A few months ago Ian Morrison needed some training for beer league, so he called up none other than Steve Smith. Now, the tables have turned and Ian shows Steve the best of Whistler in preparation for Crankworx.

Never a truer word spoken.

jumpbikejames (Aug 29, 2012 at 3:20)

same in scotland, so we say f*ck them and make mini canada in our local riding spots. (and when i say mini, i mean tiny in comparison) but then again we do have fort bill Wink

johndhill (Oct 11, 2012 at 13:49)

yeah you know the southeast has some trails.....yeah!! but not really all we have coldwater, windrock, and like North Carolina

Sidor666 (Oct 12, 2012 at 5:01)

@johndhill
when you say southeast you could mention of what... not all of us are from US

GabrielDugas (Nov 30, 2012 at 9:54)

east coast suck, really? Bromont? mont-saint-anne? Mont-comi? Val d'Irène? Sugarloaf?
Québec have some sick riding!

kona-stinky-trek (Nov 30, 2012 at 11:58)

I meant in comparison to the west coast...

RitzKrakerz13 (Dec 14, 2012 at 13:53)

East coast does not suck.... Highland mountain bike park....heellooo...

blupfDJ (Dec 14, 2012 at 21:22)

fournimd (Feb 28, 2013 at 10:23)

Highland MTB Park may not be the best but its ours and not a bad place for my first concussion and a few broken ribs.....Awesome riding and constantly improving...New lines almost every year

Kona-Stinker-Dude (Mar 1, 2013 at 4:11)

Thats true but what do your injuries have to do with this.

DHr4life (Aug 11, 2012 at 15:45)

ahaha im not too sure myself but im think its cus they were ripping SO hard down scheleyer and fast trails then he sais" lets do clown shoes" which is a slow, techy and difficult ladder trail, thats my assumption

blewMullet (Aug 11, 2012 at 20:13)

Makes sense thx

BILLpunkrockXD (Aug 13, 2012 at 9:33)

or because it's a hard trail, and he says 'No, steve, no.' as a joke for it being easy?

chyu (Aug 23, 2012 at 7:57)

Googled it, it's more like old school freeride slow and technical trails. Wade Simmons era.

cascadiacollective (Aug 23, 2012 at 9:41)

Clown shoes is hell... I rode it just to claim that I hit that final drop but it is hell.

ilovemtnbiking (Aug 23, 2012 at 10:29) (Below Threshold) show comment

Nelson B.C is the best for riding.

bigfootrider10 (Aug 23, 2012 at 17:57)

am i the only one who actually liked clown shoes? not to mention i got an awesome desktop photo of me on the last drop

cascadiacollective (Aug 23, 2012 at 22:09)

yes yes you are... The purpose of clown shoes as a trail is to claim hitting the last drop.

Awesome, just awesome but to be honest I could of done without the slo-mo "shake your wet hair" scene. I was watching this at work and someone walked by right when it came on -- I was seriously embarrassed -- A little too homo-erotic for me...

I don't think it's correct for some people to come here just to insult others like i always see on these coments. we are all here for the same reason, because we like to ride ! Sorry if the English is not the best, i just want to say what i feel about it. Anyway, great video Smile

Too unfair... When someone says "bikepark" here in Finland, it usually means some crappy hill that you go from top to bottom in 30 seconds...

mac1999 (Oct 10, 2012 at 20:13)

When it comes to great places to live you cant go wrong with the North Shore of vancouver just 1 hour from whsitler 45 minutes to squamish and 2 hours to pemberton also you can ride all through the winter on the shore
