It's not far away, the Elevation comp in Whistler. You can count on Chris Doyle to be there and blast a couple of turndown 360-s over the biggest sets in a way that only Doyle can. Here's what Chris had to say about the comp.

1) What does the Elevation comp mean to you?
Good times, great location, and good friends.

2) Do you fancy riding real trails going down a hill?
Heck yes! Who wants to pedal?

3) Have you seen photos of the 2007 dirt jumps yet?
I saw a couple photos but not the whole course and it looks incredible.

4) How bad do you think it is that Dirt is no longer a discipline in the X-Games?

For BMX as a whole it really sucks especially since that's where BMX started in the first place. On a personal level, I could care less.

5) Do you have any tricks you want show on the last big set?
I'll let you know after I've hit it a couple of times.

6) I would be stoked on (choose one):
a) A top 3 score
b) Making finals
c) Don't care about the placing, I just want to ride Elevation with my buddies

Chris Doyle: C. It's an honor to be invited out to Whistler and ride with everybody.

7) Thanks to: Jay Miron and all of the guys who worked so hard to make this event happen again. Big shout out to all of the guys who've been digging as well!
