UPDATE ON KAI 📣

Well, that’s a wrap on the 2026 BMX World Championships. 🇨🇦🌎

Going into Worlds, we truly had zero expectations. After the significant injuries Malakai suffered just a few weeks ago, our focus shifted from chasing results to simply being grateful he was healthy enough to be on the gate.

Before the injuries, he had a very different goal in mind. Unfortunately, circumstances forced us to reevaluate, and he came into this experience with as little expectation as possible—just wanting to give it everything he had.

Today, he proved that he deserved to be here.

He fought hard, pushed through every setback, advanced through his motos, and earned a spot in the 1/8 finals. While it would have been amazing to go even further, Malakai is genuinely proud of what he accomplished, especially considering everything he’s overcome.

Finishing the year ranked among the top riders in the world is something to be incredibly proud of. More importantly, he leaves Brisbane healthy, motivated, and grateful for the opportunity to represent Canada on the world stage.

Thank you to everyone who followed along, cheered him on, sent messages of encouragement, and supported this journey. It truly means more than you know. ❤️🇨🇦

Until the next gate…

We are incredibly proud of Kai!!!

Helloooo Big Ben Family 🌞

We want to sincerely thank everyone who has reached out over the past few days with your kind words, messages, phone calls, and the overwhelming support you've shown following the break-in at Big Ben Ski Hill.

The response from our community has been incredible. Seeing the original post shared over 146 times and reading all of your encouraging comments has reminded us just how fortunate we are to be part of such a caring and supportive community. ❤️

We also want to extend our sincere thanks to the Cornwall Community Police Service for their professionalism, prompt response, and ongoing efforts in investigating this incident. We truly appreciate their dedication and support.

While this has been a disappointing experience, it has also highlighted something much more important—the strength of our community 🥰. Big Ben Ski Hill has always been more than a ski hill; it's a place where families, friends, volunteers, and neighbours come together. Your support has reminded us why we do what we do.

Thank you again for standing with us. 💪🏼🙏🏼 lifting us up when we really needed it!

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to the hill and continuing to build the positive, community-focused spirit that makes Big Ben so special. 🏂🎿🌨️

For now enjoy your summer! 😎
