You’re a gravel cyclist, you just haven’t figured it out yet :)

You are growing up lol*

Is it always this dry up there??

Hats off to you sir. Great job

That plastic on the outer part of the patch you're supposed to have a roller that you roll back and forth on the patch and when you do that that plastic will come off

Dude! I haven’t seen one of your videos in like two years and just watched this today. Brother you lost a lot of weight you look great!!

Super sick to watch as a especially now. The ski resort is open and I’m riding everyday, cool to see the deference in how everything looks

Thank you. I was about to buy this. And now I’m not :).

Come on over to the big island and play. Tzouhalem. Provost. Gordie lund...

You've got such a chill narration style I enjoy it.

Whistler is amazing and MissFire is a HOOT! Well done guys. Riding from TOW to the village is one of my crews favorite things to do when we are there. Tossing out a SUB to my fellow mtb'er and KZbinr. 👍🏼

Great video. Love your honesty. The Anxiety chat, and the thoughts and feelings etc. I know what you mean about getting something stuck in your head, it takes over, can’t think about anything else, it’s like an obsession. Keep riding bikes 🤘

I have only dabbled in mountain biking and never even thought of bike parks, but this looked like a really fun trip with great buddies. Was a joy to watch!

Started in the bike industry in the mid 80’s. So, I’m an old crusty bike fan. People need more content like this. The knarly, balls to the wall content isn’t bringing new people to ride. This type will.

That’s a BIIIG day! A testament to all that hard work you’ve been putting in over the last few years.

I think I know that Scott guy from somewhere 😂😂😂

Great video. I agree, there's something to be said for pedaling up, whether it's a technical single track or forest service road to earn your turns on the descent. It's good exercise and makes for a much more rounded and epic experience. It's nice to ride out in nature where the trails are free to use, lack the dreaded breaking bumps and don't require you to stand in any lineups! The additional calories burned and cardio benefit means you can enjoy that high-carb and protein meal with a drink of choice guilt-free post ride. Having said that, bike parks are fun too and they have their place. A few times a season is enough for me. The thing you can't replace is the amount of vertical you get riding a park. The resulting practice you get descending fast through berms and hitting features at speed will either kill you or increase your competence and competence exponentially...which you can then take with you to your usual trails. You can't beat the bike park for how quickly it can help you to develop riding skills!

I love my Saint's so much

My wife and I were there in 2014 for our honeymoon. I'd love to go back to do some cycling. Every morning, groups would leave from Rooms with a View in Ocho Reos. Irie.

Do you need a passport to cross from america to canada via car?? Jw because id love yo ride whistler but in my wctive addiction days which I'm 6 years sober off alcohol and 7 years clean off drugs I caught a felony and I can't get a passport thank you very much and great video dude I sure hope so that I can go there

E-Bikes = Cheating. PERIOD!

I was there for our 1st time to bikefest when that nado came! Airbnb already booked for 2025. You coming back?

I’m headed back to Whistler next summer after 17 years away. I rode the double black tech on a hardtail last time, I’m in my 50’s now. I might have to rethink it.

Marathon days at Whistler are much more enjoyable on a DH bike--the travel, the geo, the high bars, dual crown, DH casings. I was up 2x/week this summer. For me, rest days were also key. Kept the body going, and kept it fresh for the brain too.

What MTB computer are you using? What features do you use the most?

Great video, new subscriber here. Showed on my feed. Been riding since late 80s as well. Cheers

watching your video made me realize I might not be a park guy either. Great video

Sweet. Saw you and your buddies on Creekside when you were there. I was like...this guy has a familiar voice. I couldn't put my finger on it until later in the day. Glad you had fun. That's a lot of riding. Nice work.

I've been regrettably absent in consuming much content lately, but I'm so glad I watched this one. Rob, this was one hell of a great vid, content and quality both were exceptional. Super fun watch, story was great, editing was fantastic. Glad you had a great trip and shared it with us! Cheers buddy

Great riding man! Love those little victories that boost confidence. Come over to vancouver island and ride mt prevost and do some dh shuttle laps.

I don’t get it. When you say “park” what do you mean? What is Bellingham if not a bike park? Confused.

Very cool video. I just got back into mtb a few months ago, and now I remember why I quit 2 decades ago. My knuckles absolutely hurt and can’t move my fingers after 5 minutes of rough downhill. It’s alright though, just doing some xc riding is fun to me again.

It's so awesome to see your progression. Remembering your riding from the early years of this channel like how much you struggled to climb to your abilities on tech to what you're able to accomplish now is so Fricking Rad! Remember when Jackass Trail was Epic? Now it would be causal for you. My riding buddy and I have been able to have similar progression and it's great to watch you do it at the same time! Great Video and Cheers to many more in 2025!!! 🎉🙌🤙

I love MTN biking, but ive never ridden at a bike park and dont think id like it. Im 41 now and i was in a really gnarly road bike accident when i was 28,I still have some fear from that. I dont really like jumps or super gnarly trails. Im fine to ski a double black at the resort, but dont really have an interest in bike parks. Im very happy on my local moderate single track in SoCal.

Funny enough that's also why ebikes suck

you are right you are just a KZbin guy

@ 14:15 I think I have skied that run. I remember going off those little Baby cliffs. It takes a lot of snow to cover up those rocks.

Hands down the most enjoyable mtb video I've ever watched. Plus, you made me actually want to go to Whistler! Never felt the desire, most videos are people hitting just the massive features...I'm to old for that sh*t. Thanks man, subscribed!

LAME

Just found your channel, great videos so far.

Great video. I'm working on the hardtail to get it where it's capable enough for any trail I care to ride. The biggest single improvement in manoeuvrability was to lighten up the front by swapping the Suntour Fork for a Fox 36.

Forgive my ignorance but if you don't like park/trail, what do you like?

I my local MTB scene it seems like everyone that does DH ends up hurt. At 50 years old I can’t afford to get hurt. I keep my tires on the ground and stick to XC.

Getting stuck on a lift after spending that much money would be the most frustrating thing ever.

Dude, great video!

I’m fairly new to riding (going on 6 years) and I’ve only riding park maybe 6 times. I still feel nervous when I go for a lot of the same reasons as you. I love the honesty of this video. Great job dude! I hope to be healthy and not recovering from surgery next time you come to Bellingham so we can ride!

Fantastic stuff, finally a 'real' whistler vid!

Try it again at power level 2 or 3 which would be much more realistic.

Cool video! I'm also not a jumper. You made Whistler look more approachable to me. Not sure if I'll ever be there. I'm riding in the Swiss Alps.

This is so validating. As someone who is relatively new and gets intimidated by blue trails in my local state parks it is nice to see that sometimes it is okay to just go "nope" and walk around something even though I know that I probably could do something. I try to go with the philosophy of "If I'm not feeling it, I'm not doing it" and then going to ride some easier trails or being okay with walking around things I don't want to do. Thank you for being honest.
