Your support needed for challenging trails on Cypress

The West Vancouver Parks Master Plan will shape the use of parks and open space in West Vancouver for the next 30 years. The language in the current document does not provide protection to the unique, technically challenging nature of the mountain bike trails on Cypress.

A public open house is being held, and the NSMBA is requesting your attendance to convey a strong message to West Vancouver that mountain bikers value the current riding experience that Cypress provides, and want to see that experience protected.

Date: Tuesday, March 6th

Time: 5:00pm – 8:00pm

Location: West Vancouver Community Centre, 2121 Marine Drive

NSMBA Presents Builder’s Academy to North Shore Land Managers

This Feb 20th, the NSMBA's Program Manager Mark Wood presented the Builder's Academy to the key North Shore Land Managers at BC Parks HQ.  The DNV, BC Parks and Metro Vancouver attended the one and a half hour course followed by a walk thru on Corkscrew to see the building fundamentals implemented in practical use.  It was another positive step forward in relationship building with the Land Managers. 

The Builder's Academy has been approved and will begin in April this year.  Stand by for dates and an official release.  The Builder's Academy is a curriculum built on IMBA & Whistler guidelines, TAP and utilizing the knowledge and experience of Master Builders. 

 

Chainsaw Training

Chainsaw Training

On Feb 18 & 19, 9 NSMBA TAP Builder's were certified in Chainsaw use.  The two day certification course included a day of theory and a day of practical training.  The course was delivered by the affable faller Norman Moore, 30 year professional sawman known to his friends as "Stormin Norman".  At 67, he handles his 42" saw like a man half his age. 

The NSMBA would like to thank Metro Vancouver for the use of the Learning Center at Rice Lake as well as the location for bucking practice.

The curriculum covered safe saw use as well as maintenance of the saw and proper PPE.  The NSMBA would like to congratulate the following TAP Builder's for their recent certification:

Seb Kemp
Daniel Lui
Darryl Marlatt
Peter Morin
Sven Luebke
Mark Wood
Earl Allen
Pat Podolski
Chris Barker
