Dirtjump contests don't get much better than the Red Bull Elevation in Whistler, Canada. First of all, take that location. It's one of the most beautiful places on earth. It's got hotels, it's got bars, it's got bears and it has those huge lifts that take you to the top. In the wintertime the place is filled with snowboarders. In the summer the mountain bikers invade the town and in 2010 Whistler hosts the Olympic Winter Games. But there is one weekend in the year that makes more sense for BMX-ers to make the trip up there; The Red Bull Elevation. The jumps are built well in advance to make sure they're perfect when the best riders in the world arrive. Going down the hill it's possible to build bigger stuff (more airtime) and with some money (and prestige) on the line you know this place goes off.
Today we've got a lengthy video for you that covers the Elevation contest quite well. Riders and organizers get interviewed and the show gets built up. Who won again? If you forgot, grab a drink and start this movie.

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
