It’s been a awesome first year at the new spot, lots of rain this summer, which lead to lots of digging. We ended up redirecting our mainline, and the first few jumps turned out real good. Shit is looking tight these days…..just in time for the snow to fly. Frozen ground for 4 months, if we’re lucky we’ll be able to dig again in Feb or March.
Trail-o-Ween jam is on October 29.
Here is a VERY short edit that is leading up to the edit I”m currenlty working on. So if you care to see more….check back soon or come by ShuVL

Shuvlbmx in association with Boicott and Deluxe present the BMX Lake Jumping World Championships. This event is going to be the real deal. Both a woman, and a man will be crowned World Lake Jumping Champions.
Venue: Mountains, trees, a rocky beach, and a beautiful lake await the riders who dare this dangerous event. This is not going to be your regular dock to quarter pipe type event. The beach allows expert course designers a 100′+ downhill design with banked turns, and a jump or two before you and your bicycle are thrown into the Kooteney Lake. The jump itself will be large, some, may even call it unjumpable, until that World Champion steps forward and throws down the trick of the century.
Scoring Criteria:
Location: Kaslo, which is a short 20 min drive from the venue boasts beautiful scenery, and a large venue jazz festival on the August long weekend. Tickets can be purchased here. Ainsworth hot springs are about a 5 min drive where a $10 entry will bring you into the natural caves that these unique hot springs have to offer.
Entry: Riders are required to pay a $10 entry fee, that is fully paid back into the course for the event. Waivers must be signed before entry upon the concourse.
Additional Info: Camping and a bathroom are on site, but there are no showers or other facilities. Lake jumping bikes will be provided for riders.

Glass, concrete, car parts, bricks, and more garbage then you can believe. We have come across some terrible shit when digging. The absolute worst has to be 1.5m x .75m wide concrete slabs that we come across…the last one took 5 guys.

Every single drop of sweat is worth it to me. Riding any jump for the first time is awesome, and the feeling you get when you guinea pig it is even better. Sometimes it takes that push from someone else to put the shovel down and ride the mainline that you’ve been building for 2 months. We started March 1, 2010 and on May 1, 2010 we rode the first 2 jumps of mainline, and we didn’t really know if it was going to work perfect. It’s easy to say that there was some disbelief that anything would “work” at Lucky; it wasn’t jumps in a straight line for them, I don’t think we really have a straight jump yet… it will come, and so will the satellite dish.

Seeds are being planted, wheelbarrows are being fixed, and dirt is piling. 2 months in, and it’s great to have trails after 2 years of nothing. Chucky Bones, is in our distant past, it was torn down by the Province of Alberta 2 years ago, going into it’s 5th summer.
Lucky is working. People are contributing, arguing, building, and learning…the whole process starts again.
Saturday we rode main line, and it worked perfect. Once the landings get rock hard (we have very little, if any clay…yet) everything will work just fine. Everyone’s been diggin together for a while now…some up to 15 years, so HERE’S to 5 more years in the woods. For more posts and other random BMX stuff check out ShuVLBMX.
