Whistler Bike Park Phat Wednesday - Race 7

Another week, another beauty Phat Wednesday. Racers took on a different type of challenge last night on a course that was full of jumps and berms instead of rocks and roots. Whistler locals and gung-ho travelers alike smashed out laps on A-Line-> After Atlantis -> Crabapple Turns -> B-Line.

Racing A-Line is a dream for many people, Phat Wednesday is all about making dreams come true.

Four-wheel flyin'.

Claire Buchar knows how to keep it low.

Cheers to Clint for endless bangers this season!

Kit of the week?

Quick jaunt over a bridge on After Atlantis.

After a bunch of massive berms on A-Line, racers had to hold it together on the fast, open and off-camber corners on Crabapple Turns.

Crabapple Turns has been reworked and is now full of drift-able corners for all.

Ok, maybe there were a couple of roots on course last night. Didn't seem to phase Bike Park athlete, Tristan Merrick.

A few final berms and booters on B-Line to finish the race off. There was time to be made up here if you weren't already gassed from the upper section of the course.

Cheeeeeeeeers.

Big win for George Newham!
