Cool! What else do they do?
The Stoke Squad also runs our Bike Valet which you may have seen at the Revelstoke Paddle Fest, Revelstoke Bike Fest, or LUNA. They help support local events with equipment rental such as tents, lights, displays, and more! They provided much needed support for local non profits who work hard to put on our amazing community events. They collected data for the Visitor Experience survey as well as supported research to better understand the use of mountain bike trails.
