Sick tricks, as the kids say, from The Zone’s Dirt Jump Invitational JumpShip.

This here is Langley’s Mitch Chubey, flying between the ramps of what they call a ‘vert wall’ (I’m getting schooled up on all the lingo; when I was a kid, I was thrilled I could do a bunny hop and a donkey kick on my BMX) (aren’t most walls vertical?) during The Zone’s JumpShip.
For a sport I’ve never shot before, I got a surprisingly huge rush out of shooting this event, even though I could only make it out for the practice runs before the real mayhem began.
I would totally shoot more of this kind of thing in a heartbeat. In my few short hours there, I learned a lot, had great fun and, of course, got some great shots.

Victoria’s Jordie Lunn, one of the organizers behind The Zone’s JumpShip, catching wicked air off the 20′ big double thingymadoo.

Whistler’s Brandon Semenuk, mid-flip between the 20′ and 18′ big doubles (reminder: just learning the lingo; no guarantees as to my accuracy).
