how do you like those tld elbows? my bro just got me a pair and i dont know to keep them or not?

[kinkrider888]

@alginplumkin I like them a lot, but keep them tight, they have a tendency to slide down

at 2:49 i came off my bike for no apparent reason, did a forward roll down the hill wih my left arm still stretched out in front of me and therefore twisted my shoulder till it broke. on my flipping birthday during the first week of a five week biking holiday that sapped all the money i had saved up over three years. thanks whistler

@Starcraft2playa generally If you want to mountain bike, you won't be doing anything like this to start out with.. and to be honest, you probably won't have the best of bike to start out with.. but to answer your question.. yes! they always say "it's not if you're going to wreck, but when you're going to wreck".

@Starcraft2playa stick to starcraft

i have 2 questions 1: do you need fast reflexes for this and 2: dont you ever get nervous when the bike shakes like that?

[zachmakepeace]

all the way down and you crash in the last 20 seconds that sucks but nice vid

@ka120990 sorry forgot to ask my question, which is do you think it would still be worth the trip using a hardtail?

[ka120990]

ive been wanting to make a trip to whistler for the longest time. ive been on riding seriously for about a year now with past experiences when i was younger. and i think this summer is the time for me to go. i would be coming from san francisco. ive been told that i need a much more forgiving bike to ride whistler. im riding my hardtail scott reflex 45. due to financial issues, id rather not step up my equipment now. its been great for skeggs point in woodside, waterdog in belmont.
