Hey guys..just got back from Whislter yesterday...it was fantastic...something very different to riding in Australia...that place is wicked!!! I think my riding has improved a fair bit...well...maybe i can jump better...but i did try and follow Rennie when No joke and Freight Train merged together...Rennie came out of No joke..and he was like go ahead..i was like..no way buddy!!! so i tried to follow him but of course....he lost me in about 500m..lol...but yeah...awesome riding there...every mtber should go there at least once in their lifetime....

i didnt get any pics..and only got like 1 min worth of vid becasue my friend broke his back on the 2nd day, which was very unfortunate..but hes recovering very quicklky now...and doing physio...so yes...no amazing pics or amzing videos...just a small clip...hope you guys enjoy it...

Looks like they have done a lot to A-line. It was nothing but bumps and holes a few weeks ago.

I love that trail. Last year, I wasn't able to clear that really long/low tabletop. Maybe I can this year. I need to hit that a line drop too. Last year, I was dropping in/rolling on the left side.

This year:
-hit aline drop
-hit big glc drop
-do a run with tabletops on every hit on a-line (maybe I will be really good at them after one run:D)

was ^^^ this even necessary did it make you feel better to say this. I have found that if you represent yourself well you can get sponsored. It doesn't matter how good you are at biking as long as you are dedicated to the sport. I havn't been riding that long and my sponsores know that im not that good at riding yet. I do represent thier company to the best of my ability as being a great company with great products.

I've seen a few people ride hardtails. They would be fun on jump trails like A-line and Dirt Merchant. A full suspension seems like much more fun on the rough trails. That is the reason I rented a FS ( I only had a hardtail).

Newbie question...and not reffering to me.......but on that kindof track, could you run a hardtail? Or would it just be broken:o:

yeah dude you can ride a hardtail, i rode one last summer in whistler, it was pretty rough and full suspension is much smoother at a place like whistler, but on trails like a-line, its fine as long as your not casing every jump

Fun how to see you hitting thing differently than I do. On the last two jumps on A-line I fist the bars of the the third jump, launch the long one to catch speed to jump from left to right with a whip.
