No man you have to commit. Blue Mountain decided not to do a chicken line because it may become to difficult to choose the right line at high speeds. I saw a guy hit it at the race and his front wheel touched down first... Gawd I thought the poor guy was going to go right over the bars. Scary shit
is it just me or is that like twice as big as the dirt merchant rock drop??!! f*ck that shit dude! its and understatement saying "feature" should say "pro line" like at whistler..
Incredibly pathetic after riding Whistler.
I don't even go to Blue Mountain anymore. I just go in the summer for 3 days with my best buddies and we just fuck around the town screwing around on our bikes and tear up whatever trails they have. At least they're like 3 mins long. Shit features but not bad trails.
it really isn't blue's fault. some poor kid died there hitting a decent sized rock drop, probably because he was inexperienced. anyway's, the kids selfish parents sued blue mountain trying to profit from their son's death. they suceeded and for blue to remain open, they had to remove most of their features, (even shut down runs like autobahn) for them to remain open. also, as you can see, warn for everything coming that could be classified as a "feature". blue is still a lot of fun, even if it isn't anything compared to what whistler or bromont has. it is, unfortunately, the largest "mountain" in ontario, and from what i have been told more features should be in for next season
If by mountain you mean a peak groomed and modified for riding by man. If you look at a geological map there's higher peaks not far north. Just harder to get to.
when i said mountain, i was being sarcastic. thats why i put quotation marks around it. and i also meant that blue is the largest resort, therefore more runs there than anywhere else in ontario.
Blue Mountain is lame now that they tore out all the goods. They only thing getting bigger and better there is the lodging!! More visitors than Whistler/Blackcomb....unreal.
man that jumps so nutssss i bar turned that in my sponcor vid and now im invited to crankworx next year crazzyy stuff on this trail, me and nwd are filming it all next weeekk
Its what Blue Mountain calls a "FEATURE" now. Its kinda silly if you know the whole story really. Blue removed the "stunts" to slow the riders down. And placed these little things all over the place. In all reality the trails are fast as f*ck and if you are only going to rip then its a great time.
Only problem is there is really no point to having a big stupid 8-9 inch bike in Ontario anymore if you can't get out to ride it in places like Bromont or st anne.
I would just like to personally thank blue mountain for killing big bike DH in Ontario. Much too worried about getting sued.
Its sad really. Oh and the village? Don't even get me started on that. We worked it out and its actually cheaper to drive to quebec for the weekend then it is to stay at blue. Better runs, cheaper hotels, and you don't pay $18.00 for a god damn salad st Skool ( not even kidding )
they have to have them for insurance, every time they add in a man made feature. they got better this year with putting jumps and features back in at least. the only annoying thing about the signs is that you see them so you slow down, and it will either be a little bump like this or a steep technical section.
