Whistler Bike Park Opening Weekend 2024

Спорт

It's my first ever Whistmas!
Nursing a shoulder injury, I rode rather cautiously but had a great time at the opening day of Whistler Bike Park for the 2024 season.

    This is the first one of your videos that I have seen and found it amazing to watch, this is content I'd expect to see with 100k subscribers. Keep it up!

    Thanks Sam, that’s nice to hear. A new GoPro with good settings and good audio has made most of the difference. That said this took way too long to make due to the file size so I may have to try shooting in 4k instead of 5.3k and see if my computer can handle it a bit better

    I’ve been running the onyx sc and jade x for a couple years now. I’ve only got incredible things to say about them but they are both custom tuned from Jesse at DVO New Zealand for the taniwha’s kinematics, my weight, and riding style, and then the tune is matched on the fork too, so it rides incredible. I also just got them both serviced here in Vancouver so I’m loving life right now😂 The coil off the top into an air spring gives frankly unmatched (to any air fork) small bump sensitivity and the rest is smooth as butter and ramps up wonderfully.

    I've been watching all the Whismas content I can until I get can up for my first day of the season and who do I see halfway through but Alex from Archibald? I was doing a demo ride with him a few hours earlier that morning in North Van. Got my order in, can't wait for my bike to arrive! Cool that you were able to meet up with the whole crew and were already aware of the brand.

    Haha that's hectic. Yeah he didn't show up till later in the day. Thats awesome that you got to ride one. Yeah my next bike will be a Zerode katipo or an Archibald. Done love mullet through which sucks. Also waiting until he goes belt drive. No way I'm going chain again. Too many disadvantages over a belt drive.
