2008 Dangerous Dan's Flowshow Invitational

Posted: Feb 26, 2008

A few weeks ago Dangerous Dan hosted his own "Flowshow Invitational". Where local riders get to come out and ride the renowned Mountain Bike "Flowshow" with hopes of winning free swag or a spot as a regular "Flowrider". Schne and I went into Vancouver for the outdoor show and a chance to ride inside during the wet winter we've had out in the Valley.

The Flowshow made for a pretty fun weekend. Hosted at BC place, mountain bikes got a spot on the side to showcase out sport. Rigged out with Endless Biking's pumptrack and the "Flowshow". Locals and anyone who signs a waiver can ride Danger's wooden set up. I came out and got to ride right away because I had been there the year before.

A lot of the photo's are of me but check it out:

They need to bring back the DJs they had at the 05 and earlier shows. The outdoor show in general has gone downhill in the past 3 years

I dont want to brag but seeing as you are all saying that jump couldnt be three'd. I just wanted to say that i did it 5 or 6 times while i was there. But I did end up breaking my hand on when i tried to do it during the last show.
