I'd heard a lot of work has been done in there in the last year or so. I haven't ridden it in over a year, so will have to get up there to check it out again.Roasted said:Train wreck. Pretty wicked trail.

Definately. Same with River. Both have tonnes of new stuff. Train is still considered a blue trail but if you hit ANY of the big stuff that obviously isn't true. Lots of money being dumped in the valley this year.CraigH said:I'd heard a lot of work has been done in there in the last year or so.

According to the guys who watched me do it I was the best they'd seen, apparantly I managed to keep the wheels on the rock. Which was niceKanter said:The manager was nuts. I did it once and that was enough. Everyone that did it had their rear tire come off the ground an inch or two. I rolled it with no brakes and went waaay to fast into the small drop afterwards and slid out on the rocks.
werd...my next trip I'm not even gonna touch Whistler. All Shore. That or Golden/Nelson.Kanter said:I still think the North Shore was the sheeeet.
rolling that thing looks sketch. i manual off the top - if you dont go too fast you land on the tranny & its pretty smooth, & you avoid doing a nose manny down the steep part.- seb said:According to the guys who watched me do it I was the best they'd seen, apparantly I managed to keep the wheels on the rock.

ya...isn't Goat's Gully on "Original Sin"? Right after that big hipper?- seb said:Except it's on "No Joke", not "Goat's Gully".
TBH I've no idea where the splits are since I never stopped to look at the signs, but yep, Original Sin -> Goats Gulley -> In Deep.Acadian said:ya...isn't Goat's Gully on "Original Sin"? Right after that big hipper?
I love that section as well. I think the fact that it's so narrow makes it feel like you are going faster than you are. There is a shortcut some people take past the first corner so if I'm riding with friends and one of them tries to shortcut around me I'll just keep it pinned through those first few corners to make sure I stay ahead of them and every time I feel like I am just flying through there, pinballing my way through sometimes smacking my shoulders off of trees and using that to help me hold the line through the corner- seb said:Addendum for people who know Whistler:
My favourite section on the hillside is (rather embarrassingly) the first 4 corners of Hornet. I swear I could hit that as fast as any pro racer, certainly felt that way - what an ego boost I got whenever I rode that bit
I also dig that section...so much fun!crashing_sux said:sometimes smacking my shoulders off of trees and using that to help me hold the line through the corner
snowshoe and diablo, both will not disapoint- seb said:It was cool, but if I go again I need to sort out some van hire and do Squamish, Pemberton, Williams Lake, North Shore, whatever else is around. I thought I might do east coast next year, though aside from Plattekill I don't know what else there is.
I know this is an old thread - we're at Whistler right now and can't seem to find "The Manager" on any of the trails. Anyone know where it's at?Acadian said:another
Thanks man - we'll check it out today.PoserNewbie said:"The manager" is on the left just when you start riding into duffman. Just remember to go slooooowww.

Does anyone else think the food at Longhorn is crap? The chicken wrap was quite nice, but their "fries" are mank. If I want wedges I'll ask for wedges! Fries should be fries.
