If Elon Musk could harvest the stoke of those who hit Crabs for their first time, he could rule the world.

Jumps are the fucking best.

I did...but did it solo.  I’m a hefty dude and just didn’t trust following your average 150-180 lb ripper.

For me it’s all about pedaling a bit before the first jump.  Coast into two, then depending on conditions, but more often than not, feather the brakes a bit for three.. really easy to go long on that.

If you want to risk following me, feel free but sign a liability waiver first! 😂

Brave doing it solo.

I'm a hefty dude too so good to know. I'll hit you up with a message next time I'm planning a trip up there.

I am no trail builder... but I did a half-EZ lap before escaping back to Crab/Aline. 

I saw enough at the berm at the end of the old-new DM line.

After the new rollers they put in sometime last year... turn right, hit the jump Coast Photo always parks their ass at... the next berm.  They have found a profitable granite mine and have been at it for a long time.  It's a fucking mess there.

Not really bike park related, but what's up with the new urinal in the bathroom under the Bike & Bean/Longhorn. The only other time I've seen that style of urinal was in a grimy old nightclub.

Yeah seems out of character for an "upscale" place like Whistler. Especially considering it's like the main public washroom for the village.

The last time I pissed in a trough was in the old Winnipeg Jets arena.

Does anyone here know if this is owned by the Carlton Lodge strata or someone else?

Regardless, I hope to gain some skills in the next few weeks to launch a new, "Come to Whistler" marketing campaign.

I’m sad Dirt Merch has been dead most of the year.

Really mother fucking sad.

I was happy to see that it was a trough because before it was installed the piping looked like it was going to be just two urinals!
