        The All Mountain Bike – S-Works Enduro.
        With 5”s of rear travel and 6” up front thanks to a DHX air and a Fox 36RC respectively the S-Works has enough travel to deal with the Whistler braking bumps, rocks, roots and other assorted obstacles while still retaining the nimbleness of its XC

        In other news, Ben now has an Iron Horse Sunday, which replaces his Demo 8 - sources quote him as refering to the Sunday as 'Whack!'. Not being straight out of Squampton one presumes this means ace or fab.

        Hardtail pride!
        Back home in the relative flats of Blighty the hardcore hardtail is my ride of choice. You can rattle down a lot of the courses only a few seconds slower than the 8” racer brigade in the morning, hit up your local 8 pack in the

        'What's the biggest truck you have?' That was Sams question to the Avis clerk. But they had no idea of what lay in store for the little...F150. This truck is immense 5 litre engine and enough flatbed space that if it were waterproof, I reckon you could swim in it...

        As you may or may not know the Summer Gravity Camps airdome is now open to us mere mortals at the cost of $15 for a 3 hour session (11-2, 2-5, 5-8).

        A slow trip up the Magic chair and a quick push leads you over to the massive airdome, a sweat box of huge proportions.

        Lets talk about a few of the little things that really piss me off.

        Lets start with A-Line overtaking manouvers, if you want to overtake let people know, theres nothing wrong with giving someone some notice if theyre going slowly and you want to overtake. But when idiots come hooning p

        And theres no one out there. Why?! All the trails ride about 50x better in the rain. The only people on the hill seemed to be the hardy Brits.
        Everyone sitting in staring out the window is missing out. So you get wet, woooo. Dirt Merchant and A-Line are so grippy, Angry Pirate isnt one

        When the queues are zigging and zagging through the maze of barriers theres only one thing to do, head down the hills!

        If you roll down the valley trail past the golf course and over the railway track, you'll eventually come to a quarry, hang a left and you'll eventual

        Lets face it after 2 months of riding the bike park, monotony begins to set it, but all is not lost, there's more to whistler mountain than Freight Train and A-Line. A little knowledge saw Sam and I ride what is quite possibly the best trail I have ever had the pleasure to hit.
