Alex Chisholme had only one wish regarding Whitehorse's bike park - that it had gotten here sooner.
The 19-year-old entered the pro category of the Goat Style Bike Jam held in Creston, BC, in July, and said that, while he failed to reach the final round, the experience of riding alongside the pros was worth the trip.
Growing up in Whitehorse, Chisholme was just one of the riders looking to reach that next level.
"For me, when I was in a prime age, trying to find jumps, there wasn't that much at that time," he said.
"I enjoyed the park last year, it was good, I rode these dirt jumps a lot, and it was nice to finally see a rhythm section in town, because most of the jumps that I'd ridden previously were just one-hits, and then you go back and hit one jump and come back again."
