It is with great sadness that we lose two amazing adventurers in such a tragic accident. They inspired a lot of us to go out and reach for our dreams and beyond they will not be forgotten. We will keep them alive with our adventures thinking about them and their memory will forever live on.
Thank you Matthew and Stacey for teaching us kindness dedication and showing us if we work hard and we stay dedicated we to can do big things. As for now they wheel a different territory that cannot be seen with the human eye, but the mountains up there, the rivers, the clouds, and all those beautiful colours and beautiful fields are surely something else.
Thank you you too Colin for doing the best that he could at the time with what he had no matter the outcome you did the best you could and I’m sure both of them knew that, to Kyle and Nigel and others who came the day after to help with the wreck, we salute you for helping during the hardest times possible to everyone out there who enjoys the backcountry it does not come without risk but we do it because we love it. We do it because it makes us feel alive. These two went doing what they loved and they went together as they always wanted to be. We all have heavy hearts most of us didn’t get to know them on a personal level, but we felt like we did through their YouTube because they were just so genuine to all my wheeling friends to all my friends in general to all of you always be careful doing what you love and being out there chasing those views I want you all home safe I want you all with your loving families and friends and to take care of each other💜🥺❤️ rest in peace Stacy and Matthew forever Toyota world runners 🛻🛻🏔️🏔️🌄🌈
Many of us learned today about the loss of two wheelers from our family (https://r.pebmac.ca/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-off-roader-couple-1.7606428).
My condolences to their family and friends.
I am going to express some thoughts about four-wheel-drive recreation, and in doing so, please know that I am not projecting on the actions or intentions of these good people, their accident or those in their group.
Four-wheel drive recreation is dangerous! At the best of times, especially in British Columbia, we are travelling mountain roads that have risk at every moment. Whether it is ground conditions, sharp blind corners, dust, other traffic, industrial traffic, cliffs, drop-offs, steep ravines, boulders, trees, or what have you, there is great risk.
Add in any of a myriad of variables—dust, fog, snow, children, passengers, fatigue, stress, rain, slumping, washouts, mud, gumbo clay, off camber, steep climbs, adrenaline, hunger—and the risk increases!
What I am trying to say here is: Please consider all of these things and know that wheeling has risks at every moment, and your full attention is needed to keep you and your passengers on the road and in good condition.
Know that you have people who love you and are awaiting your return from your excellent adventures.
Please, take care and we'll see you on the trails.
God bless,
Kim Reeves.
