Skippers Canyon Style Contest

Throughout this summer, our staff at Vertigo have been having a little in house competition to achieve the best style over the first little roller on the Skippers Canyon pack track. Everytime we have a guided trip into Skippers we endeavour to get the camera out and try and puch the boundaries of what is possible over the 1 foot tall jump.
A few talented athletes have tried to give it their best shot, including some of Queenstown's best dirt jumpers. But at the end of the day it all came down to the natural style and skill of our most experienced Skippers Canyon guide, Simon "Ginge" Smith.
Check out the photos below, but only one man shines through time and time again, and it is Ginge. An immense display of aerial acrobatics on a bike saw him pull out some amazing "mech checks" and to top it all of a big lazy no footer. As if pulling these tricks was not hard and risky enough, he manages to look at the camera and laugh in the face of the rest of the competition. So I give you Si "Ginge" Smith, the Style King of Skippers.
