- I've heard tons of great things about Whistler's Top Of The World Trail, but with so much quality riding on the mountain is it worth the extra $$ and time? Today, I'm going to find out!!

p.s. I figure this is probably a common question, and I may even make a video about it, but no, you don't need a DH bike for Whistler. That being said, I enjoyed have one greatly as it helped allow me to push the boundaries of my capabilities more readily than I may have on my trail bike. - Розваги
“You see that lake over there?”
*sees 5 lakes*
They get pretty easy to distinguish after living here for awhile
the one hes pointing at is Alta lake
@@MrDerpizoid i think you missed the point.
Dude makes compilations congrats I made it 500 likes
uhmmm actually... those other ones are ponds sir...
When you get the ticket for the top of the world. Be sure you get there before 4 pm. No one tells you this. Not even the guys at the top of the Garbo gondola. The peak chair shuts down at 4. No refund or anything, not complaining as it was completely my fault but hopefully it saves someone the headache as I know I was not the only one who has experienced this.
0:43 who are cooped up inside.
Coronavirus: *Maniacal laughter*
IKR this video just makes me wanna get out there and adventure but im stuck at home, literally going insane... 💀
How’s quarantine going man
Climber tone yeah..
nice profile picture dude
Great profile photo
Man your voiceover work has gotten so good. Production values on this channel are ace dude, nice work.
Thanks dude, been working hard on it!!
I agree 100%
So true
Hes so fucking loud
@@The_Sampler and that work paid off man!
3:20 lets just appreciate the geometric cracks in the rocks
Andrew damn
Ikr
Hahaha I noticed that also :) Probably cuz I'm a geologist haha
What ok damn
Tit0805 oh your a geologist? Name every gas, solid, and liquid
13:08 "I like like to thank everyone for still watching this video because its subscribers like you..."
Me: "uhhh... yeah totally..." *clicks subscribe*
Fax
That was me when i first subed
Lol same
12:40 gotta say thats a good view 😂😂
Haha I was looking for a comment about that 😂😂😂
Sam W. Same 😂😂😂
Eric Inman me three
Me too
Fr 😂😂
Can we take a second to appreciate the guy (around 7:40) who stopped because he heard his buddy yell? I just think that that's amazing that instead of just moving on out of excitement he stopped and was concerned for his biking friend's safety, major respect for being a good person
(Edit-timestamp)
Shirt idea: I sense a disturbance in the Stoke
Geralt of Rivia love it
0:45 "couped up indoors" and if you listen closely, you can hear 2020 laughing faintly in the distance.
Hey Sampler Claus can I have some lumps of stoke in my stocking this year?
Blzt yes I want that too
You mean your stokeing?
"Share the Stoke" would make a killer shirt!
That's an awesome idea!
lol that is the gisborne boardriders (surf) club t shirt
Yes it would
Make it then
I agree. Make some I will buy one or a few.
So glad you included things like the bridge, and showed the other parts of whistler that I personally had never seen before, my overall picture of whistler has now changed.
I hope to get there one day (all the way from Australia)
Before I'm to old 🥴
Btw, I'm stoked with this video dude 🤗
I went to Whistler for the first time this year too. Top of the World wasn't open, but it was still amazing. I went in with high expectations and was still blown away how good it is.
I am declaring a SOS
My local trails suck no matter the weather :(
I live in San bernadino (LA) so I have hulda park and luge park. Their great, but Pacific Palestine is a great one too, but its California so it burned down.
Cedric Ye weekend trips baby!!
Levi and Lava straight outta stoke
Bro my trails are so shit there no mountain bike trails at all in a 40 mile radius of were I'm living I've looked everywhere and it's all walking trails
bass gamer damn, I feel that
Now that winter is coming, come to Florida.
You might even find the mythical Florida man!
@Jimmy Stevens Santos, Alafia, Croom, Boyette all within 2 hours
@@steffenbeck9255 santos in florida better than Whistler
Jimmy Stevens Alafia, Santos,.... the list goes on
Matt now that its winter, you ski or snowboard
He lives!
Your riding has progressed so much since I started watching you. It is evident in the vieo where you are manualling, and pumping everything on a DH bike. Keep the stoke high brother!
🙌
When biking season ends, skiing season starts😍
I can't choose what i like more honestly, Ski Season or Bike Season
ski
bike
@@kiwicami287 live in the southwest, do both in the same day
@@kiwicami287 lol i ride even over ski season. Riding on snow is pretty neat fun tbh.
The beer behind the milk caught me off-guard 😂
Man, Alex is just such a pure soul, what a guy. Hope you’re hanging in there brother, can’t wait to see more from you.
Dude it was a pleasure to watch this and hear about your year-long thoughts! Even moreso awesome that I was lucky enough to get to ride with you briefly in Angwin & then Santa Cruz on our local California trails.. Seeing this is speaking to me to make the trip out here and give the whole Whistler experience a go! Just save up and make it real 🤘🏼 Thanks and hope to shred again! Anything we choose to do next in life can only add even more awesomness in our life-long adventure! Can't wait for what's next!
I'm glad I live in a place where I'm able to ski in the winter, and then immediately go biking before the ski season even ends.
These videos are few and far between, but I can definitely tell why. The production value on this is so good! Awesome job Alex.
The Singletrack Sampler
eats oreos with milk - something is wrong
instead of milk he drinks beer - now it feels right
Great video as always!
That’s really lifted my spirits. Wet UK weather kind of doing my head in. I want to get back out on the bike now!
I was feeling a little down since its full on winter here in Steamboat Colorado and I am missing mtb season already...So i continually watch your videos alongside Seths, Phil's, GMBN, etc and even bought myself an early xmas present which is a full carbon bronson for next season. Thank you for sharing your stoke with us all...the next time you are in Colorado your beard trim is on me at my barbershop...id love to ride with you here. Until then, Live Free 🤙🏼| Ride Hard 👊🏼| Get Stoked 🤘🏼
Soooo hyped for my first trip to Whistler in June! Keep the whis content coming it will help keep the stoke all winter as I wait for the trails to dry out again!
Alex your video was great. I'm so stoked. Am trying to save for Whistler 2020. Please keep the vids coming. You and Seth are phenomenal. I watch alot of UA-cam vids but your guys vids make me feel alive. They are literally the best content on the web. Thank you guys.
I just re-watched the van build playlist and I think the only couple things of the van build needs is new seat covers, you can take the seats to a upholstery shop and they can remove the seat covers that are on there now and restitch ones out of whatever Material you want with any kind of cool designs on it, they can even so your channel name or model on to the headrest and maybe a cool wrap for the outside of the van
Why? That would just make it a target for vandalism and even pushy fans who want to meet the sampler. If he has a wrap the van may also be more recognized, and he wouldn't be able to camp at as many places because it could be mistaken as a camper, which is the exact opposite of what he wants to do.
this is what Passion in life looks like to forget all the things happening around you,
i loveeeee it
Another master piece! Always awesome to see how much you enjoyed that, and how kind you are to share that joy with everyone 🤘🤘 totally worth the wait 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Your editing/ story telling has been incredible the last couple videos. Really went from being just another mtb youtuber to creating your own unique style. Keep it up!
I’m really impressed at how the videos have become mini movies almost trailers for the stuff that’s on Patreon !
I was Soooooo stoked just watching the lift ride up! So happy for you! As a Florida boy that relocated to SoCal I hope to spend a few weeks up there myself next year also.
I love these videos! Especially all the go pro footage and the voiceover! Getting better and better as the videos go on!
What an awesome lap! Top of the world never disappoints, for sure a highlight of the season 🤟
Epic trail made even better with an incredible crew! Thanks for the tow in's and more importantly the laughs :P
@@The_Sampler Paul is the unofficial UA-cam ambassador for Whistler. I think I've watched 50 vids this year with him involved at Whistler in some way or another. If I ever make it on UA-cam, I'm calling The Punter when I go to Whistler. The resort should sponsor him!
“The Singletrack Sampler” takes a whole new meaning here
I’m a new sub and just got into mt biking, and the one thing I love about these is the experience and honesty shared in his times riding. But also just the over all enthusiasm he shows and the how excited he is all the time. It’s awesome!
Oh man, to be young again. I used to mountain bike in the 1990's in Marin County, where the inception of the mountain bike was created to ride on Mt Tam. You will have years of fun, good health, and memories to make.
I've only ever ski'd and shredded Whistler and Blackcomb mountains in the winter so was sweet to see it from a different perspective in the summer. Recognized some of the places on the way down!
That must be one HELL of a bike that Canyon Sender to take that impact at 2:57! Great video kid!
6:01 see that lake over there?
Oh you mean the small one in front?
Wait no its the bigger one to the right, right?
"yeah, that one down there"
*scuse me*
Dude, I got goosebumps when I heard your pure excitement when you came up on the flow section of Top of the World. I was so stoked for you. Epic video. 🤙
Truly and outstanding video showcasing an underexposed part of Whistler. 90% of the MTB crowd will never clear 10% of the stuff on A Line, but most can probably handle this and come away with an EPIC experience! Now we need a tropical bike park destination for the winter months!
Man your awesome I’ve been riding almost every weekend got in my first big crash dislocated my elbow that was fun just a quick pain maybe not quick but you know oh well it’s a right of passage your great love your vids so thanks for being my inspiration also stoke level is probably to much to count it’s so high because hopefully I’ll get a new bike soon mine has seen better days
Hi man love your channel and loved the video!
However I do miss the raw trail vibe you had in your other videos. The way you talked while riding the trail, not much cutting in the scenes etc. It made me really feel like I was there with you riding it.
Were you planning on doing more of these early vibe videos? :)
Thanks for the content!
Hey Victor, I still make some of these videos as a perk for my patreon community while working on these bigger videos. If you want more of those, that's where you get them!
@@The_Sampler Awesome!
It's so easy to blast by the incredible landscape where we get to play, thanks for bringing attention to it back in this video!
Thanks for these videos! After my 5th time mountain biking in Moab I just bought my first full suspension. These videos are definitely more advanced for me but they definitely get me stoked for things I’ll get to try in the future! 🤙
I was feeling it for Tonka on the bridge. I’m not so sure I would have been able to set foot on it.
Man I miss bike park season. Thanks for showing me how to ride Dwayne, it was a great day!
Dude me too!! I was thinking that the entire time editing this... I'd kill to be back there sessioning Dwayne right now!
Viewing your videos and hearing your voice makes me smile everytime! Alex, you are the best!
Bro, now this video is insanely good. I really loved to watch it. I also liked to see your pure happiness from riding this trail. Wish I could be there now. Please keep doing more videos like this.
Open Rocky areas awakens the inner animal in me. Rip my hardtail lol.
"How could you not love mountain biking?" I literally snapped all 4 bones in my forearms in half while doing it
THE REAL PYROMANCING AARDVARK RIP
Did it stop your love for it? Or did it just make it stronger.... I'm presuming the latter :D
Same I literally shattered my wrist like 2 days ago while biking
You just hate the broken body part not the wind in your helmet part
if you snapped them in half how did you type this? Nobody ever lies on the internet, so can you type with your feet?
Hell yes! This made me sooo stoked to ride, especially with hucksgiving just around the corner. This video quality is so good and it inspires me so much with my own youtube videos! Thanks so much 🤘🏼
i gotta say these videos shot up in quality and it shows how hard you’re working. keep it up!!
Here in Colorado my ride season is pretty much over. This gets me stoked for next year. Awesome video Alex!
sorry to barge, planning a Colorado 2020 what would be a great time of the year? Thanks!
Intros had me rolling. hahahah
Another amazing video! Stoked on your new style. Looking forward to more.
We rode TOTW the day after this with dismal conditions and even so it was absolutely epic, but, should've gone when Joe said so lol.
Glad you had an awesome time. I love seeing our southern neighbors enjoying themselves up here.
This is one of those videos that are like “I wanna ride there” not “I wanna ride like that”
"wow what a view!"
Man I can believe you about wanting to look around not at the trail I'm not even watching you ride i'm watching the mountains lol
Love it!!! I am inspired by you a lot!! Keep pumpin great content!!
Duuuude, OUTSTANDING video quality and story telling!! AWESOME job man!!
Where is sampler? Miss the videos man. Merry Christmas Samplerclaus
Submit stoke levels below 👇
If you were on the ride with us, what would your player stats look like? :P
Riding season is never over. Im going to windrock on December 7-8 and thats winter. Btw you should come
I just need to figure out how to wash road salt off my bike in an apartment.

My stoke’s kinda low. If it was colder here I could ride, but the stoke levels going up because I’m planning a trip to Bentonville

Strengths- loves the send
Weaknesses- loves the send
Most likely to- pour a cup of milk and somehow catch his house on fire
Great video man, you really capture the greatness there is in mountain biking and I’m already dreaming about my first trip to whistler. Cheers!
I had some serious shortage of stoke today. Where I live riding season is basically year round, but my confidence had been bruised recently after a bunch of back to back crashes. This morning I watched this video and then got pumped. On my ride I smashed a bunch of my PRs and felt in the zone the whole time. Thanks!
Come to Arizona. The weather is perfect for riding right now!!
Yea, man, just got a bunch of rain which will treat the ground nice for a little bit before it's back to dry and dusty!
@@MatthewBickley Yeah for sure. Thinking National Trail tomorrow.
@@jimborghini2761 I broke my tibia back in September or I would for sure be out this weekend.
@@MatthewBickley Damn dude that sucks. Heal fast man.
@@jimborghini2761 Thanks man, finally able to put some weight on it, now to work on building back the strength :)
“Weaknesses: ignorance” @ my whole life
"That Guy" Lmao. I know so many of them. 'Most likely to get us banned' is a very accurate description.
I dont even ride but I get so stoked watching your videos! Super sweet🤙🏼
Strengths: IGNORANCE
Weaknesses: IGNORANCE
😂😂😂
3rd worlders like myself just bike in the nearby village and meanwhile in 1st world countries people be like
I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now and the production quality just keeps getting better and better! Keep up the good work!
dude your vids made huge improvements. congratulation, i can barely imagine the effort to get them ready. cheers alex ! can't wait for the next one
🙌
He said closed for the summer lmao im pretty sure me meant winter haha
Hey single track sampler wondering if your coming to Florida to ride anytime soon?
yas
plz
Great return Alex! Nice watching your vids again!
Amazing production bro! everything looked and sounded amazing! Best shots I've seen all year good job man seriously good job! Is this how all your videos are going to be now?
You're still making videos!?!?!
These people that mountain bike and don’t ski are depressing
Schwein777-300er ikr like whistler has such amazing skiing!
It’s been a while since I have seen some of your videos and now they are so high quality. Your narration is so cohesive and really meshes all the riding and whatnot together. I’d compare this to how they make us write speeches in school. This is quality stuff man.
That like a dream day of riding n just chilling out
ROMANS 1:20
“For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made,
even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable.”
This isn't about your imaginary friend.
Alex, here is some tough love...….we'd like a return on our investment. We've bought shirts, merch, super-chats & religiously clicked the Thumbs Up so "WE" could buy you a new VAN to help YOU produce more content. Pain's me to write this, b/c the whole family loves you.....but you need to "Stoke" the Fires under your butt!!!! Love all that you DO & Have Done......….But, you could take a lesson from Brian/Seth in business 101....Your investors are starving for a return on their investment~! (perhaps a new years resolution ;-)
Dude, I found you on here because of Seth & am loving your vids a lot. I've just taken up mtb riding again in the last few years now in my early 40's & while my skills are lame to say the least, vids like yours make me wanna develop into a much better rider. Thanks heaps & sending lotsa stoke your way from Melbourne Australia!
I've skiied Whistler since I was six, usually 5-10 times a winter, often just for the day (As a skiier, living in Vancouver is only beat by living in the alps). I love those two mountains, and know 'em like the back of my hand. The views from the peak are spectacular. And what you guys did was what we skiers call the "Peak to Creek". Prolly one of the best runs on the mountain. Good to see it also holds up on a bike XD
9:18, 9:25 and 9:37
The purest form of stoke
This video is so epic! I got so stoked while watching this keep making vids they are awesome! 🚵♂️
I haven't mountain biked since I was younger and finding your channel and this being the first vid I saw, awoke something in me. I really need to get a bike again :D awesome vid!
Fantastic video, great storytelling, great music selection. Thank you for making this video, it's great!
Another great video Alex! Thanks for sharing the stoke
Dude this video is your best work. I have seen it 6 times and i stil enjoying it!🙏🤘😁😁🔥
awesome vid!! as always haha I love the way you edit your videos
watching you have the time of your life on that trail was a blast! thanks for sharing :)
such good storytelling in your videos preciate the extra work you put in! feel like im right there with you
Sampler your videos are easily the best on UA-cam!! So well done, really Professional. We just need more of them!!
Definitely worth the wait, thanks for the sick tour!
Whistler is the best place I’ve ever been and will ever be. In winter with snow the skiing is absolutely amazing
