Never too early for... WHISTLER 2005!!!!!!

chicodude · Apr 4, 2005

I'd love too, but I will be lucky if I make it to N* more than twice this year....

Yeti DHer · Apr 4, 2005

You better be there when I'm there.... July 10-20

Raacerx · Apr 4, 2005

Im there. Dont know when, but Ill be there. Crankworx festival was a blast last year and the trails weren't nearly as crowded as one might expect.

But if you decide to get your shock rebuilt by Fox when your up there and they break it while doing so, dont expect them to replace it or help you out. Expect them to completely deny that you were ever even in Whistler and try to make you pay $120 for a mistake they made.

I'm going to be there 5th thru the 12th.

No discounts on multi-day tickets this year it seems. :eviltongu

Beyr · Apr 4, 2005

I will be there July 6-8. Good thing I convinced my parents to go on a family vacation to Whistler

I looked at your site Bushwacker and saw your Whistler countdown timer. I thought about putting one on my desktop, but figured it would make the wait less painfull if I wasn't reminded about it everyday. 3 more months!!!

surfinguru · Apr 4, 2005

Scott (goin'medium), Shane (non-monkey) and myself will be there from July 3-6. Then we're off to Squamish from July 7-9.

It'll be my frist trip up there and I can't wait!!

punkassean · Apr 4, 2005

I have been hoping to go in early to mid july because that always seems to be the time when most of my friends from all over are up there. However if I do make it up there this year I'd like to wait until freight train is open which won't be until later I believe...

Beyr · Apr 4, 2005

Last word was freight train was opening July first, I sure hope so. I'm also quite intrigued by this

Jump Farm

Whistler Blackcomb introduces the world's first lift accessed Dirt Jump facility. The Platter lift at mid-station on Whistler Mountain is like a conveyer belt for you and your bike, making it effortless to access more jumps in less time. The Jump Farm is professionally designed by John Cowan, one of the best dirt jumpers in the world.

40-50 hits, long sets of rhythm flow and full progressions from small tables to huge gaps will add a new level of fun to the Park.

Makes we want to bring both the big bike and the dirt jump bike :think:

Raacerx · Apr 4, 2005

wow, so everyone is going beginning of July? Maybe ill shoot for that too. What Nationals are happening around then? Should get some people in on a big house or something.

Alright. Who is going to be up there this summer? Yeti (aka chris or triple 8)? Sean? Ben? Me and a buddy are planning on flying up there mid to later July and it'd be cool to meet people from RM like I did last year. Hopefully you guys will be up there at around the same time... if not, I may change my schedule around so I can be up there when you guys are!

So... who is going to be in DH heaven and when this summer?

Thanks for reminding about wistler ass hole, jest what I want to hear. wanna fight

punkassean · Apr 4, 2005

Can someone confirm when freight train is opening?

I am broooooke but if some of us SC heads carpool and room up we can save dough. I can get sick condos in the village for cheap I just need some advanced notice. I can't drive though this year...

Beyr · Apr 4, 2005

Looks like July 1st.

Btw, Whistler Bike Park is sponsered by nintendo

Yeti DHer · Apr 4, 2005

How's the progress of the blasting? Could they work during the summer? Anyways, I just can't wait. It's going to be another great trip...

Monsta Tee, You coming? 777 will be there for 3 weeks!

Sean I am soooo in if you guys get a carpool together.. I definitly don't have the cash this year to fly... last year I just went with the family but it won't go this year...

Talk to me here, I NEED whistler this year :heart:

punkassean · Apr 4, 2005

Doodster I hear u. I want to make it happen but my truck will be getting serious work done starting July 1st and my funds are tapped. If we can do it on the chizeap then it's awn yo.

I can get sick 2-story 2br/2 bath condos with laundry and kitchen under $100 US per night. 8 or so people can sleep there easy. That's practically free.

jmeperu · Apr 4, 2005

im goin up the 24th of july adn ill be there thru the 6th of july two weeks baby. last year i broke my foot on the first day and rode on it 8days later. then i snapped my RM7 in half. bad luck. the year befor my other RM7 got stolen. 3rd times the charm tho. i hope

calskierx · Apr 4, 2005

I almost feel rude for trying to get in on this but i want to go to , Id pay my way for gas to carpool and hopefuly i wont be a stranger by july, i ride N* all the time so im sure ill meet all you guys sometime.

sapdesigns · Apr 5, 2005

I've been wanting to do the drive for a while now. I'm planning on going the week of 4th July. Carpool might be a possibility.

punkassean · Apr 5, 2005

I don't know about that time estimate man. Last year I left at about 8 or 8:30am and drove about 70-80. I picked up a buddy in south Oregon and then again Portland. The Portland stop took about an hour all said and done. Then we drove all the way to north Seattle that night by 10pm. From Seattle to Whislter is only another 3-4 hours tops so we could have gotten in at no later than 2am if we drove straight through. Keep in mind my truck gets only ~180-200 miles per tank loaded down with 6 bikes and gear so we were stopping for gas often.

If you left at 6am and maintained 70-75mph you can do by no later midnight. The drive is 1100 miles from SC, if you drove straight through w/o stopping at 75mph it would take 14-3/4 hours, if you stop for food and gas a few times add a few more hours and say 18 hours max. It's really a mellow drive all-in-all...

Yo chris 888 triple eight yeti: I was planning for about july 20th, but I will leave earlier then. I'll meet up with you and ride and to drink beer. How is 777 doing anyway?? Also, I sold my frame, but not my fork :love: I need a frame now!!!

As for people driving there: if you leave the bay area at about 630 AM, drive about 75 MPH all the way up to whistler, you will get to whistler at approximately 1230 AM the next day, about 1027 miles later. I know this fromt experience

But yeah, my buddy and I were gonna fly up there, but I guess if enough people wanna carpool we could do that too.

Loren: it's your fault you're going to israel instead of whistler, retard.

777 is doing good I think. I haven't talked to him in awhile. I think he's a bmxer now but he will be in whistler in june-july for 3 weeks. That bastard. I'm driving up with 2 friends from here... What frame are you getting?

Raacerx · Apr 5, 2005

well my schedule is free beginning of July and I have the cash saved up, so sounds like Im going then too. Probably 2 weeks. We drove last year and cant remember exactly how long it took but it wasnt bad, especially with a 17" widescreen laptop up front. Only one speeding ticket around Redding. I got the 3am to 8am shift which sucked ass. Maybe Ian wants to drive again in the Safari? That thing is spacious!

I don't think I can ever take a comment like that from you seriously after seeing you in spandex and pink braces at GGG...

And yes, that would be a funny scene.

Anyone know how much it was to stay in the village per night last year? I satyed way up at the residence in last year, and I don't wanna have to go that far to ride. So what'd places in the village cost?

we got a bad ass pad in the village for 90 canadian a nite...it actually came out super sick cuz they upgraded us to a 3 bedroom condo when our shower started leaking...

Spunger · Apr 7, 2005

Driving just takes along time. And with gas prices being so high it doesn't help. Only drive if you have multiple people going OR you end up driving a van or something you can sleep in once in Whistler.

Everythings cheaper up there unless our dollar goes to crap (seems like it has in other currency's).

Hell I'd have to get new tires as I don't want to take a 2500+ mile trip on super swampers. LOL that alone is reason enough for me to fly. I can put off getting tires

I'd like to go this year if possible. I dunno about spending 2 weeks up there but I'd want to spend as much time as possible going that distance to ride my bike.

Never too early for... WHISTLER 2005!!!!!!
