Pro snowbike riders Cody Matechuk and Brock Hoyer de-brief on Saturday night following a hot lap on the Revy Riders snow bike track. On March 17 the local action sports group hosted the final round of the MCQMX snow bike nationals. Going into the finals of the MCQMX series on Saturday night, Matechuck stood in first on the leader board. He called the Revy Riders snow bike track the best he’s ridden. “It’s probably the best snow bike track out there and really cool to see the series grow in Canada,” said Matechuk. “Having the community back an event like this in a dawning sport is really amazing.” In 2017 and 2018 Matechuk and Hoyer shared the podium at the winter X-Games.

But last January in the sophomore outing of the sport at the XGames, Matechuk took home gold and Hoyer took home silver. (Jake Sherman/Revelstoke Review)
