Can't Steal Our Happiness - Whistler

Kiwi lads Ben Brakenridge, Jeremy Cox, Nick Dethridge, and Conor MacFarlane spend the last few days of Summer in the park, lapping some of their favourite tracks. The night before this was filmed Conor and Jeremy's downhill bikes were stolen from their home in the village. Not to be held back, the boys pulled out the jump bikes and took to the park. It ended up being a killer day, filled with laughs, drifts and a few gas to flats, going to show that you can't steal happiness.

 I can't imagine 3months. I crashed in Whistler 2 weeks ago on something really stupid, been off the bike for 2 weeks and have been going through some brutal withdrawals. Hang in there dthomp325!

 Yep, skills are much more important than machine. Going to go get my Stiffee out now.

 Yeah I learned that too some time ago when my freerider didn't want to be ridden anymore and i had to ride my dirt in the bikeparks with my buddies riding bikes with more than 2 times longer forks Big Grin . But by riding fast and having some skills I rode almost every freeride trail without hurting myself.
Downhill trails are hard but freeridetrails work pretty well.
Props for the crabapples and the crack addict and everything else!

 seeing them on the same lines in unison with their friends (who didn't get their dh rigs stolen), was stellar. The theme "you can't steal our happiness" was spot on, something about seeing the different bikes shredding together (which you rarely see in mtn bike edits), honestly made me feel really happy, as if there is nothing that should get one down, and nothing one can't do.
