Whistler Bike Park: Life Can Wait - Video
It's fall, which is the season after summer. Obviously. It's the time of year where conditions are at their best. We long for it after the hot and dry days that just past. It means we're back to tacky dirt, cooler temps, and shorter lift lines. That's what makes fall great, right?
Wrong. By now you've spent more time on your bike than at any other time in the year. Your pass in well into the double digits and the number of laps down A-Line, Dirt Merchant, Freight Train, (insert your favourte trail here) is even further into triple digits. You're riding like a boss and whatever feature you've been working up to hitting, it's time to get after it.
Time isn't on your side though because as you're reading this you only have 17 days left to shred. Heck, Top of the World is now closed and already seen its first dusting of snow. What you thought of a summer that would last forever is closing in and now is not the time to toss in the towel. October 9 is literally around the corner so whatever else you thought of doing until then, well, it should wait.
It might be best to spritz yourself with a little extra cologne or perfume because when doing laundry you know there are only two check in's and the time between is wasted.

Does it really matter to your special someone that your legs feel a little rougher than usual? More time they have on the pedals might be what they both really want.

We all can't wait to see the colour and shading of your new ink but are we really going to notice when you're dressed up for fall? Probably not so give your inkist a break and we'll double tap your gram in the winter.

These tables aren't going to ride themselves.
We should be a little happier than this to finally get some rain.
Whips to the right. Can we get some to the left?
Absolute Cinema guys trying to keep up with the speed of Beer.
What's up David?

Fade To Black is calling your name.
After missing most of the 2016 season due to injury, Lula is back and riding like a boss.
Dylan got the keys to the Bike Park and he's not messing around.
Under the bridge. Over the road.
Whips on hips to the left.
Corner explosions happen automatically with this boss.

Snow is falling at higher elevations which is the ultimate curtain call of the season.
These little guys will need to take cover.
Freight Train still has some of its best days ahead.
James being one with his environment.
Blueberry Bathtub is the place to add for steeze to your turns.
Railed.

I'm sad the park has to close.
I miss Remy Metailler's videos.
How to fly there and which airline charges less for the bikes?
Rent a car to get there or bus?
Which are the cheapest places to stay?
Supermarkets around?
How much for a 2 weeks pass?
When is the best moment to get there weather and trails conditions wise?
I think there could be a guide for this or an article on pinkbike, so I can make money for next hear starting today
The cheapest place to stay there it’s the hostel. But check the hotels too... there are supermarkets and cheap places to eat close to the Bike park.
And the conditions they keep changing, but I went there 2weeks ago and trails were really rough, lots of brake bumps and I don’t they are fixing now because the park is closing soon. I’d prefer the beginning of the season.
Who writes the copy for posts like this?
The rest of the world has 'summer' where this great big yellow radioactive fireball (cool huh!) appears in the sky and dries the trails out for them. After a 'summer' riding like that the winter's seem less appealing.
Especially when they get another season called 'winter' where the ground's covered in snow for 4 months and they get to ski instead.
No, no, no, you're wrong. What you really want is over-used trails knee deep in mud that can only be ridden on singlespeed rigid 29ers otherwise you'll forget what your hubs look like below the gloop. The mud here will eat drivetrains in a matter of hours and fork bushings used to be disposable, until they started making them non-replaceable, now forks are disposable.
You can keep your dry and buffed trails, working suspension and drive chains that actually shift.
This is real mountain biking, we just don't make video's about it because you'd all be jealous (and the rain would ruin the cameras).
