Top of the World has become synonymous with Whistler Bike Park - no trip is complete until you've taken on this mythical beast. Over 5000 vertical feet of descent taking in a number of different trails and every type of terrain imaginable. Races are won and lost on this 20 minute stage that is the ultimate test of mind, body and bike. On the eve of round six of the Enduro World Series, where riders will drop in to Top of the World as the final stage of the race, the EWS asks - is this the most famous trail in the world?
MENTIONS: @EnduroWorldSeries
Top of the World is a pretty unique experience, and everyone should do it once, but the trail & riding is nothing special. I think Whistler just sees the huge marketablility of it.
I still think Slickrock is the most famous trail in the world, but maybe not for long considering that it's now overrun with ATVs. @EKrum:
GLC Has $7 pints just like everywhere else in the province.
Here in Europe Leogang is more famous, or Megavalanche might be more famous (and to my knowledge is the most popular race with people all over the world participating). I couldn't say how famous those tracks are in other parts of the world though.

I'd give anything to have a bike park with a good jump line from top to bottom. I don't have that luxury here, so 'Tech' can be pretty underwhelming sometimes when all you want is to get some air.
