Jumpship !

For the past two weeks I have been helping Jordie Lunn build and put together Victorias first ever big jump comp dubed JumpShip. Along with the help from myself and other local homies such as Jarrett, Wink, Kona Jon, and Kody we all worked hard on getting the ramps ready for when the barge arrived on monday. The ramps were all done and loaded onto the barge with no time to spare before the dirt started rolling on.

On Thursday Howey, Fogel and, Christian Wright rolled over from the mainland for a pre comp shred at my house to warm up for the weekend.

The three day long event went off without a hitch Friday we had a solid practice session from 2 till 730 and on Friday. And on Saturday we had Tippie on the mic for our intro runs and best trick.

I had two really solid days of riding i got some good lines and was excited to see how it would go on Sunday in the finals. unfortunately on Saturday night in best trick I cased a three whip with my back tire and ended up slamming my shoulder on the hard packed flat bottom and was not able to ride in the finals, but i held it down in the beer gardens with Logan, Howey and the intern watching as the other riders slayed the course. In the end Brandon took the win and wink held it down for Victoria coming 7th props homie!

All in all this was an amazing way to kick off the summer. the jumps, friends, crowds, and the parties were all amazing and i am psyched for next year they have some bigg plans!
