The Kelowna scene continues to expand, and with an eye to the future as well. This junior ripper already has a dirty face from an earlier wipeout.
The big change to this year’s fest (apart from a much higher turnout, being better run, awesome live music, and a bargain price) was the lake jump.
Whitey built up a 20’ high run in to a big kicker into the lake. Here he is, testing out his creation.
It made for some interesting new tricks, like this hanger banger…
I missed a few of the airs though. I get distracted easily.
Kinrade, your nuts…
Super T and his Super Swan Dive.
Schnepf and some porta pottie hotties. It mus be part of his overall strategy, but I don’t know how it was supposed to work…
Nice tail tap off the lamp post. This was part of the best trick comp back in the Dirt Zone.
They don’t always work out the way you plan. I couldn’t believe how much the level of the locals has gone up this year. Lots of crazy twisting flips with variations, but alas, the young guns had trouble sticking their landings in the actual comp.
Which paved the way for our pal James Doerfling to successfully defend his title. Landing them clean is important, and James nailed his lines consistently for the win.
A couple of nice logo placement shots for the club.
Buehler with a fine Indian Air.
Justin Wyper laying it WAY out with a Flip Whip and some extra style. This kid was killing it all weekend.
“Let’s all get the same shot, and tomorrow we should all dress the same too!”
Some more antics from local wunderkind Casey Groves.
After the sports, there was a killer gig on the beach with Bif Naked, but I got scared by this gnarly mushroom cloud coming off the Terrace Mtn fire and went home.
There’s a bunch more shots from the event over in the Gallery if you need more.
