Former Mountain States Cup Racers meet at Whistler Bike Park

Well when two former Mountain States Cup Racers have a chance meeting at the top of the Fitz chair at the Whistler Bike Park a ripping ride has to happen!

Lindsay Tralene Yost, (Trek Dirt Series Coach) from Longmount,Colorado and Wendy Palmer (Moab Mountain Bike Instruction) from Moab, UT.

They both raced in the Southwest Mountain States Cup Series, Lindsay came up through the series as a Cat 2 and then 1, Wendy was already racing pro, winning races in the US and Canada.

Races were at Winterpark, CO, Telluride and more!

I was about to shoot a video for Lindsay and on the way to Dirt Merchant from the gondola , Lindsay noticed Wendy and said hey, do you want to be in a video?
Dirt Merchant however was closed at the time so we headed back to hit Schleyer for some tech shots, on the way down they also hit Upper Joyride and then finished off with Clown Shoes with the old infamous PinkBike drop which is now a roll down.

Now being Mom's that SHRED, Wendy had to go pick up her toddler at the Whistler Daycare, so this was all shot in one run down the mountain.
