Mother Nature toyed with everyone at JumpShip last weekend and almost shut it down, but at the last moment the sun came out and the show went on. Levi Allen put together this video from the event.

COOL thats ME! at 2:46 in the middle, good thing i wore my cool fox jersey and my yellow cap. also i enjoyed the graffiti on the jumps made it feel very "urban". nice movie making skills too btw.
Escorted off the "I really love emotional rave music and tripping on ecstasy more than I love Badass Sport" premises, I assume. Escorted right into the "Grown-ups with Music appreciation and BALLS." REST of the world. Admittedly, contemporary music is very touchy-feely and all about getting in touch with your inner clitoris, and without it you just can't sell today's youth, (who somehow found Enya remixes a GREAT way to rebel) but we really need those tender folk to participate and thus grow the sport. So I DO get it. After all, the money they are saving buying electronic equipment to make music instead of ACTUAL instruments means they have more Cash for parts and stuff. It's just depressing that kids get more pumped up on "Goosebumpy String Sections and Talking about Kissing" before a ride more than they do "Knuckle-Bleeding, Bared-Teeth Rock and Roll." Excellent Video though. Kudos.
I still get pumped on Led Zepplin and G'N'R before a run. But to be honest I'm not so much like other guys my age. I obsess about ability and music quality whist the only thing they give a shit bout is how deaf they can go before they go to Uni.
omg lol

Just wondering what sort of camera you're using Levi, & and what framerate were you shooting at to get those slow mo shots?
Like it!)
