This week marks two years since the passing of Jordie Lunn at the age of 36. The racer-turned-freerider passed away after a crash while trail riding in Mexico on October 9th, 2019. He was riding in Cabo San Lucas with his friends Darren Berrecloth, Brayden Barrett-Hay, and Greg Watts.
From landing
the first-ever 360 flip on 26" wheels, to competing at Rampage, to his mindblowing Rough AF edit series, Jordie was at the forefront of freeride mountain biking for more than a decade. His legacy will live on through the
Memorial Bike Park founded in his name in his hometown of Langford that opened earlier this year to help develop more mountain biking talent. Jordie's friendliness, gentle nature, and exuberance for life will be remembered by the entire mountain bike community and we count ourselves lucky to have known him. Here are some of our favourite photos from his incredible riding career.
Rest in peace Jordie, we miss you.

I was so sad to learn about his passing, I feel so lucky to have gotten the chance to meet him!
It is… but it isn’t how it was when it was first built. It had a really sick big line originally, but it’s much smaller now. Better for kids I guess.
It should come up if you search for it on google, Cleasby Bike Park, it’s right at the bottom of Cobble Hill Mountain.
