i-ride-on-dirt FL (Jul 21, 2015 at 13:02)

yup

brodiediablo (Jul 21, 2015 at 17:13)

A bunch of others too.

Well, sort of really bad advertising i guess, and it's sort of Squampton guys? Does "Whistler" really enhance your crappy bikes?

I thought it was a great little video. Not sure what your deal is calling people out that you know nothing about. Hope you enjoy ridding you negative NANCY BITCH!!!!

Stayed with Bear Back last year. Amazing guides, riding, and accommodation. Top shelf experience for a VERY fair price.

What's the name of the trail with the rope bridge over the water???

dirty-mind (Jul 22, 2015 at 20:31)

Lower yer Saddle. Just south of Whistler.

a-m-c (Jul 22, 2015 at 20:33)

thanks. I'll try to find a map….any tricks to finding the 'start'…?

dirty-mind (Jul 24, 2015 at 14:37)

There's a gravel pull off about 2km south of Function Junction. The trail starts from there.

Doesn't sound like a bike video with that title...

beeboo (Jul 21, 2015 at 10:24)

Trails looked awesome! I haven't seen Paul ride in any videos or seen him in any pictures in years. Glad he's still out ripping it up!

Bear back biking is an awesome outfit been using these for 8 years now. They have a really good setup.

charlielynes (Jul 21, 2015 at 12:58)

I wouldn't trust my Whistler trips to anyone else. The perfect setup for a perfect holiday, year after year.

jskiff (Jul 21, 2015 at 13:18)

Been thinking about booking something for next year. Is it a pricey affair or not too bad?

charlielynes (Jul 21, 2015 at 13:51)

@jskiff not at all pricey for what you get mate.. you can pick a flight up with Canadian Affair for about £600-£700 quid and as for Bear Back you can check out there pricing on there web page.. bearbackbiking.com
superb accom, fully tooled secure storage and a beer stocked fridge. They have there own on site chef so no worries there, probably the best guiding you will find in Whistler for both the park and the wider valley network. To give you an idea of the quality of guides from previous years, some are now on World Cup Teams as riders and mechanics or putting out content here as Pinkbike staff. And with the Canadian dollar now at 2-1 for the £.. its the cheapest its been for many years.. get on it and you will never regret it.

hope this helps you make up your mind...

jskiff (Jul 21, 2015 at 13:59)

Defo mate, cheers for coming back to me I've already emailed them

I'll chuck your name in as a reference if it will maybe secure you a cheeky discount

Thanks again.

charlielynes (Jul 21, 2015 at 14:03)

@jskiff cheers mate.. pm'd you

I have a 93 M2 hanging on my wall in the garage. It held up for 18 years and countless XC, DS and DH races to the tune of 30,000+ miles. I retired it because it was old, not broke. It was an incredible bike. It was my 3rd mtb. The geometry is too jacked up these days, compared to my new relaxed bikes, to ride it seriously. That thing loved to be pushed hard and always rewarded you for the effort.

uh, I think this belongs with the correct article...here -

woops.

topherdagopher FL (Jul 21, 2015 at 12:28)

whoa that's weird. That's not even my comment. I've never seen that in my life. My comment was... "Paul Bas is the tits" or something like that. Cause ya know...he is.

charlielynes (Jul 21, 2015 at 12:54)

comments are getting screwed up all over Pinkbike today and appearing on wrong articles and attributed to wrong people

redguy13 (Jul 21, 2015 at 10:57)

Check out footage 1:50 to 1:55, how do you think its shot?
Maybe 4k camera on bike, than cropped and followed a rider??

artbarn (Jul 21, 2015 at 11:17)

Epic on movi is how we did that shot

redguy13 (Jul 28, 2015 at 12:37)

Great shot! Hope to see more inventive shots like that!

Next best job to being a sponsered competitor...

emearg (Jul 21, 2015 at 14:45)

Sshredder (Jul 21, 2015 at 14:18)

kiwifamilyman (Jul 23, 2015 at 11:31)

Nice Scott ad......

somniumus (Jul 21, 2015 at 7:16)

Had genius couple of years ago, was a pretty good bike, tried LT last year - great bike, loved it. But videos from Scott, or many other EU guys do feel overly commercial and gay, I agree.

chyu (Jul 21, 2015 at 11:00)

You mean those videos of Vink, Brendawg, Vinny T, Kyle J ?

moroj82 (Jul 21, 2015 at 7:03)

fleboz (Jul 21, 2015 at 7:26)

Do people really expect a video posted by Scott Sports not to be about Scott Sports?

theedon FL (Jul 21, 2015 at 7:44)

Well I thought it was a great little video. Whistler has some of the sickest trails around outside of the park. Sounds like you're just a complainer. Maybe you should go watch YouTube videos. You can't expect bike companies to not want to showcase their bikes and athletes on a mountain bike website

scott-townes (Jul 21, 2015 at 7:45)

Thank goodness you can skip the first 40 seconds and enjoy almost 2 minutes of trail shreddy awesomeness. I mean like, ugh! I know, right!? so like totally ghey.

The Genius is a sick bike, SUCK IT!
