SIMBS presents…
April 26th, 2012JumpShip 2012 – Are you ready?
April 16th, 2012
JumpShip 2012
June 22 – 24th 2012, Inner Harbor Victoria BC.
BIG AIR ON THE HIGH SEAS
“The second annual JumpShip will take over Victoria’s Inner Harbour from June 22-24, 2012. Presented by the Dockside Mountain Bike Society, this world class freeride mountain bike competition is set on a barge, for added awesomeness. With 40,000 in attendance, live music, beer gardens, and plenty more, the excitement is non-stop. Big air, spectacular tricks and high-seas adventure returning to Victoria B.C.’s Inner Harbour. Last year Jordie Lunn designed the first Freeride Mountain Bike World Tour dirt jump event on a barge. This year he’s returned, determined to do it bigger and better than before! All hands on deck!”
Here’s what people had to say about Jumpship 2011:
“There’s three things I loved about Jumpship; the great environment, the great riding and both of them! hahahahahahaha” - Brett Tippie
“Jumpship last year was one of the most fun events on the series I think. There’s tons of beer, bike and babes. What more could you ask for?” - Geoff Gulevich
“The bar was fun…” - Kurt Sorge
“This event is crazy, sign me up for next year!” - Mr. Tube Steak Guy
“Daddy, why are they riding bikes on a barge with dirt on it?” – My 4 year old Daughter Phoebe
Harbourview Mt. Whimper Challenge (Updated)
April 13th, 2012
New date April 29th The Harbourview Mt. Whimper Challenge!
Ride / Hike-a-bike up Mt. Quimper by way of Harbourview road and the North Trail, to the top of FM Radio. There will be a mandatory “sobriety” test at the top. You might have to balance a balloon on your nose or blow one up, I don’t know? I am certain Dan will think of something? Ride down FM Radio across Harbourview road, down Kumquat/Ankle Biter/Hump then up to the top of GT1 (DH trail). Trail Map Here…
There will be another mystery test at the top. Do a small puzzle/Deflate and pump up your tire/do a basic bike fix (on our bike)/drink an entire coffee or maybe have a choice. But who knows. It will be a surprise. Nothing crazy just to make it fun. Ride down The GT trails to the parking lot!
We will make sure the course is marked with flour and orange flagging tape. With the words MTB Race on them. To avoid confusion with other events like last time. 
Sorry about that trail runners. There will be prizes and who knows perhaps we should make a cup?
If you are interested, check the VIMB.com forum thread on the event here. Start time yet to be determined (or maybe I missed it)?
This event sent in by Dan Cammiade of Freak Maps fame!
Edit: Check out the SWEET looking trophy made by a VIMB regular! Nice work JC!
