Every year the bike world drools over the happenings at Crankworx Whistler. I always find myself trolling the highlight videos that come out checking to see what the next big trick or new trend in the mountain bike world is. By far, my favorite part of the week has to be the Whip-off. There is no trick better in my mind. It's so simple it's difficult. Everyone has a different way of doing it and different style.
Don't mind the dh bro in the middle of the video. He has never actually pedaled a bike. "I only shuttle my downhill bike to the top of the 2 mile downhill near my house." I've fun into a few people with this mindset around Tahoe. They refuse to legitimize anything but the 8 inch travel one dimensional downhill bike. Don't get me wrong. The bikes look fun, but they really only provide one type of riding. If I hit the lotto tomorrow, I'd definitely have a bad dh rig, but I'm poor so I have a bike that can perform in more than one category. People fear change and I guess there is resistance to change in any sport.
