What started as a way for Dave Sandsmark to keep up with his kids on bikes turned into a lifelong passion that shaped his community. From launching Burnt Bikes in his basement to building world-class trails (sometimes with the help of unsuspecting shuttle passengers), Dave’s dedication to mountain biking runs deep. With unwavering local support, Burnt Bikes became BC’s Favourite Bike Shop—proving that small-town passion can make a big impact.
The inspiration for Fukasaku began years earlier when Dai first arrived in Northern BC. Despite the region's rich waters, he noticed much of its incredible seafood wasn't available to locals.
"Growing up in Tokyo, seafood was always an integral part of my life," Dai recalls. "I started daydreaming about opening a restaurant showcasing only local seafood once I became a landed immigrant in Canada."
Since 2017, we have donated more than $11,000 to these organizations who are work hard to make our community a better place to live.
