bike related art for nsmb.com, events, and other bike brands.
How do I get my pack?
Packs are picked up locally at Valhalla Pure Outfitters North Vancouver. We will email you pickup details after your donation.
Can I get my pack shipped?
Yes. Add shipping at checkout. Shipping is $15. Shipping in time for Christmas – Order by Dec 4th (Canadian shipping only. Sorry, we are unable to ship internationally.)
Tax receipts
Will I get a tax receipt?
If you request one, you can receive a tax receipt for donations of $20 or more. Receipts are not sent automatically, so please request yours at info@nsmba.ca
Is the receipt for the full amount if I take the pack?
No. When you receive a pack, the receipt covers your donation minus the $27 value of the pack. A $50 donation gets a $23 receipt, and a $100 donation gets a $73 receipt.
What if I donate without taking a pack?
Your whole donation is receipted (for $20 or more) and matched.
Does the match get me a bigger receipt?
No. Your receipt is for your own donation. The matching gift comes from our community donor.
Where the money goes
What does my donation fund?
It supports the NSMBA’s professional year-round trail work, from buffing berms to building bridges, across the North Shore trail network.
