    Thank you to everyone that voted in this month's poll. Most of you asked for one long Whistler video, but I found that it was taking way too long to edit that much footage, so you get the next best thing - two videos! Watch for part two next week.

      @WolfPack Same here. Sadly I'm too fat to ride a bike and being nearly 33 and almost 400lbs. I couldn't imagine ever being healthy enough to do this. But I watch anyways and it gets me really excited and I feel like I'm there. Helps a lot with my depression.

      @@mizomint4197 my heart goes out to you my friend, it's a tough place to be, when I was younger I was around 300lbs and it was hard. Ultimately I got lucky and found a thing that I really liked to do, it was actually Dance dance revolution haha, but I played the hell out of it, made it a goal to work towards improving at and before too long things started to improve. Biking is one of those incredible sports that works for me now for the same reasons DDR did for me then, it's because it's only ever you and the bike. You against yourself. No need to compare yourself to others, just go on your own journey. It can be brutally hard, but if you have the drive to get better it stops being about exercise and weight loss and starts being about doing a thing you love! You gotta live your life! Whether that's on or off the bike is up to you, but know that there is no more supportive community and the experiences riding a bike can provide for you are unlike anything else. Much love!

      I am curious I don't know if you will respond or not but what equipment do you take with you? (Other than your bike of course) First aid kit? Gun? Knife? Sandwich? Cocaine? Those last two were a joke but still very curious.

    Watched a load of Whistler videos, recognized/knew 3 of the trails in your video, good job showing all the other stuff besides all the big, bermed out stuff you usually see, gives me some hope if I ever venture there. 100% agree with you, not a fan of trails like A-Line etc, big, bermed out stuff with high speed and big jumps, much prefer slow(er), more tech.

    Lot's of great Whistler Bike Park videos getting posted lately. Some of them have literally been frightening in terms of the risk that riders are taking. WBP rewards hard-charging riders with more laps, so I get it. That said, great to see you keeping it sane Dave. You're finessing stuff that other riders avoid or bludgeon at speed. As for the big air some riders are getting, consider these sage words from Whistler legend Jim McKonkey: "You want big air? Pull my finger."

  • @jadethest0ne

    When you talked about not being able to make jumps on the A-line and preferring the janky trails - I gotta say I actually love the videos that you take on the weird, technical, off-beat trails. I don't know much about this sport, but I love your videos. And the paths you take are a really cool part of them!

    Great video like always! And those jumps on A-line were pretty good! I also like seeing you go through some of the less common lines that you don’t really see other UA-camr’s take. Most of the lines you rode in this video I never heard of before! Much less seen before! So thanks for that bro!

    It's ok Dave, I for one don't care about your A-Line performance. If I wanted to watch someone clearing A-Line (yawn), every other UA-camr and their mother has made half a dozen videos of it already. We watch you for your particular skillset and riding style, which is unique among any other UA-camr I've found, and in my opinion is far more interesting. Here's to another season of slippery Northshore skinnies!

    No offence to your riding partner Nic (whose channel I also subscribe to!), but I like that you guys rode a lot of non-jump trails! and I suspect those trail decisions had a lot to do with your once a year visit! Having never been, and seeing so much A-line stuff from the bike park, I wasn’t sure that there was much other than jump trails. Nice to see there is!

    It's funny, watching your line choices, knowing "GoPro Effect" is a thing. It's like you're thinking, "I don't wanna drop wy wheel into THAT hole, but that other, equally sketchy hole looks good", or, "Nope! not that rooty, off-camber section, I'll try THAT rooty, off-camber section"!
