The Whistler Bike Park is amazing right now. The trail crew's efforts and the lucky wave of warm weather have helped shape some unreal trail conditions. The dirt is tacky and there are some fresh sections of trail new for 2013 that scatter the lower mountain. Even in the pouring rain, Rupert and I had an awesome time shooting this video. Filming in the bike park is awesome because it’s easy to capture footage that's fast, flowy, and fun to watch. - Mark Matthews
Stoke Levels have just doubled! Only 30 Days, 22 Hours, 0 Minutes until I live there for the summer!!!!... I mean.. not that I'm really counting or anything...
You know when you watch a video and you think to yourself "he doesn't look that fast or good , I think I could keep up with him for sure" Ya this isn't one of them!!
I hope you all realize he's cheating. Whistler put down that wet tacky brown stuff on all their trails to make his tires stick to the ground. That's not fair.
not really, he was just skidding and doing dumb tweeks. Im assuming he lives at whistler, so he should be able to ride a lot better. and he only threw 2 good whips.
its not "steez" or any bit cool, its just a stereotypical whistler *ag that just skids, tweeks his bars while manualing every 10ft, and doesn't wear gloves. This is how you "slay whistler" www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1vl_2x6w5M
@sessionman123abc i couldn't help to notice that the rider in the second video wasn't wearing gloves, pulled some manuals, and skidded. sweet vid, though
Also huge props for showing the trail features pretty much in order. That was awesome for those of us that haven't been up yet this year. It's looking rad. 30 days to go...
When the sun comes up at 7, and its dark by 5pm, and those few shor hours of daylight are just rain, wind, and cold and shit temperatures, makes me really wish I could go and chill in B.C for a month or two
Gah. My sarcasm recognized machine is all fucked up. I thought he was slamming BC because it was rainy in the video. The Internet wins again.
For what it's worth I've toured Australia as well and love the country.
My apologies. Whistlers nice. Nice people should come to whistler. Seems like half of Australia is already there anyway.
spec has the ultimate freeride/slopestyle team at the moment with matthews, the claw, montgomery, genovese, soderstrom and of course coastal crew and what does it say - spec sells shitload of these demo bikes to give so many paychecks.
this guy mark Matthews just made it look so easy !!!!!! like I could just get off my couch ,go to whistler and kill it just like that ............but we know that a dream ...lol....flow was so smooth luv da way he was throwing those manual wheelies all over da place ,,,peep out the foot work in the air shots nice !!!!!
Me too, hellyeah. Even if I were talented this obviously would never happen with all that load of duties for wife, kid, job... F*CK... That biking glass is half empty.
First time seeing this kid ride. Impressive, he obviously has the speed, style and bike control. Good tune, sending deep like whis is meant to be ridden. So why speed the riding up? Hate when editors do that, ruins it for me..
Mark is easily becoming one of my favourite riders. The way he throws his bike is so stylish. Whenever im watching a new video from him i do my best not to blink. Great video guys, keep it up!

Very good, style for miles.....
But and it's a big BUT, and I'm sure you'll shoot me down, I would.
I just kinda wanted him to hit a jump straight, I love a good whip as much as the next man
but that was just overload, almost like a nervous tick.
Never mind, still makes me want to ride
Hate to be that guy who's a dick, but i've seen SO MANY whistler edits that when l see a "sponsor me" style solo ride on the frontpage in a popular bikepark l want to be blown away by innovative lines, speed, tricks and style.
For me this was the same old blue runs and jump trails on slightly cumbersome downhill bike. Looked like an average run. Fair play to Matt with the suicide but it looked kinda rushed.
Ya this isn't one of them!!
This video is the nuts btw
