“A new event for 2011, Jumpship will showcase the worlds best freeride mountain bike riders competing in Victoria’s Inner Harbour before a crowd of thousands. Jumpship will bring mind blowing skill and fearless competitiveness to a new level as riders will battle for cash and personal pride on the surface of a floating barge in Canada’s most beautiful city.”
“The Inner Harbour is the bustling, vibrant, center of the action in Victoria. Absolutely filled with tourists all summer long, it presents a competition venue unlike any other. With live music and beer gardens there will be something for everyone, whether a fan of cycling or not. Set against a picturesque backdrop of yachts, the legislature buildings, and beautiful hotels, Jumpship will bring freeride mountain biking into the heart of an urban center to create a spectator experience like no other.”
“Take one of the most scenic downtown’s in North America, add a huge barge and hand it all over to the worlds best freeriders.”
“World famous rider and course builder Jordie Lunn has designed a course to challenge the FMB World Tour elite with massive jumps, drops and park features, all on a floating barge! Jumpship’s setting will let spectators get in close to the riders and all the action.”
I know I am looking forward to the unique event, will be well worth the effort to get here to see this. Stay tuned to VIMB.com and to the Jump Ship website for more details and see you there!

“This is a pre-trailer to a film with Tara Llanes. The film follows her and other paraplegic athletes overcoming the challenges of their injuries”. Pretty powerful stuff, inspirational and thought provoking. I am looking forward to the release of this film.
Nice work Aaron.

From the BC Bike Race Tours Page… So stoked on this!
BC Bike Race is proud to introduce BC Bike Ride, featuring mountain bike tours all over British Columbia.
We’ve been doing a mass tour for 500 at our Race, so imagine what we can do for a group of ten to twelve! Still BC, still epic singletrack, but now “The Ultimate Roadtrip Experience“.
We will travel between all the best mountain bike destinations in BC to explore the trails that make this the best place to bike.
