We’re back for the second annual Wheels n’ Reels MTB Film Showcase, brought to you by Dialed In Cycling in support of the Menmen tl’a Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh (Squamish Nation Youth) Mountain Bike Team.
Last year sold out, the room was buzzing, and the films absolutely blew us away — so we’re doing it again. March can feel dark, rainy, and endless, so let’s brighten it up the Squamish way: community, creativity, and a whole lot of mountain biking.
New for 2026: Under-18 Category
This year we’re opening up a dedicated Under-18 category to showcase even more young talent and give away more prizes. If you’re under 18 and love making MTB videos, this is your moment — send it.
What’s Wheels n’ Reels?
A community film night celebrating mountain biking culture — the rides, the crashes, the friends, the creativity, and the magic of the Coast Mountains.
Come hang out, watch local films, cheer loudly, and support the youth MTB community at the Brackendale Art Gallery.
