here's the website

www.redbullelevation.com (not much on the site yet)

the jumps they had built while crankworx was going on were nuts. if you're remotely close to whistler on august 25-27 you should go watch.

Hey spomer...you got a working email address I can get you at? Email me dude, ryan@farkin.net I gots some pictures you just gotta see.

That comp looks off the hook, shame there are no course photos, did you happen to snap any of it whilst at Crankworx?

 

[schrammride]

yeah there is an interview with miron on the bmxonline website and from the sound of it, its going to be what metro jam is for the street contests (the best)

 

[schrammride]

cool beans, i think jay miron has done so much more for the sport than a guy like dave mirra or dennis mccoy etc etc--he has done revolutionary contests has started arguably the most innovative company in ALL OF CYCLING.

 

[shootr]

Jay is awesome.. but simma down peeps.
Jay has done some progressive things, and definetly made his mark on the sport.... and he will be a name that will be always remembered and associated with BMX, but....
I don't know if I would go so far as to say that he has done MORE than Mirra, or DMC.
ALL of these atheletes have had a HUGE impact on the sport and the direction it goes.
However.. if we are going to give props.. it really should start with Matt Hoffman, and Ron Wilkerson.... these two have had more influence on the sport the way it is today than anyone.

 

[schrammride]

yea ur excactly right man, but there r so many dudes out there like bob khol and steve swope etc...what i meant by that is dave and dmc dont put on amatuer/pro comps (i am well aware dmc helped put on the gravity games) but gimme a break, jay is a dude that hasnt sold himself like so many guys to sports agents, he has kept it real basically re-inventing schwinn in the mid-90's...however according to hoffman in his book, jay did want more money(do not quote me) and left hoffman and swope on bad terms,dont get me wrong here...wilkerson has done more then his share as well as the names above and i do credit mirra for making bmx a household activity(if u will)
so sorry if i confused u , im tired and its late haha

 

[CreeP]

if you were to drop by montreal on your way maybe

 

[shootr]

Schrammride, I couldn't agree more.

 

[thruster]

girlwhoboards- I would share my bed with you but don't think the wife would like that. (just kidding couldn't leave that on alone) I will be there from the 26th to the 28th pray for no rain.

 

[thruster]

I won't be in the contest if that is what you are getting at. Iwill be up there to ride and take some photos. I saw the jumps and they look sick can't wait leaving friday morning.
So are you going?

 

[santacruzdher21]

yea redbull paid to have the dirt sifted so there isnt a single rock in the jumps

Pictures from todays practice
Redbull Girl Hotness

KC Badger badness

Nyquist Nastyness

More Badger

More Ryan

More Turned Down

 

[schrammride]

nyquist definetly has some gross style.on the other hand, badger has some of the most smooth style since aitken came about fo' sho'

 

[serbdog]

Nyquist also wears big knee pads, elbow pads and four pegs... I think that makes riders styles funky looking. Look at Road Fools 4 with their trail sections, most riders have helmets and big pads and look goofy and most movies out today have no pads and the riders look better, but I don't even know what I am saying at this point. He is better then anyone that is posting cause you would be behind him jumping if you had "style".

Got any pics of the whole course??

Did Alex Dropsy go to this, I thought I read he was going to it? He would be crazy to see since he is a tall guy with no brakes that kills things
