Photos from my Canada trip

[jda]

I just got back from Canada a couple of weeks ago, I was in Whistler staying at a mates place for 5 weeks and had a season pass to the bike park. I also did 3 separate weekends of riding on the shore and a 4 day roadtrip to Silver Star bike park with a few other Aussies I met up with over there. I don't have many pics because I was too busy riding but here are a few anyway....

This is at Silver Star, totally awesome bike park, I had more fun there than Whistler but I rode Whistler too much!

Didn't have my armour on, cost me $900 to get stitches, x-rays and gravel picked out of me

Silver Star again, this trail had very nice flow with a few high speed stunts thrown in.

Silver Star is different from Whistler in that it has loose dirt instead of hardpack like most of Whistler, its got jumps, drops and massive berms everywhere too.

I think it flows better too, there is one trail where you are doing about 40 - 50kmh the whole way and you never have to pedal or use the brakes it just goes back up hill in sections where you would need to slow down but then goes down again before you loose any speed, its like this for 15 minutes and you usually have to stop half way to take a rest. But my favourite is all the loose dirt, you can just drift every corner!

I got no photos of Whistler on this trip, was too busy riding!
