Our On-the-Ground Recap + Jump Jam Thrills
Curious if Calgary's premier outdoor event lives up to the buzz? We dove in at the BMO Centre to find out—and yes, it's packed with inspiration for your next adventure!
The show floor was alive with the newest camping gear: innovative tents, compact stoves, and setups perfect for Alberta weekends. We loved chatting with vendors who demoed everything hands-on. Hidden among the big booths? Local Alberta treasures—off-the-beaten-path trails, secret spots, and insider travel tips that make exploring our province even better.
But the real adrenaline hit? The Jump Jam in the Alberta Bike Show / Thrill Mountain zone. We grabbed front-row views and filmed the action in epic slow-motion (down to 40% speed). Watch clean jumps, flawless landings, and one unforgettable wipeout—everyone walked away fine, but the crowd went wild!
Practical perks: Tickets around $15 (tax in), kids under 11 free, and parking at Stampede Park about $18. It runs Saturday 10 AM–6 PM and Sunday 10 AM–5 PM—plenty of time to browse, learn, and get motivated.We left buzzing with ideas for gear upgrades and new destinations. If you're into camping, hiking, biking, or just outdoor vibes, this is a must-do.
