Just found out, on the new bike park maps, it says D1 for example, is a Pro Line, meaning most difficult on the trail rating system and should be ridden by experts only.
There you have it. Its not meaning Tom Pro, its meaning hardest level.
Whistler's best trails

I knew it!:clap:
I found A-line was more painful on a hardtail than the hardest stuff on Garbo. Hardtails are perfect for crank it up though.

depends when in the season for A-line. Crank it up always though!
rock city wasnt renamed I dont think, its just referred to "nationals" a lot of the time
It was originally called National Downhill and later renamed Detroit Rock City. Shortened to just Rock City because many (myself included) thought Detroit Rock City was too wordy and just sounds stoopid.
I have a theory that the rename from ND was because it was too easy to confuse with Whistler Downhill (which still has that name).

makes sense
Aline's fun on a ht if you can make tranny all the time. If you can, you can be faster than guys on big bikes!
I would pass people on big bikes near the end of my second season there…they didn't like it!
Then I got a big bike and got slow again.
it's still the nationals course to a lot of folk though too…..
I still find myself calling it nationals which confuses lots of people..
"what have you been riding?"
"schleyer to nationals"
"where is nationals?"
"its now called detroit rock city"
"*blank stare" okay"
and yes, oodles of awesomeness……the better choice rather than clownshoes….
For stupid fast fun, drop into lower whis dh, air out the fall away, and try and hold a nice drift into DRC. The speed you have coming out of that next berm will send you flying into the nationals..errr drc face :) Follow as normal and when you reach the coaster on cshoes, take that line all the way down. Nice mixture of everything in one run. Of course, you miss that awesome chundery rock section after you pop in/out of the trees in LWDH..but for some variety it isn't too bad :)

personally I like lwd to nd to lower joyride…..mmmmmmmm yeah!
I have given up on lower joyride. Every time I wander down that trail there is someone sprawled out on the wooden landing. So to avoid potential carnage, I just trek down cshoes or finish up on nd/drc :)
im hoping giving garbo an extra week before wandering up there is enough time…last weekend was such a slopfest on lower, I couldn't even begin to picture what upper would be like!
