2005 Red Bull Elevation dirt jump competition
This post is a little off topic for this site (it covers a BMX dirt jump competition), but the subject matter is worth it. Check out the video footage gathered at the event (link below).
Red Bull has been at the forefront of the field of ‘extreme sports’ for some time now, sponsoring events like the Red Bull Rampage and the Red Bull District Ride.
Recently, the company put on a dirt jump competition up at Whistler Village. The event — called Red Bull Elevation — brought together some of the top BMX dirt jumpers in the land on a course that featured HUGE jumps for the riders to strut their stuff. For spectators the event was a blast, even if many of the people watching weren’t familiar with the particular names of each rider’s moves and tricks. Check out this video footage of the event.
At the end of the day, veteran Ryan Nyquist took home first overall, followed onto the podium by Corey Bohan, and Luke Parslow in second and third place respectively.
To view the video, you’ll need to have Quicktime 7 installed on your computer. If I knew how to convert the file back to an older version of Quicktime I would but, unfortunately, video manipulation is not my forte. If you’re interested in downloading a version of the video clip with a higher resolution, drop me a line and I’ll hook you up.
