Brett Tippie to Headline Langford Bikefest as M.C.
"The Langford Bikefest is pleased to announce that Brett Tippie will be announcing the 'Live Like Jordie' enduro on July 2 and the Red Bull Pump Track World Championship Qualifier on July 3. Brett Tippie is best known as one of the original founders of the MTB freeride movement and for announcing world class events such as Crankworx, Red Bull Rampage, BC Bike Race, and many others.
As a close friend of the late Jordie Lunn, the decision to be on hand to announce the Langford Bikefest at the Jordie Lunn Bike Park is a significant one for Tippie. "I am honoured to be a part of the Langford Bikefest announcing at the Live Like Jordie Enduro and Red Bull UCI Pump Track WC Qualifier! Jordie was a good buddy of mine and I have many bicycle friends from the Island. There is no better way to celebrate the legacy of Jordie and mountain biking, than to have an awesome event that promotes riding to our youth. Live like Jordie!
