With all the fun going on, Remember the THIEFS will also be out in full force.
Lock up your bike!
Lock up your bike!
this is one of the biggest events of the mountain bike season. Photogs generally wanna save their best shots to try and sell to mags & companies for ads. Filmers are saving their footage for videos. These guys have to make money; its their livelihood. Traveling to Canada isn't free. And neither is all their equipment.Worst coverage of a major event, ever.
WOW! That's the sickest Slalom I've ever seen!JD on lockdown:
Serpent on the slalom:
It's a tricky balance to achieve.Worst coverage of a major event, ever.
yeah i noticed their bikes in the DS video. they looks so niceSo some pics of the dual, Sam's hardtail looks sweet. Does anybody know which frame they are using or are these custome ones?
gee and rachel....sam was second....it was messy and so awesome, I had so much fun racing today...any word on the garbo DH?
Second that one!!!!!!!!WOW! That's the sickest Slalom I've ever seen!
Sam Hill had a mini off course excursion and then lost his shoe in the mud half way down and had to stop and pull it out of the mud, put it back on and get going again. he got second.
Me too. I crashed twice and my calve muscle is locked right now, but that race was sick.....it was messy and so awesome, I had so much fun racing today...
what does Ironhorse make for a Dual Slalom bike?Hill and Riffle.
Yo F-dawg, one of my fav's of yours this season! Wish I could have been up there to play in the woods
Could possibly be the funniest thing ever written on pinkbike...I mean ridemonkey.as has been said, the magazines are where the cash comes from to fund coverage
yes, gee...whistler does need to host a world cup.....
As mentioned, this is absolutely NOT The case. Magazines don't pay worth crap. If commercial photos didn't sell, you'd barely see any photos from races as no photographers would bother going.It's a tricky balance to achieve.

Ok - didn't mean it in that respect at all (and to be honest I wasn't entirely sure what you were meaning until I re-read what I'd written).As mentioned, this is absolutely NOT The case.

Pretty strange coverage - I wonder what happened... lost a tape or something?Fraser, a 15 min DH and you guys filmed the last 7 seconds??
Nothing like having that FF 12.8 MP sensor eh! Got some good ones in there. Like the 1st mountain shot.If anyone cares...
Here is a gallery of shots from my trip. Let me preface it by saying, I only brought my little 5d and 2 lenses (fisheye and 24-105 zoom), my sensor is dirty as hell, could not be bothered to clean it or fix in PS until someone needs em. Only took about 200 pics the whole time, 100 of em were family crap (zipline, rock climbing, river, bla bla bla) but this gallery is a couple family BS and mostly slalom pics with little variety-I got stuck watching my kid while the wife raced so couldnt get much shooting in.
Party on
Stikman.

I'm pretty sure they did that 3 summers ago. You need to make another trip.Haven't been up there in a while but they armored up my favorite little chute.
Thank god
