The North Shore Wild Child
My name is Steve Vanderhoek, I’m 36 and born and raised on the North Shore! I have worked as a career firefighter since 2012 and I love riding my bike. My passion is creating lines that push my riding, creativity and building skills. Im lucky enough to be married to my best friend and professional photographer Kelsey Toevs who always manages to make me look better than I am. I want to bring the community together through bikes and always keen to ride with anyone. More time on bikes, see you on the trails!
We're stoked to continue working with Steve again this season. A rider who has been consistently upping the ante with his control, finesse, and technical skills constructing AND riding some of the most immense features on the planet. He is jaw dropping to watch on the bike, while remaining humble and down to earth off the bike. Steve embodies what it means to be a positive advocate for the progression of our sport. We can't wait to see what he gets up to this year!

Georgia grew up in Whistler, British Columbia and spent her winters snowboarding and summers out of Whistler. It wasn’t until she discovered the bike park at 16 that she finally stuck around town and would become completely hooked on biking. She started coaching the local after school program, and worked in the park, while juggling other jobs and racing to keep the dream alive.
