Down hilling at Whistler
May 2nd, 2008 by hammond
A couple of months ago I went to Blackcomb Whistler. It is a ski park and a bike park. Yeah, I went down hilling. This is a very intense sport, which my brother enjoys a lot so we gave it a try. This was my first time and my brother had already mastered stuff about it since he practices this sport 24/7. So, we went on black diamond trails. MY sweat was dropping down my forehead meanwhile I was riding on a Kona Stinky with some nice 88’s. This is awesome suspension. I was riding a full suspension bike so on the intense jumps over gaps; the landing was not that hard. This was the most fun I have had. But, on a drop, a bailed and was very soar (it was a black diamond called Dirt Merchant). The only problem was that a very advanced down-hiller was coming down at about 65 miles per hour and almost crashed into me. I had a huge bruise for a while and my arms were to soar to keep on. But Mark and I kept going for a couple more days. At the end, I was thinking about how much of an opportunity this gave me and this moment inspired me to keep on riding. There were other things to do around the town of Whistler Canada. So we decided to walk around. If you guys have been to Florida than you would know what I meant after you walk for days because of visiting or shopping, this gets your legs pretty soar, especially after down hilling for days! So, if you guys want a heck of a work out and you are the type of person who likes extreme sports which you can get hurt on. This is an awesome place that is just right for you! This is a video of some people with a headcam doing Dirt Merchant too.
