Well these tracks don't change much throughout the year. Though there was a little buffing up before crankworx last year, that made Canadian open just incredible amount of fun. I mean even more than it usually is, being one of my favorites already.

What type of gear should I bring for riding? I plan on buying my own knee pads and full face for some local parks, but should I buy or rent anything else when I head to Whistler. I was thinking a spine or neck protector, but I won't be able to spend a lot. Any recommendations?

I found that the trails I like don't get tracke dout during crank works...

on that note I've been dreaming about laps on rock city.

Depending how hard you ride. Bringing your own bike might be better. you are at that point where both are gonna cost the same thing approximately but you won't be on your own bike. Whistler is known for breaking bikes. But you might be better to bring your bike I'd say. Renting isn't cheap...
