Sunday afternoon saw the finals of the Dirt Jump Invitational tournament featuring some of the world's best riders. These bikronauts (cycrobats?) are fantastic and have taken cycling into places we never even dreamed of when I was a kid. In the photo above that's a local boy 15 years old - I don't know his name but if any of my visitors do, please let me know. He deserves a lot of credit and though he landed hard after this stunt, he was back for more fifteen minutes later. It all took place on a barge moored in the Inner Harbour at Ship Point. An incredible event.

Oh Lord! I am a bundle of nerves just looking at this scene. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteYeah, check out my recent post for photos of the event as well.
ReplyDeleteI think they stole some of the thunder from Buccaneer Days. I went down to Esquimalt afterward to find the crowds pretty sparse.
What a great shot of the rider and bike in the air! These guys amaze me. They take some really hard falls and get up and do it again. I think they'll be feeling it when they are in their 50's though. lol
