Cool video mate! Planning on going there sometime in the future as well. :) I hope you enjoyed your trip.

Cool video. I'm not big into biking but I do just like to flow and this is my kind of trail

Dude sweet!

Much appreciated, my young son and I hope to make the trip when he's around 14 so blue and green trail videos are really good to watch. Those lift lines looked crazy, were you there on a weekend or a week day?

Glad you enjoyed the videos. Was there on. Saturday and it was the second to last weekend before it closed for the season. Lift line moves reasonably quickly plus there’s Garbanzo lift further up. Creekside is also supposed to be cool but I haven’t done yet - an excuse to return next year!

I like the name of your channel

Nice Video

Nice video. What is the difference in a downhill bike vs a regular full suspension mtb?

A downhill bike has more suspension travel - around 180-200mm whereas a trail bike has around 140-150 and an enduro bike 150-170. A double-crown fork for extra strength and bigger brakes too. And the cassette is usually 7-speed with smaller cogs to get maximum speed going down - unless every day is a leg day at the gym they’re not the easiest to pedal uphill!

@@TheAverageMTBGuy cool. Thanks for the info. So those double crown forked bikes I see in videos looking like motorcycles with pedals are downhill bikes? Good to know.

All very smooth, groomed and way too easy for your skill level. I suspect you liked your time there but didn't get much satisfaction from your ride ?

Thanks for the honesty Howard. This was simply the first lap of many and mainly a scouting lap for my friend riding with me who is a complete novice. I could’ve left this footage out but it’s a way of showing beginner riders the terrain or perhaps the partners and kids of regular riders that Whistler isn’t all hardcore and they can ride there too. I got a lot of satisfaction from one day in Whistler and my confidence was boosted. Stay tuned, the riding gets better :)
