Mitch Chubey Update
The AIRprentice is slaying it on Drop In

Living with a bunch of stinky mountain bikers isn't a solid proposition.  Put them on a delapidated Calgary city bus and you are asking for trouble.  Remarkably everything seems to be going extremely well for Mitch Chubey, our AIRprentice winner for 2007, and the rest of the Drop In crew.  Dylan Tremblay and Jamie Goldman are on injured reserve but other riders have filled their spots for now.

Not only is Mitch fitting in with the other smelly dirtbags, he's adding some hefty tricks to his bag.  Before leaving Whistler Mitch was tossing it into the foam pit when Romo offhandedly told him to try a flip whip.  He hadn't even landed a straight flip to dirt at that point. Not one to back away from a challenge Mitch stepped up and came pretty close first time out.  Soon he was landing them to pedals under the foam dome. There isn't any foam on the Drop In agenda so it was time to step it up.

First this happened on mulch.

 

And it was time to try it on dirt.
 



Mike Reid's sick shot of Mitch's first flip whip to dirt.  He nailed it on his first attempt.


Roll here to see the first two Webisodes of Drop In season 5.

And here to get an update on where the bus is and what's going down.

We're thinking that Mitch just might have what it takes.  What do you think?
