Breaking news! The Whistler bike park opened for the first time today, they opened up 11 trails in total including a-line, crank it up, b-line, crack addict, and a few more, well 6 more actually. Dave was working so he has only just gone up to sneek one run in, so it was left for Tim, Bec and I to get up for first lift at 11ish. But it bizarrely turnes out that we missed first by 2 hours?! wierd ehh?? We met up with Jack Reading and a crazy German called Gunther who was in-fact, rather boringly, called Toby, but never mind. We did a couple of runs on crank it up which is an amazingly long and stupidly fun blue run with cool corners, nice sized tables, wall rides and a mini step up/down box. Bec showed us all that she is meaning business this season by clearing the biggest table on the trail, and then crashing in the next corner trying to corner iike sam hill on the inside of berms. Unfortunately she doesn't seem to be able to handle drifting quite like he does! Tim did some silly fast a-line runs on his hardtail and i just tried to stay on in the corners with Daves stupid street tire up front.
Good first day, looking forward to tomorrow, but we are off out to the premier of Kranked 7.
