Lost for words! So incredibly honoured to win the 2025 Stevie Smith Memorial Award🤍 Thank you so much @s_tianna and @gaberfox for considering me for this award, I had no idea!
This means so much to me and was the best possible ending to @crankworx Whistler. In a year full of big ups and downs, this is at the very top and an awesome way to complete a successful week of racing 😊

STEVIE SMITH LEGACY FOUNDATION
“From a young age Stevie was hooked on the Whistler Crankworx festival in the bike mecca of Whistler Bike Park each year. During his transition to a full time World Cup Racer Stevie would stay true to his BC roots and make the pilgrimage to Crankworx Whistler each year. In true Stevie style he relished on the complete week; multiple downhill races, plenty of park laps, and the never ending apres. The ability to race multiple events in a week, in an amazing place kept him coming back each year, even while a mainstay on the World Cup circuit.In celebration of Stevie’s love for Crankworx Whistler and the immense talent which the festival draws each year, the SSLF aims to present the Steve Smith Memorial Award each year.
This award is targeted at a young un-supported racer who competes in all 3 major gravity events at Whistler Crankworx; the Garbanzo DH, A-Line DH and Canadian Open DH. With priority given to the Canadian Open DH, we search for the most deserving, in-need young rider to achieve their onward goals.”

Well that one hurt! Not how I wanted the weekend to go. I was feeling really good, cleared it the lap before and then changed my mind after I’d already committed. I tried to stop but was going too fast and went straight into the scrub wall!
Really bummed but happy to not have any serious injuries, just very sore. Decided to break the beam in seeding yesterday for a DNF but couldn’t grip my bars today so ended up not doing a race run. Thanks so much to the medical team and spectators that helped me. See ya next year @riderockcreek

Our new Atlas handlebar is the perfect finishing touch on @ruby_j_wells DH rig.
Downhill bikes demand a bar that can keep up. Compliant enough to reduce fatigue and durable enough to take the hits, Atlas steps up. Ruby is running our 40mm rise in silver ano, looking right at home on her @cyclesdevinci Chainsaw.🪚
Built and ready for the toughest terrain you can throw at it, and already proven on track. Ruby took first place in her category at the Tennessee National DH race last week, kicking things off with a strong start to the season.
Swipe through for the details!
