Big features are big. Walk before you ride.

This trip to Kelowna was definately an undertaking - Liam and I had been planning this project for 24 hours. We worked really hard to pull out all the stops in this video. We had slo-mo goggle shots; time lapses; pedal flips; outrageous product shots; unloading and loading the bike; walking through the field with your hand in wheat. At the end of the day this trip was all about just getting out and riding with all my friends.

Big features aren't that big…but they are big enough to hurt if you charge them blind. I agree, look before you leap.

FTB is so easy ,When are they gonna build bigger jumps like on can open .
I think its getting rather Tame. Eg is Schleyer and Afternoon Delight Double black my ass.
But people will crash on trails like Capt saftey
D1
Can open
Biker Cross
Lower JR
Goats Gulley

So really - how big?

It is so hard to tell on video.

It's all subjective.

Rolling speed from a 7x7' (ish) step-down will get you through everything on a fairly flat trial so it's all rather straightforward. If you can hit the Yard Farm step-up on Freight you'll have no problem. As usual for Whistler it's very well built but IMO the jump onto the step-up needs to be pulled back a foot or so.

Rode it yesterday a few times and that was my first time seeing it. The first step down(trail gap) is the only real formidable stunt. Trannies right into a berm and is muddy right now.Run in is a bit sloppy to. Agree with JCL on the step up, never had any probs but it feels tight! attached a still pic out of my gopro vid, might give an idea of size if it shows.

Look before you leap, but a super awesome trail!
As an estimate, the road gap is ~8ft high x 12ft out, possibly a bit more. I'm completely guessing though. I can say that I'm 6'6" and the take off is well above my head if I stand below it.

The stunts are so small,you don't even need a chain, but hey thats me,remember if your goanna look at the stunts stay clear of the trail and respect those who ride it.
