Daivdchelli you need to chill out because I am sure they are trying there best and maybe it's because your a stuck up little B***h but they are probably better then you and we all know that you are just bloody jealous so shut up and let them make a frickin video.

Best biking resort in the world (possibly the universe). I find that Kicking Horse is one of the only lift accessible biking resorts that does feel like you are going down a perfectly groomed bmx course. i love the exposed rocky trails and second guessing whats around every blind corner like you would on a privately built trail that you have not ridden before.

It improved a lot last summer. More wood, machinery and carpet has smoothened it out. The crew is going to keep working on that this year.

I'm with japage, DH bikes don't have 8 inches so we can deal with braking bumps. The keyword in 'mountain', as in not manicured. That wide open stretch right at the beginning is especially what Whistler is missing, they don't really have much in the way of fast wide open singletrack. Might just be a symptom of having so many people right there though.

Looks like a pretty sick place, but nothing especially taxing. looks good fun though, and you should have used better riders on a promo vid.

Nothing taxing?
you should ride there for a day and tell me how un-taxed you feel.. Kicking Horse is crazy tough riding. Every rock there is a triangle of doom.. bring armor!! That hill will ride you harder than the 89 Denver Broncos.. NO LUBE. 4300 vertical feet on ever ride from the top.. 40+ minutes if you stop for water.

Triptex is right... this place goes off and will rip you a new one in a heartbeat if you let your guard down.

Keep in mind this video was made 2 summers ago, since then the place has really focused on "flow" and has improved greatly. Plus this is a promo for the resort and as such needs to appeal to a large majority of people. Having only videos of riders dropping huge cliffs and spinning 360's doesn't appeal to the average rider. Resort Mountain Biking is still in its infancy and is still growing, attracting new riders to the sport is the best thing that can happen and will allow the sport to progress much further.

It is pretty fun there
I got to ride there in late Aug. and the trails were just beat to shit. there was like 6 to 8 in braking bumps everywhere. I thik in a year or two that place will be sweet.

I may have missed it but, where exactly is this? ...and do they offer "I got my ass kicked by a bear insurance?"
