Kokopelli Mountain Biking

Do you know who Tyler Allison is?

Well, Tyler Allison is a 17 year old Cycling BC team member, who is both a cross country racer and a downhiller. He is also a hopeful for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, England. Allison also had the honor of lighting the Vancouver 2010 Whistler Winter Olympic Cauldron on Day 99 of the Torch Relay. What an honor it is too.

Good to see a mountain biker up there participating in such a prestigious and memorable event. Way to go Tyler.

Check out a couple of stories about Tyler lighting the Whistler Cauldron;

I have been looking forward to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games for quite some time. I have been full of excitement. I have been filled with an overwhelming feeling of pride that was sparked even stronger when I was lucky enough to have my picture taken holding the Olympic Torch (unlit). What a memory, what a chance of a lifetime.

Then earlier today I was struck with overwhelming sadness that I still cannot let go of. A very young man, only 21 years old, who worked hard, was obviously determined, filled with Olympic dreams and once full of life, in a split second died on a practice run preparing for his Olympic Luge competition.

I am sure that Nodar Kumaritahvili is in the minds and hearts of people worldwide. I have no doubt that people worldwide,whether they are Nodar's family, friends, or perfect strangers have deep sadness in their hearts tonight.

I have watched the video of Nodar's tragic luge accident over and over. Stunned at his loss of life. I have tried to search the internet for anything that I could put about Nodar and his luge career other than his death today, but cannot find anything. Everything is about his death. Why? Because it is so shocking, so sad.

I hope that everyone, everywhere, whether you are an athlete or not, thinks of Nodar tonight and of his family.

My sympathies go out to the Georgian athletes, Nodar's country, Nodar's friends and Nodar's family. My sympathy is sent to you at such a difficult time. As they Olympic Cauldron was lit tonight, it made me think just how quickly Nodar's Olympic dreams and his life were extinguished. May you rest in Peace.

Whether you are a hardcore dirt jumper or a parent wanting to know just what your dirt jumping son or daughter is doing, here is a great video of some dirt jumping fun.

Here is another dirt jumping video that is pretty good.

Please remember that dirt jumping is more than just jumping a bunch of piles of dirt. It takes a lot of practice, talent and skill to get over the jumps and to execute tricks while doing it. Anyone who says it is just jumping a bunch of piles of dirt, I'd like to see them try it out.
