I've never related to a rider more than when you said "jump skills required, then it's probably not good for me then...." and you still go on it. Respect.
Thanks for the kind words! I wish I could send it like I can in my mind but reality is unfortunately more realistic. Following someone who knows the trail may have made that a little more successful. In theory.
Everyone who seen this video...Come back and ride Bike Big White in 2020. There is a 3.5km machine built freeride trail that opened in August 2019, a blue tech trail that is going to be extended to offer top to bottom blue tech, and a green machine built freeride under construction set to open mid summer 2020.
Used to snowboard there all winter for years. Cool to see how its transformed into a bike park and where they formed trails etc. Hopefully i can make it out that way again to ride the bike.
Trail Flavor It's rad there would definitely recommend. There was some Double Black stuff not featured in this video. I just did super cautious roll through to check them out and actually had to dismount the bike a few times. I found their single Black pretty difficult.
i don't know much about this stuff, but the way you just pop your bike on that lift and it just sits there with nothing holding it down or strapped in seems like one bump or big gust of wind from your bike falling to its death.
BrandonPrive1432 That method was actually pretty legit. At Whistler you hang your front tire off a hook that looks like it should have a hat hanging on it as your bike swings back and fourth in the wind. Your bike is not going fall off. But you start to wonder if the last mechanic put your fork back together properly and if there will just be a tire on the hook/bracket when you get to the top.
Actually the bike carriers are designed by the engineers that provide the carriers from the lift manufacturers. The bike carriers go through a very technical inspection prior to licencing for each lift installation. Nothing will fall off. And nothing will happen to your bike. The vertical load of bikes is actually way easier then the standard horizontal tray systems used often. The vertical systems have one maneuver to set your front tire into the support cradle. Where the horizontal trays have 3: Front tire must go over back cradle, then front tire must sit into front cradle, and finally back tire sits into back cradle. 3 chances for miss loading as apposed to the vertical systems.

Thanks for the video!
I said the same thing on rock hammer at the chute when you said "ahh what the hell most difficult" Was more than i was expecting haha

For once, someone's got their chest mount at an angle where I'm not just staring at their front wheel. Good footage!
Prime unicycling territory
You're under playing yourself bro you can definitely hit those ! (12 min or so)
Joshua Carnell I would like to think that is true. But... I have cased every jump on A-Line in the same run before.
@@ThisIsGoingDownhill past is the past man, get comfortable gassing into them and overcoming your fear small, then bring it to the big ones
Super bike park 👍😎

@@ThisIsGoingDownhill could you imagine, you get to the top and theres just your tire sitting there, lol, im sure its happened
@@ThisIsGoingDownhill I agree, the hooks on the end at Whistler are Jank. RIP solo riders
