not sayin you didn't. just sayin that most people only bring 1 or maybe 2 bikes w/ them when they travel. & when the option of a "typically" secure trailer to keep your bikes in is available, would you rather carry all of your bikes around w/ you every where you go? condo's can get broken into easily too.

I absolutely carry my bikes everywhere I go outside my condo. I don't go into restaurants unless they let me bring the thing in.

You and I both know 10 seconds with a bolt cutter breaks into a trailer sitting off by itself at night. A room with other people around is definitely more secure. I know whistler's history with theft and I do everything I can to prevent my own story. And there's no way in hell I'd leave a bike outside in a trailer in that place.



While I'm here, luc brought this up. We're going to whistler in a few weeks. Luc's bike looks JUST LIKE SAM HILL'S. If you see a skinny guy with a green sunday and boxxer WC complaining about getting his bike muddy in a funny french accent, PLEASE DO NOT KILL HIM. He's freindly.

 

[PatBranch]

^^ You seem to know a lot about this kind of stuff .

 

[SXtrailrider]

hey i have a question do most hotels in whistler let you bring your bike inside?

 

[zmtber]

its like bringing your young kid to Disneyland and taking your eyes off of him for one second. My young cousin about 9 now, went there with my ant a few years ago and well...when my ant realized he had left here she went direct to security, they rushed here into a room with monitors watching over the hole park and they told her "find your kid on one of these screens, but remember your kid probably has different clothes on and a wig or new hair cut" (this was only a few minutes, 2-3 after my ant realized my cousin wasn't with here). So alarmed she looked through the screen and sure enough there was a man holding his arm and walking outside of the park and the kid (my cousin) now had a different hair cut and complete different clothes on. She says it was the scariest thing in her life, now the kid has trouble leaving the house with my ants okay.

 

[Bicyclist]

No, but do it anyways. Sneak it in by taking the wheels off and having people carry pieces of it.

 

[PatBranch]

They do not. You will have to go in a back door with the bikes. Just make sure you clean any mud off with the pressure washers by the lift.

 

[SXtrailrider]

Im going to the camp anyone else been to whistler for the SGC camp and know what they do with bikes? maybe they have a special deal with the hotel to let the campers ( me ) bring my bike in. I will give Andrew Sandro a call my friend got his cell phone number it helps to get your answers quickly from the source.

 

[PatBranch]

I think you get your own hotel room. Just put your bike in your room anyway. Then you can be very sure it's safe.

[zmtber]

yeah who ever gives that number out is an extreme idiot

Whoever posts crap like that is an idiot.

I can just see the conversation now...

"ZOMG GUYS I GOT ANDREW SHANDRO'S NUMEBR#@!*(Y%!(#@^%!()!1111oneoneone! I SHOULD CALL AND TELL HIM I'M GOING TO SUMMER GHEY CAMP!!@*%!(1111"

 

[ShredsTheGNAR]

when at the SGC all bikes are stored in a hotel room that can only be accessed by coaches.

 

[V-Dub GTI]

Whaaaa??? Spend that money on bikes, son.

my dad bought it. but then he also bought me a downhill bike, i've got a cool dad...

 

[blt2ride]

I would imagine that it may be over the top to have proof, since alot of people don't keep reciptes and it could have been a used bike, unless they are tracked by serial number.

I would also imagine they have spare bikes, possibly.

I believe a lot of pros' bikes are stamped with their names under the bottom bracket shell (where most bikes have the serial number). I saw Thomas Allier's BMX bike (GT), and it had his last name stamped into the frame.

Nevertheless, Whister has to do something about all of these bikes getting stolen. So far it's been Pruitt, Hill and Peat, but you could only imagine how many more victims are out there...these are the ones we hear about.

Well, the sad thing is, unlike most bike thefts, I am sure the people stealing these bikes know something about bikes.

I bet the file comes out first thing...

While I'm here, luc brought this up. We're going to whistler in a few weeks. Luc's bike looks JUST LIKE SAM HILL'S. If you see a skinny guy with a green sunday and boxxer WC complaining about getting his bike muddy in a funny french accent, PLEASE DO NOT KILL HIM. He's freindly.

There were less than 10 Monster Energy Team colored/decaled frames made this season. Other that Luc and one of the guys in the Iron Horse sales dept, the only ones with these bikes would be Sam, Justin, Sean (team mgr) and Jacy (mechanic). I have one front triangle here too but that's it. If you see one out at a race, on the mountain, or for sale get the info to me directly. Any tips that lead to arrest and/or return of the bikes will be rewarded! All tips can be kept confidential.

Don't feel bad ratting someone out if you know anything about it!!

Is he actually cool or does he just spoil you? :wonky2:

 

[V-Dub GTI]

he is actually cool. the dog was for him but the dog likes me better and the bike i got for a b-day present.

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

Is he actually cool or does he just spoil you? :wonky2:

A cool dad will ride with you on the local trails, spoiling is buying you a bike to get you out, and shut you up.

 

[dante]

how much would it freakin' cost for Whistler to hire 2 security guards to walk through the pits at night?? Whistler knows this is a problem, it happens EVERY year, and they have done NOTHING about it. :redhot: Wonder what it would take for them to take the initiative and do something? Claims to their insurance company?

my dad is cool then he rides with me once and a while.

also, if the perp "happens" to fall and hit his face on the ground (repeatedly), you might get a pair of socks in addition to the reward. :trophy_br






j/k - we don't have any socks. :wonky2:

 

[ChrisRobin]

Whistler won't hire any security. It's a company (I forget the name) that owns the resort and of course, any large company is cheap! They'll only start paying attention once they see a loss of revenue from people NOT going riding there because of rampant theft. But when is that going to happen? Never. People will still flock there.

The Westcoast of Canada has HUGE amounts of bike thefts. Victoria is really bad and I'm assuming Vancouver is just as bad or worst. The Victoria Police actually just started an anti-bike theft program where 'bait-bikes' are strategically placed and then surveilled. They actually caught a few people. But a program like this is tough to organized.

 

[tmx]

Intrawest, right?

Not like I'd expect to see the bikes being ridden up there but hopefully sean and jacy don't get assaulted.:wonky2:

Luc already got reported to the honda turner team when he had his push shock on his bike that looked like the one stolen from Anka Martin.

This crap is so bad up there I'm kind of tempted to set up my bike as a trap if it ends up raining one day.

Hope you guys get the things back.

 

[g33grant]

yeah, it is intrawest

 

[dropmachine]

Todd can you post pics of Sam's bike? You just never know where they are gonna show up.

The problem is you were letting an Ant look after your cousin, At least have a mammal sit for you next time. And a talking Ant? You must be, like rich.

 

[ska todd]

Here's one. I'll try to find one w/ a bit more detail.

-ska todd

 

[Transcend]

Bikes stolen in whistler tend to end up in Bromont (no joke, 3-5 already this year, including my team rider's bike stolen last year).

 

[jon-boy]

I drove up there today and as I was near Porteau Cove I saw a mid-90's Toyota pickup (tacoma or SR5) black going in the opposite direction with a syndicate V10 in the back. I was going the other direction so didn't get licence plate or see what the other bikes were, it could have been another syndicate rider but I still gave Whistler RCMP a call to let them know.

 

[Jeremy R]

Yeah, but at least that ant looked all over the hole park.
Doesn't that count for something?

 

[Acadian]

Todd can you post pics of Sam's bike? You just never know where they are gonna show up.

 

[nugget]

Sorry to go off topic, but does anyone know what is that on hill's bike??

Hope that stealer gets caught!

Stop it Frank!

wahh.. ehhe.. i ment,
Does anyone know wat tire is that on hill's bike.. :

 

[ska todd]

They were cut Wet Screams I believe.

[Dogboy]

wahh.. ehhe.. i ment,

The hot patch says Wet Scream, but they look like Medusas to me.

 

[Internal14]

Start strapping claymores to your bikes. God hates bike thieves, and will let you slide for sending them straight to hell.

hmmmm yesss...I can see it now....strap some explosives to the race bikes everynight. If it leaves the perimeter of the trailer...**KABOOM**....no more bike....but one(or more) bike theives gone to hell.
I still don't understand how this is Illegal? I mean heck, if you're doing something illegal, your rights should vanish. Like the burgaler breaking into your house, seriously hurting himself and then sueing the homeowner for negligence or some dumb ass crapola....
Stiffer punishment would clean up lots of pety thefts(not that a $6K bike is anything close to pety!)
