History of the Alberta Freeride Awards

5 years ago the first ever Alberta Freeride Awards were handed out to quite a few lucky winners in front of a crowd of 100 people. The nominees and winners were voted online by other riders which truly made it a People’s Choice Event. The tradition has continued for the last 4 years with the Awards being handed out in a packed lounge at Canada Olympic Park. The event is attended by young and old freerides, downhill riders, dirt jumpers and bike lovers alike. The profile of the event and attendance has grown each year and now the Alberta Freeride Awards are considered to be the Premiere Mountain Bike Event in Alberta. A crowd of 250 strong came out last year to support the Provinces’ Best and hail those riders who are kill’n it!
