Sifting through the gigs of video from 2012: some headcam from the famous A Line with a woodwork diversion.

Nice one, much better riding than displayed in my recent Whistler video!

Lovely stuff! Looks great fun.
One day I’ll manage to get there…

I miss Whistler 🙁
Nice vid.
Missed out my fave jump ever though, that last hip-jump on A-Line before big GLC. Love it
Nearly landed on a bear off it last year

Nice video, but kept thinking you were going to come up short on the gaps!

Yep: took the woodwork too slow & cased back wheel. Need a lot of speed on A Line, which takes balls when you come face to face with those massive table tops. On Crank it Up (blue version of A line) we had more speed by the end of the week & we were landing between the tables. So much stuff at Whistler we only rode A Line a couple of times.

Good video, enjoyed that a lot.

Na will give that a miss thanks.

Can’t help but think I would be more worried about bears than the course. Imagine fixing a puncture and hearing twigs snap behind you.

haha I had that problem as well, especially those ones near the end!

That looks fun.

Are you on DH bikes?

That trail looks lovely. Want to go to Whistler next year and do the Summer Gravity Camp… What bikes to use!?

I was riding a Scott Voltage with Totem 180’s up front, two riders ahead; 1 on a Transition 250 & other on an Orange Alpine. Another 3 of our riders were also on Alpines and the guide reckoned they were at their limit in the park. My Voltage was the perfect bike there. 7 inch coil travel on a slack bike gives you the confidence to hit the big stuff: I never thought I’d do the containers, Fade to Black or start to clear the tables on A Line.

That’s really all down to our guide: Mark from BearBackBiking. He progressed us up to some very leery stuff by the end of the week. If you go to Whistler I’d suggest a guide as you’ll get much more out of the park, even though its way marked and I’d give BearBackBiking 5 stars.

Aahh, I love freight train and drop-in clinic.
Stayed with BearBack in 2008, perfect hosts and guides.

I loved Crank it Up and Black Velvet.Fair play doing that container- looked terrifying.

Great Vid for a dull Monday night – nice1!

Those videos bring back some very happy memories.

This is making me very excited about next years holiday already! I was thinking of taking my Genius LT and possibly hiring a DH bike for one of the weeks if the LT isn’t up to it.

I was also thinking of doing a week with SummerGravityCamps and then a week with BearBackBiking.

Why not flip that around? Get a weeks priming with our guides/coaches then take that confidence and riding progression to rip with the pro’s.
