so anyone got whistler stories or something....ran in to a bear....broke a bone....man this thread is bombing
i overshot a table haulin down aline and was out for a minute and a half, had a bruised sternum, sprained wrist and a 3/5 concussion. then i sat out for a day and then rode the day after. it was SICK. i dont rly remember it tho, ahahaha
i did the exact same thing, sorta overshot a jump on a-line, bottomed out my 3 inch travel and broke my finger. it was pretty awesome to go down that hard and only break a finger....its sucked though cause i was out for like, 6 weeks
i did the same thing as you, overshot on a-line *blah blah*.. unconcious for a minute. ride to the bottom, drink some water, catch the lift my only day ever at whistler, no way am i missing out on it!
is it worth going to whistler alone and for just the day?
YES it is very easy to get someone to kinda show you where some sick trails are.
yeah me and my cousin went up and met a whole bunch of people and rode with them for the day. then i broke my finger later on and my cousin rode alone the next day, and met some other guy as well....they are really nice up there and they can give you a lot of info about the trails
Yeah, day trips are totally worth it. Even if you're going alone. I've ridden alone a few times, and there's always somebody else alone that you can tag along with or whatever. Riding is riding, alone or not, and there's no better place to ride than Whistler!!
I LOVE Angry Pirate. That is such a sweet trail, and then you can either hit the GLC's or head over to Heart of Darkness, just an amazing line either way!

i know i've ridden that trail but i totaly forget what that trail was like my favorite trails were crank it up for speeed and fun, dirt merchant, and a-line for tricks, then world class downhill (i think thats what its called, i forget) for the techyness
Ah, I love crank it up too! It's really a pretty easy run, but it's fast, flowy, and there are some cool little stunts and jumps. Just a good run, I could probably ride that all day and be happy. 1 more week until it's open!!

yeah thats why crank it up is soo much fun, have you ridden the new extended version of it?
Yeah, I hit it a few times at the end of last season. I have to say, I wasn't overly impressed with the lower half, it was kinda boring compared to the rest. But the huge built 180 degree brige was freakin impressive! Still a good run nonetheless. I just usually skip the lower half and hit whatever else on the way down...

yeah, gotta love the trail still. its got berms, jumps, bridges, wallrides, single track stuff, drops and so on i usually go from crank it up, to lower a-line, thats always fun
