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.
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.
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.
