    Saw this on Vital. I probably would have done the same thing as the placement of the sign is blocked by a tree.

    The first step down in the video is huge with a big gap, so I am guessing they were ready for the second to be in the same rhythm. OOOPS! If it were the U.S., lawsuits would be stacking up faster than the riders.

    Wow!

    Very Cool / lucky no one hurt you can actually see the guy that is filming preparing for the landing kinda clearing the fence an leaning into the hill...
    I don't have that skill but don't you recon a trail once before just going for it?...

    At least one guy was hurt, but he eventually played it off and yeah, I would definitely want to recon an advanced trail before hitting blind drops, but sometimes you just trust the trailbuilders to build everything for trail speed and then expect bigger features to be marked.

    Here's some pretty cool footage from that bike park. This guy featured earned his 2012 Rampage invite as a result of his riding in Chatel at the 2012 Mountainstyle event. This place has some features that challenge Whistler bigtime..
